Golden Age Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson) Appreciation 2021

[QUOTE=seismic-2;5464851]Will Inza Nelson appear in the movie? Or is the in the tower, or dead, or what?[/QUOTE]

I'd love to see Inza! Some of my favorite Dr. Fate stories feature her under the helm. :)

Absolutely genius.

We don't know yet and there hasn't been any casting announcements.

Would be funny/interesting if they got one of Pierce's old co-stars to play Inza.

I'm not sure how many more Frigga appearances she's contracted for, but Rene Russo immediately came to mind when I read this.

Rene Russo is a good pick but most people associate her with Frigga now.

My first thought was Sophie Marceau. Second thought was Julianne Moore.

And indeed there should be an Inza... she is integral to Dr Fate.

Because I haven't seen Remington Steele yet. :P

I don't know how Stephanie Zimbalist would feel about being cast as Inza alongside Pierce Brosnan, because it was widely reported that they didn't get along very well towards the end of the series. But wouldn't she have made a nice Zatanna, back in the day!

There's a few Dr Fate figures on their way out soon. First is the higher end Mezo 1:12 Collective, which if you can still it at retail, will cost around $90USD, and is loaded with accessories and a light feature, along with multiple heads, etc. I'll post some photos of that below (personally I see it as more of a Hector Hall, but that's the beauty with these guys, they're whoever you want them to be). Then below that, I'll post what McFarlane Toys has just shown, an Injustice 2 Dr Fate. This will obviously be a lot cheaper, around the 20-25USD mark. No word on availability yet. A photo will follow.

Here's all his accessories. Note the extra portraits: [img] https://i.imgur.com/tmwYLRa.jpg[/img]

Here's the final part of the accessories, effects pieces, stand, etc. All up, a lotta stuff! [img]https://i.imgur.com/pVZgPEH.jpg [/img]

Finally we have the Mcfarlane figure. The image just got released today, I believe, and is all we have so far. Clearly his Injustice 2 look. [img] https://i.imgur.com/Q105pnC.jpg[/img]

Some of his costume designs are among the best I've seen in comics. Kent and Inza are both great characters I'd like to see more from.

Literally the most minor thing in the world, but the Mezco Dr Fate shows the presumably wrong Kent Nelson Dr Fate on the cover. Whoops!
