JLA/Witchblade

A new joint venture between Hasbro and Clayburn Moore comes this
wonderful line based around the DC/Top Cow crossover production
JLA/Witchblade. It may only have been a one shot, and it may not
have generated much interest, but the action figures possibilities
were simply too great to resist for Hasbro executives.
In the format of Hasbro’s previous JLA releases, this new
line features phenomenal Witchblade sculpting from Clayburn Moore
of Moore Action Collectibles, famous for his Witchblade action
figures and sculptures.
 
This
line features four previously unmade characters in the 5”
scale. Of course, a Witchblade line would be nothing without Sara
Pezzinni – this line has two! The NY cop “with a really
nasty partner” features in this line with two phenomenally
sculpted action figures. Version one sees Sara in her striking
red and blue JLA uniform. This figure is accompanied by a beautifully
sculpted Sara as Witchblade in the very same uniform, as seen
in the final scenes of this intriguing comic book.
But
Sara is not the only Witchblade in this line! The amazing Amazon
Wonder Woman is featured in her Witchblade incarnation, with excellently
sculpted Witchblade armour in the style of M.A.C.s famous creations.
Huntress and Oracle as Witchblade were also planned, but sadly
they were dropped for cost reasons.
Accompanying
the bladeweilders, comes onetime Witchblade bearer, computer adviser
to the JLA and old friend to Sara – Barbara Gordon, Oracle.
Babs comes complete with a wheelchair and laptop for aiding Sara
and the JLA. Originally set to complete this line was the scheming
millionaire Kenneth Irons, but was dropped from the line with
no explanation from Hasbro or Moore.
Each
figure come individually carded with JLA action figure stands,
except for Oracle, who is packaged in a special JLA Display Box.
Hasbro are currently considering re-releasing these figures along
with previous releases in three box sets:
Sara and Sara as Witchblade
Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman as Witchblade
Sara and Martian Manhunter.
Wonder
Woman and Wonder Woman as Witchblade
Sara
and Martian Manhunter
