I can’t even count the number of action figure lines DC Direct does — most are based on existing storylines and/or after a particular creator’s designs and therefore some are much cooler than others, but for the most part they’re all fairly traditional figures. Which is why it’s so fresh when they do things like getting UDON to do character designs for their AME-COME line.

Now comes the vinyl, urban toy styles of UNI-FORMZ from Monster 5. The first two releases were Batman and Superman, naturally, and the third is GL. Take that Wonder Woman!

Don’t get me wrong, the 2 green ones are cool and all, but the “Power Glow” that was originally solicited would’ve been kind of a lame variant, especially seeing how that would make 3 green Green Lanterns.

But as I was updating Midtown’s site (for those who don’t know, I’m the webmaster for MidtownComics.com) I was very pleasantly surprised to find out they ended up taking a very different route with the third version.

Aside his two green buddies, this blue guy really pops! And donning the uniform of the Zen-like Blue Lanterns, the cocky Hal Jordan grin is even seemingly transformed into a big happy smile.

Like all the UNI-FORMZ, this rockin little dude is 8” tall. He’s scheduled for release in January 2010 and you can save 10% if you pre-order him now from Midtown.
