A.R.Ms # 28 : DC Direct, Black Canary

The Black Canary. The Blonde Bombshell. What more can we say? DC comics made one helluva lady. Clad in a leather jacket and fishnet stockings she is one of the undisputed powerhouse of the DC universe. She possesses a power called "Canary Cry" which is a high-pitched sonic scream. Yet her reputation does not come from that. Instead its her martial arts skills which some say even surpasses the Batman.

As a member of the J.L.A she proved that, not only is she "easy on the eyes" but also she is one of their best leader. This figure is part of the DC Direct, Justice League of America Series 1.

Detail/Sculpt

Ain't she gorgeous? Though she does have that Japanese Anime look.

C'mon now...what were you looking at??

Somehow she kinds of remind me of Pam in that crap movie Barbwire

Articulation

• Ball jointed neck
• Swivel shoulders
• Hinged elbows
• Swivel wrists
• Swivel legs
• Hinged knees

A bit disappointing in the articulation section. I would have liked to see this figure to have more articulation especially in the shoulders and waist. Though I can understand why the makers decided not put them in. A swivel waist would ruin the 'sexy' look of her suit. But a ball jointed shoulder could've made a huge improvement in posing options.

Pricing

This figure is very hard to find nowadays. It would definitely be sold out in the normal stores or comic shops. Your best bet is online. Amazon is listing this starting from USD 45. Series 1 contains a set of 5 individual figures. They were Superman, Red Arrow, Black Lightning and Vixen.

Currently Series 2 and 3 is still available from these sellers:

Heroes in a box

Justice League of America Series 2 Action Figure Set

Entertainment Earth
Justice League America Series 3 Action Figure Set

I must admit that I'm not into all the figures from each series. I'm also guessing Series 3 is the most popular because 3 out the 4 figures is highly sought after. I've gotten Wonder Woman and G.L. from Series 3. Hopefully, I can get the Flash and do the review soon. So till next time, don't forget that A.R.Ms is moving to a new blog. Cheers.
