Rudo Deathstroke Figure from DC Collectibles' ¡Lucha Explosiva! Line

¡LUCHAAAAAA! Coming late this summer, to a cuadrilátero near you, the following trios match is scheduled for 2 out of 3 falls and is sanctioned by DC Collectibles! Announced on February 15, 2019, DC Collectibles will introduce its new ¡Lucha Explosiva! action figure line at the American International Toy Fair in New York. This figure line takes a select group of DC Comics' heroes and villains and reinterprets them as dynamic and high-flying luchadores and luchadoras. There will be six figures to launch ¡Lucha Explosiva!; a trio of Técnicos (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) versus a trio of Rudos (Deathstroke, the Cheetah, and Metallo II). But the Técnicos had better watch out as Deathstroke (pictured below) has brought with him a deadly equalizer in the form of a dreaded (and suspiciously ubiquitous) steel chair. Unfortunately, a "main event" lucha of this caliber requires a bit of time to properly promote so we'll have to wait until August of 2019 to partake in all the glorious sports entertainment carnage that is the ¡Lucha Explosiva! line of figures.
