Looks like "Legion of Three Worlds" is taking the month off, or maybe it's just slipping a week into December where we'd have two issues. Hopefully.

I got my Starman last week, and he's one of the coolest looking action figures I've seen, hands down. The head sculpt is excellent, but the best feature by far is his costume, which is made from a glitter-filled smoky black translucent plastic. MUCH better than a painted on starfield!

The 3 main criticisms I have are with his left hand sculpt (it's a little bony/Blackest Night looking from certain angles), he's NOT wearing his flight ring, and most importantly...at 7" tall he towers over the Silver Age figures and even dwarfs the 3 founders & my Superman figure.
Why can't DC Direct keep their scales consistent?!
But finally having an LSH figure in a Bronze Age costume is very cool indeed! It makes me want a whole set of them even more (I dreamed of having figures like the ones in Clark's basement when I was a little tyke in the 70s).
Since DC Direct is still ignoring the Legion, I guess it's time to customize...first order of business: Shadow Lass in her Grell bikini. I found an excellent customizer and think I have the perfect base figure in a Green Lantern Fatality (visions of getting Tasmia made is the only reason I bought her).
We're just going to have to give her some extra high heels so she can be posed next to Thom!
Any suggestions for a good base for a similarly scaled Mon-El?
