Last year when Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo released their mini-series Dark Nights: Metal upon the world, one of the biggest standouts was the brand new Batman Who Laughs character. The character is like a mix between Batman and the Joker and looks like it came from the Hellraiser universe, rather than the DC Universe.
Not only is the Batman Who Laughs getting its own stand-alone comic book series at the end of the year, but he’s also getting the legendary Pop! treatment in the new year, exclusively to Previews (PX) vendors. I think this is one of the best Pop! figures ever created, and is definitely a must buy!
Also available a few months later is an awesome Pop! that brings less of the creepy and more of the occult. Constantine will be another PX (Previews) Exclusive that will also be exclusive to Free Comic Book Day on May 4th. This Pop! is another must buy, it definitely captures the character well. Now with Constantine being made, here’s hoping we get more of the Justice League Dark like Zatanna, Deadman, Madame Xanadu, and definitely more Swamp Thing!
If Marvel is more your thing, than these two Guardians of the Galaxy Pop! figures might suit your fancy. Funko finally gave die-hard Guardians fans what they wanted and put Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon in their comics-accurate suits. Rocket Raccoon is already hitting stores and is limited to 25,000 pieces, while Star-Lord will be exclusive to Halloween Comicfest on October 27th and is limited to 20,000 pieces. Both are PX Exclusives.
If you’re scratching your head wondering what PX or Previews exclusives are, basically they’re exclusive to stores that order from the Previews Catalogues. The most common example of this is comic book stores. For Pop! figures like Batman Who Laughs and Constantine, it might be best to contact your local comic book store and preorder as these will be popular.
