In it the notorious Black Hand resurrects some deceased DC heroes using the power of the Black Lantern and a bastardized version of Green Lantern’s power ring.
While the series was running DC Direct released several series of Blackest Night 6-inch action figures.
Of those figures the Series 4 Black Lantern Firestorm is by far my favorite.
The figure is fully articulated and is one of the most frightening figures in the entire set. The skull-like head that is accented by translucent flames is a real shocker.
While the regular Firestorm has flaming hair the Blackest Night Black Lantern Firestorm has eerie translucent flames issuing from its skull eye sockets, gaping skull mouth and cascading over it forehead and back in stringy blue/white flames.
Strands of the flame flow over its right shoulder.
The figure comes dressed in white, black and silver.
The main torso is of black with a silver chest emblem, waist accents and a single band of silver on each leg ending at its knees.
The arms are covered by white fabric ending in black wrist gauntlets and off-white gloves with a Black Lantern ring on the figure’s left ring finger.
Full white knee boots complete the ensemble.
Articulation is cleverly hidden in the cloth’s wrinkles and folds and the shoulder swivels are invisible under the flared shoulder pads.
Paint application is accurate, clean and slightly multi-shaded on the figure’s face and cloth folds.
A base is included with the Black Lantern logo. The figure comes in a bubble package that can hung or can sit on a shelf and the figure is cradled in a protective cocoon and visible behind a clear plastic shell.
It’s a frightening figure made even more so by the flaming skull and skeletal like appearance.
