Deluxe
2-pack
The
deluxe pack includes two denziens of the deep: King
Shark and Black Manta. For Black Manta, the post-'Underworld
Unleashed' mutated version was chosen for the sculpt.
Here
are closer views of the new figures:
Unexpectedly,
sculptor Arkenyon has apparently switched sides from being
a hotshot Marvel character sculptor for Toy Biz to the joining
the purist pantheon for DC. Here's what he had to say:
"See,
what haaaaad happened was, is that, I tried to force the
scale issue with Toy Biz. I told them 5 1/2 inch scale,
or nothing. But then I heard that the new figures were 6
inch scale. I'm not saying that I won't work on Marvel figures
again, but these knuckleheads have got to get their act
together. For now, I'm happy helping to fill out the DC
action figure roster."
When
asked what the future held, Arkenyon smiled wickedly and
said, "Evil, pure evil." We took that to mean more DC villains,
but only time will tell.
