TOWER OF DARKNESS
Darkseid's Tower of Darkness was solicited to buyers at the 1986 Toy Fair
along with the Third Wave of figures. As is sometimes the case, the attention
in the line was waning and the price point of such a large playset was
too high, leaving not enough buyers to warrant production.
An excellent piece, the Tower of Darkness featured a rock throne, "Omega
Eyes", rotating cannons, front gate/prison cell, and trap door. The Tower
was featured in both the tie-in comic books and the animated series. It
is a shame that it was not made as it would have been a wonderful companion
set to the Hall of Justice.
This piece was one of the few made for display at Toy fair 1986, and was the property of David Reeves.
