"I think it's a sure thing that we'll see a Martian Manhunter in the DC Universe Classics line within the next year. However, it's a long shot that we'll ever get a Zook. I've wanted a representation of the little guy for some time, but where to begin on a custom had me somewhat stumped. Then one day I saw a Ben 10 figure on the pegs at Target. The scale and body sculpt jumped out at me--this was my chance for a Zook! Now my Martian Manhunter isn't lonely anymore....
I had to modify the body somewhat; a little dremeling here, a little Aves there. The head is an original sculpt, of course. If I had the chance to do it over, I would make the forehead more pronounced. That's something I missed. But I'm just glad I've finally got the li'l fella."
Obviously it makes me very happy that this exists, and you should check out the
head shot

J'Onn & Zook together pictures!

I really like this. I am not sure where J'Onn is going in the new continuity. He does seem colder, harsher and more manipulative but there have been signs that he does care about people, at least those who are his associates. I doubt that Zook would fit into the new continuity, but maybe in one of the alternate lines?
We all need more Zook in our lives. May he bring a bag of Oreos with him.
Zook would be a welcome counter point to a New 52 that seems to be a very dark place.
One thing J'onn should never be is manipulative. I'm going to pretend this is some alternate universe or something.
Yes!! Oreos would be nice!
And this figure is pretty awesome. I'll take Zook and JLI J'onn over New 52 solo Martian Manhunter any day!
