Laerico asks: Hi Julius!! Your new site is amazing, congratulations!
Well, Kingdom Come will complete 10 years in 2006, and we know the first 3 waves sold really well, so, is there any hope of seeing one or two waves of Kingdom Come figures in 2006? C`mon, they could even include new versions of the big guns with each wave, like civilian Clark or farmer Clark, and exo-skeleton Bruce!
Julius says: Thanks. I can’t take credit for much of the look. I just bought a tabloid at the grocery store and showed it to Jason and said "kind of like that" and then he went to town and you can see the result! The first 3 waves of Kingdom Come did sell well for DC Direct and it does still feel a bit incomplete to many collectors. I have heard from reliable sources that Alex Ross himself has lobbied DC Direct to at least do a two-pack of the Spectre and Norman McKay if not another wave. I’d love to see those two and maybe Jade, Blue Beetle or Von Bach.
Chad asks: Any word of a animated version or another DC Direct Lobo in the works?
Julius says: You won’t be seeing an animated version of Lobo any time soon. Mattel has made the request of DC Comics several times to be able to make "the main man" as part of the Justice League Unlimited line and each time the answer has come back from DC that they don’t want to market that character to kids…even though Lobo has appeared on the show… which is marketed to kids. Yeah, I don’t get it either. I haven’t heard and talk of DC Direct re-release or updated version.
