A.R.Ms # 20: DC Direct, Re-Activated, Lobo

The Main Man, The 'Bo, Master Frag, Mister Machete, Scourge o' the Cosmos, The Ultimate Bastich...Lobo. You WANT to hate him but let's face it. You need your daily dose of anti-hero character. So you turn to Lobo. If you want a 'boy-scout' (as he calls it), you turn to Superman.

I've been a huge fan since I first read an issue of Lobo: Infanticide 16 years ago. Yes, 16 years ago. Despite being rude and self centered he does have his moments. Like destroying his home planet by releasing a plague that killed of his people...just for fun. So now he's has self-proclaimed himself to be the no. 1 bounty hunter in the galaxy. And he'll kill or 'frag' anyone that stands between him and his mark. Except of course, space dolphins.

Packaging

The packaging is standard or in other words boring. I kinda like the packaging for the DC Direct Justice League. This just seems to waste a lot of space. I know they did a limited edition of Lobo and Dawg which is much better.

Detail/Sculpt

The scuplt tries to stay true to the comic character. The hair, the clothes are spot on. At the end of the day its the small details that counts.

The hook & chain, the Main Man's trademark

Cool belt buckle

I was hoping these would be removable but sadly they're not

Pricing

The reactivated series is very much available in online stores. Price ranges from USD 8 to 17. This was issued in 2006 so I'm sure there is a lot of people selling them on ebay.
