When I first started collecting action figures as an adult in the early 2000s, it coincided with me starting to collect comics again after a 5 year hiatus. I was in a new city with several comic shops (all my hometown ones had closed in the 90s), and those new stores were teeming with action figures from DC Direct. DCD had started just a few years earlier so I had never before seen the merging of toys and comics in one store like that. I bought a lot of these toys over the next few years. But these Silver Age Deluxe Box Sets were just too pricey for me at the time. I favored Batman over Superman and I preferred costumed heroes over civilians, so it took me twenty years to finally pick up this Lois set. Which is a shame because because this figure is gorgeous. Despite being a bit pre-posed and having sculpted-in accessories, the Tim Bruckner sculpt perfectly captures that Silver Age aesthetic. I know most people love her modern purple blazer, but these vintage browns will always be my favorite. Let's check out Lois below!
Lois Lane's only accessory is her green purse.
Her pencil and notepad are glued and painted into her hands.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Lois with her boyfriend Superman. These are the two figure in the Silver Age set.
And here are my three classic Lois Lane items:
DC Direct Silver Age figure (2001), DC Direct Fleischer Maquette (2004), and Mezco 5 Points (2024).
And here is Lois with her Lois Lane as Superwoman figure from 2006.
Cheers!
