C2E2 2012: DC Collectibles Ame-Comi
Wait, don't click your back button! I know, it's DC's much-maligned Ame-Comi line but these are better than you'd expect. These designs are out there but somewhat truer to the characters than Ame-Comi figures of old. The build quality, at least to my eyes, is actually pretty good on these. DC Collectibles featured a handful of older Ame-Comi figures, but also showed some upcoming ones. We got a look at: Hawkgirl (May 2012), Black Flash (June 2012), Arisia (August 2012), the squid-tastic Brainiac (September 2012), and a new Harley Quinn (October 2012). Out of these I think Harley's my favorite, and Arisia's my least favorite due to the hair. This is encouraging, though, for the future of Ame-Comi. The faces and overall quality look much better. The designs, though still quite outlandish, at least make some sense. Not bad, DC. [Pre-order at DC Collectibles] Did you know?

5:00 PM on 05.17.2011 Ame-Comi's Wonder Woman as Star Sapphire is ... well ... very pink and yellowSo, we don't really care for Ame-Comi that much. There have been a few winners in the line, but overall we have felt as if there were more misses than wins. There's already been a figure of Star Sapphire, and it was ugly. Now...
