Taking its name from the supplement to the slipcase edition of Kingdom Come, comes a new set of figures that mixes well known characters with some very obscure ones; this means hardcore Kingdom Come fans will be really happy this year.

When we asked why they were making such obscure characters, a DC Direct spokesperson said this about the line: "This set is aimed to collectors, we are aware there aren't a lot of little kids out there waiting for a Norman McCay or a Spartian figure, but we know serious collectors will really appreciate this characters have a chance to see the light as action figures; if these ones sell well we'll maybe be able to release some other KC figures in the near future."

They say future lines may include Bat-Knight, Robotman III, Blackhawk pilot, Alloy (the metal man), The Pepperguard and The Spectre.

Here is a little background on this characters if you don't know them. It's the text from behind the figures package:
