![]() When Superman returned from his self-imposed exile at the Fortress of Solitude, his reformed Justice League recruited Grayson in his new role as Red Robin to serve as warden for their new super-human prison. While her mother eventually separated from her father and passed away years earlier from an illness, her father remained a heroic figure in the world. Mar'i Grayson is the daughter of her world's Nightwing and Starfire, and possessed the powers and the temperament of her mother. ![]() One of the most prominent of the heroes introduced in this reality was Nightstar. ![]() Now regarded as Earth-22, this was a world where the old guard got older and new generations rose up to take their place in the world as heroes and villains in their own right. This set wouldn’t look the slightest bit out of place with the most recent wave of Marvel Minimates, and that’s quite astonishing.īlack Action Figure Tags 00s 80s 90s Aliens All Time Toys A New Hope Autobots Avengers Avengers: Age of Ultron Bandai Batman Batman: The Animated Series Build a Figure Captain America Christmas Reviews Classified Series Clone Trooper Clone Wars Cyclops DC DC Collectibles DC Direct DC Universe Classics Diamond Select Toys Excised Fantastic Four Funko G.I.The world of Kingdom Come - created by Mark Waid and Alex Ross teased a potential future for the figureheads of the DC Universe. Looking at this set in comparison to the two second series sets I’ve looked at previously is quite neat, as it really shows how far the line advanced in its short run. I recall being fairly excited for this set, as I was a fan of both characters at the time. Like the rest of the DC Minimates line, I picked up this two pack as soon as it was available at my local comic book store. Star included no accessories, but I can’t think of many they could have given her. Star’s paint is more impressive than Nightwing’s, with lots of great little details, particularly on her torso an boots, which have some really great texture work. It’s a nice piece, with plenty of nice details, and it’s pretty spot on to what Star’s hair looked like in the comics. It’s a bit more of a substantial piece than Nightwing’s, though also a bit more character specific. She also only features a single sculpted piece: her hair. Like Nightwing, she’s built on the typical body, so she has all the usual stats. Star is based on her original Perez design, which is the look she’s sported for most of her career. Grayson, but she still was lucky enough to make it into the line, which is better than many prominent DC characters. Nightwing included two silver fighting sticks, though I misplaced mine at the time I took the photo. All of the paint is excellent, with lots of sharp lines, and pretty much no slop of any kind. The rest of the figure’s detail is done with paint work. It’s a very nice piece, and has been reused a few times in the Marvel line, like on the recent Winter Soldier. He features one sculpted piece: his hair. Nightwing is built on the basic Minimate body, which means he has the standard 14 points of articulation and stands about 2 ½ inches tall. This one depicts him in his most recent Nightwing costume at the time. This two pack was released in the 7 th wave of DC Minimates, just one wave before the end of the line.ĭick Grayson actually lucked out quite a bit with DC Minimates, receiving a whole two figures. ![]() But, let’s not get stuck on what we didn’t get, let’s look at what we did: Nightwing and Starfire. This set comes from the Teen Titans side of the DCU, which was sadly never completed. This time around, it’s a set from closer towards the end of the line. Hey, let’s take another look at some Minimates, shall we?įor a fourth time, I’m taking a look at the far too shortly lived DC Minimates.
