2001 DC Direct Red Tornado and Martian Manhunter action figure promotional poster

I had a very busy day, but also felt like I rested up after, and felt a swell of energy going into the night. I spent it replying to the Fanholes Podcast's final episode covering the "Titans Hunt" story arc. During that effort, I began to feel quite unwell, and at times thought that I may vomit. This was no fault of the Fanholes (the language is saucy, if you're the easily offended type,) but it did much diminish any ambitions that I had here. I also wasted a bunch of time trying to find a New Titans tie-in appearance, but that well was very dry, pre-Miss Martian.

Anyway, here's a comic store poster advertizing a Martian Marvel action figure that I ordered for my shop and have lovingly kept with me ever since. I don't adore it as much as my childhood Super Powers or my adult Hasbro JLA 9" Doll (I own at least 3, two boxed,) but it's higher than 1998 Hasbro. Yes, even with DC Direct's very McFarlanesque tendency to break at joints with the slightest provocation (multiple immobilizing knee surgeries.) I probably hung this one in my store, but not definitely. I don't seem to have kept a copy. Sorry that they of course had to feature him with "The Usurper" (though I've softened on Reddy over the years. By the way, some dude is on eBay selling "mini-posters" that are just pages of ripped out of the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con International program book, featured in our own art gallery.
