Mighty Thanos & A Host Of New DC Heroes From Knight Models!
November 12, 2014 by brennon
Knight Models have released more than the rather odd choice of Speedy this month. As well as this partner to Green Arrow we have the coming of Black Canary and Lobo for DC and in the Marvel camp it's the mighty Thanos himself...
So not only do you have the cap wearing sidekick to Green Arrow but also the sonic screaming Black Canary who in true DC and Gotham style doesn't have much in the way of super powers but she's a mean martial artist much like Batman. Lobo is rather awesome though and takes the prize for coolest sculpt of the month I reckon. As an alien bounty hunter and mercenary I don't suppose you can get much of an off the wall challenge for Batman.
On the Marvel side of things we have their sculpt of Thanos who is quite the talking point considering his appearance in The Avengers films and more besides. The stance he's been sculpted in would be perfect for tweaking into an Infinity Gauntlet pose actually if you wanted to give him more of a movie look. Might want to lose the blue and yellow too!
In terms of scenery the Knight Models crew have also put together a few more interesting packs. Not only do you have some Dumpsters and Construction Scatter Terrain to hide behind while gunfire rattles off the walls but also a cool Gargoyle for Batman to perch on looking all moody.
What will you be getting?

I have already stated before that I am nit fan of that baseball cap wearing Speedy. How ever both Black Canary and Lobo do look really nice and that Thanos is rather nice as well.
What does Lobo have to do with batman ? Geniuine question 🙂
Well they are in same universe and in comic books characters from same universe tend to interact with each other. So it’s no weird that Batman would interact some way with Lobo at some point. Maybe there is enemy that forces them to work together or maybe Batman just ends up fighting Lobo. Or Lobo just might arrive and say hi to Batman. Nolan’s movies are not everything when it comes to Batman.
I’m pretty sure there was a Lobo/Batman crossover in One Year Later. Which on its own is more interaction than there’s been between Batman and the characters from Watchmen and they are in the BMG.
I thought Lobo was an original Simon Bisley character, just like FAKK2 would be .. learn something new everyday 🙂
He was created by Keith Giffen and was a part of the regular DC universe. Even the reboot that Bisley drew was a Giffen story.
There was from memory a Lobo/Superman crossover where Superman pretended to be dead so Lobo would stop beating him up
Give it time and Lego the movie heroes will be in this game 😉
Black Canary has massive superpowers , the Canary Cry , sonic boom she can shout out , and one of the best martial artists in the cd universe , superb model as well.
Even when Black Canary lost her super power, her martial arts made her fully capable to go toe-to-toe with actual super-powered beings.
DC actually at one point straight out said that she was the third most dangerous non-powered human, in the DC universe, behind Lady Shiva and Talia Al Ghul.
Batman isn’t even on the top 10! (although his gear does give him some help)
So far so good on the Birds of prey 🙂
Oh they actually made a Birds of prey pack.
Too bad it is Batgirl instead of Oracle, but I’ll take it!
