Dr. Fate DC Superhero Figure : Real or Fake?

Am image of a very believable Dr. Fate DC Imaginext figure has popped up. My first encounter of it was on the Facebook group, Imaginext Generation.  For those of you who are members, you can check out the post here.  New comers to the group will have to join first.

My personal take on it is that it IS REAL. Aside from wishful thinking that fact that we are seeing a Black Lighting accessory recast in translucent yellow means that we have something authentic OR a very good customizer.  However, if said crafter was that perfect with his prop, I would think he would have taken greater care in cutting the cape, cleaning up paint lines and glue marks.

The eyes also seem to have the pad printed quality, which can also be done by custom aficionados, but not everyone has access to a pad printer.  Of course, the photo quality is not crystal clear and the eyes could be meticulously hand painted, or even edited in Photoshop after the fact.

All these things considered, I would say we are looking at an authentic, soon to be in stores, figure.

MyGrodd founder and Editor-In-Chief. Joe Manzo, has been playing with toys and reading comics for as long as he can remember. His earliest collection was Masters of the Universe, which he shared with his classmates at show & tell. Early on he enjoyed collecting and sharing toys, but the latter resulted in many lost parts. So, today he continues to share his love of toys through reviews and articles. Joe has created many fan websites & forums for toys and comics, some of which have lead to wonderful connections. After college, Joe created NYBugle.com which was a Daily Bugle website that summarized all the adventures in the Ultimate Marvel Universe. This got the attention of Brian Michael Bendis, who reached out to Joe, which resulted in interviews with Bendis, Quesada, Bagley, Millar and more. Some of the old site can be found on archive.org. The next fan milestone for Joe came in 2005, when Star Wars Episode III was released. He was playing and collecting Attacktix, and wrote a tips & strategy blog for the new game. He was contacted by the game's creator, Hasbro's Brian Wilk, and was able to "leak" game news to the growing fan base. JoeAttacktix.com was the go-to resource for Attacktix fans, and eventually landed Joe with his first (and only) paid job in the toy industry. Inspired by these connections, Joe continues to create fan pages for his toy interests. Once his daughter was born, he began to collect Imaginext superheroes "for her." MyGrodd.com is the result of that current collection, and with the recent announcement of Masters of the Universe Imaginext, it seems like there is no end in sight.
