href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/tag\/blue-devil\/\">Blue Devil<\/a> DC Direct action figure a couple weeks ago, but this is the first chance I&#8217;ve had to write about it.\u00a0 The figure looks great!\u00a0 Below you&#8217;ve got a picture of the Blue Devil packaging.\u00a0 This figure is part of the <em>History of the DC Universe<\/em> series of figures, all based upon George Perez artwork.\u00a0 While Perez is a master artist, it would have been nice if the figure had been based on the Paris Cullins drawings.\u00a0 Oh well, I guess I should just be happy that we got a new Blue Devil figure at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DC Direct Blue Devil figure on card\"

package.\u00a0 Of course I took him out of the package.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not a collector of toys, I&#8217;m a guy who wants to play with his toys.\u00a0 The details and colors on this figure are really great; the horns, the earring, the devil design on the outfit, the goatee, etc.\u00a0 I especially love the trident.\u00a0 They did a really good job getting the trident&#8217;s shape correct.\u00a0 The only disappointing aspect of the figure are the red eyes.\u00a0 While I&#8217;m sure Blue Devil had red eyes at some point or another, his eyes were a normal white for 99.9% of his appearances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DC Direct Blue Devil action figure\" src=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/images\/blue_devil_fig2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, the back of the package had little blurbs on each figure in the series.\u00a0 Below is the blurb about Blue Devil:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DC Direct Blue Devil

the DC Direct Blue Devil figure in your local comic shop.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3
