Whew, that's a long name for what looks like a Final Crisis Mongul action figure with some alterations. Oh, and still no rematch with Martian Manhunter after nearly thirty years. Why do I bother?

All four figures feature multiple points of articulation and include a display base. Character-appropriate accessories are also included.

Black Lantern Batman • 6.75” h

Finally. A comic written for my reading level!!

I wish J'onn would show up in the Johnny DC offerings...or at least Super Friends.

Mongul versus J'onn really does seem like a no brainer, doesn't it? I mean, much of Supes physical rogues gallery has been brought in for J'onn to punch up in the past, this would be the rare case of J'onn having original dibs, albeit only implied.
