I want to thank everyone on the forum who supported the collection - from the members to the staff members
Well that bites. Just got "Gold" from Metal Men and looks like the set won't be completed.

That was obvious right from the start.

Otherwise, you would have seen a Metal Men figurine a long time ago.

That seemed to be a major problem with Swamp-Thing. I thought resin was suppose to be better than lead, but I guess not.

And here we are, the very last scoop of the DC collection! Kid Flash:



Looks like this collection went out with a New 52 whimper.

Thanks DC for ruining 30 years of comic book reading for me.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

A good sculpt and a graceful exit by Eaglemoss. But leave it to DC to screw up the last one. The only reason I wanted (and voted for) Kid Flash was his cool costume...this is NOT it.

That's dumb, why release this costume?? Just for that, I'm glad this series is cancelled.

No, I'm not but I am disappointed they went with this costume, saved myself a few bucks I guess.

DC probably had a hand in deciding the costume. It isn't the first time they stepped in and insist on using a modern costume in this collection.

DC is all about the DCnU now. They don't care that they have chased away many of their readers who have been with them for 30 years.

DC is going to shove the DCnU down peoples throats even if it means DC comics could end up going out of business. DC is always right, and they will continue to think it until their doors are finally closed. Even then they will probably still think they are right.
