Random Wax: 2023 Kayou DC Glory of the Universe Collection (Green Lantern)

2023 Glory of the Universe:  We'll kick this one off with Harley Quinn.  A favorite of mine in the DC Universe, you just have to ignore the Birds of Prey movie.  Fun look on this card.  She has many different outfits in DC and they did a good job picking this one.
Again, I'm a big fan of these.  I really like the art and design on the cards.  They do a really good job on the backgrounds and colors to make it work.
This is one of the Plot cards that are seen across different DC movies.  I like them as we get to see screen grabs of the movies.  The movie name could have been a bit smaller or they could have just gone with the movie logo.
Here, we've got two Storyboard and a Rally card.  As a reminder the Rally set has members of the Justice League and the words in the bottom right spell out "You Can't Save The World Alone" when you have all six cards.  I dig it.
I love the look of Katana in the original Suicide movie.  As a reminder there are multiple "sets within the set".  Information on Kayou, a licensed Chinese product, is so hard to find but I did find a good checklist here.
The aptly named Super Cute cards.  These are so different from the rest of the cards, but I really like them.
I still need to watch the second Shazam movie.  I know the reviews weren't that good, but I do need to watch it since I enjoyed this one.
Storyboard cards come in horizontal and vertical offerings.  I really like these.  Simple samplings of comic book offerings.
These Cinephile cards look great.  I'll try to finish this set as well.
I'll really miss Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.  Henry Cavill was also excellent as Superman, but I think Gadot was my favorite of that era of DC films and thought she nailed the character.
This is the Group Portrait oversized card.  This is one of my favorites which includes favorites like GL, Jade, Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Firestorm.  They just call this one "Justice League" though we definitely get a lineup that isn't the norm.
Since originally purchasing these boxes, I've picked off singles to finish the character set.  I'm still figuring how far I want to go with the rest of the sets within the set.  The singles aren't cheap.  I'll keep sharing the different boxes I've purchased over time.  I really like these and enjoy showing them off.

  1. Didn't know about these, thanks for sharing! The second Shazam movie wasn't that bad. Better than the second Wonder Woman movie.

  2. Just watched an episode of Arrow with Katana in it and discovered the actress is Japanese. Sent me researching her character. Pretty cool.
