Depends on your definition of "costume", I guess. Dr. Occult did wear a colorful costume in one of his adventures; not sure if it pre-dated Crimson Avenger or not. And it's generous to call C.A.'s early outfit a "costume", isn't it?

Well, like many other early "heroic" characters, it was kind of a rip-off of The Shadow's outfit.

Like this obscure gent that Marvel recently revived after him having just the one Golden Age appearance (in Daring mystery Comics #3):

The Phantom Reporter

I think the early Crimson Avenger was more blatantly a rip-off of the Green Hornet. The "colorful" name, the crusading young newspaper publisher identity, the Asian chauffeur/sidekick...it's a wonder they didn't get sued. Later on they wisely decided to make him a blatant rip-off of one of their own properties, Batman.

Very good points about the character.

I was referring to the costume here, though...

Oddly, I'm wondering if there was a printed image of Green Hornet during the days of the radio serial which started in 1936. His first movie was 1940 as was his first comic book. However Crimson Avenger first visual appearance was 1938.

Of course, they both are too close to the Shadow who had a pulp in 1930.

There's also The Spider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider) who (I think) was the first direct Shadow copy/competitor. He wore the suit/cape/hat/mask combo too, although he also occasionally didn't wear an mask and had fangs.

boneyard!!! time to update your list!!! Black Alice! Sargon the Sorcerer! Golden Age Mr Terrific (not a duo with Atom)! Isis! Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott! Star Sapphire! regular Sinestro! Scar! Ganthet! Indigo-1! St Walker! Beast Boy! Beast Boy as Dino (AE mechanic)! Detective Chimp!

Most of those sound pretty good!

Those sound really good. With the possible exception of Sinestro, none of those that aren't due for a figure or at least a good remake. Not sure whether I'm more excited about Mr. Terrific or about Sargon. Probably Sargon.

C'mon #41, If Wizkids loved me, they'd show me a peek at #41!

From where are these new reveals coming???

The list has been updated, and it looks real perty!

The updates are coming from... oh, just look at every other DC75 thread in the Rumors forum. There was a trade show of some sort and they took pictures of the displays. PERTY! *giggles like schoolgirl* WANT!

Also, some mutant stuff from that other company. Whatever.

Oh, and Boneyard, we have at least a weak rumor that there will be more Beast Boys than the "human" and Tyrannosaur figures.

2 Things oh great Boneyard. Ocean master was confirmed and Owlman can be taken off the highly rumored list. The reason he was rumored was people saw the Batman sculpt and thought it was Owlman

Also, it looks like the White Lanterns have their own separate numbering, so they appear to actually be in addition to the 60 figure set and Sinestro (#100)...

If that's the case, it'll free up some room for figures I was afraid would get bumped, like a much needed Catwoman, Max Lord and some more JSAers and silver age characters (Captain Comet, please!!!!)

I know it's not going to happen in this set, but am I the only one who desperately wants King Faraday, Nemesis (Tom Tresser) and Sasha Bordeaux?
