We had Marvel and Star Wars, we need one for DC fans! Discussion about all the latest toys, comics, and more happening with the DC Universe!

[The Superfly]

New DC stuff at Toy Fair - new 3 3/4 line called Infinite Heroes:

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/021708nytfdcuniverse.html

They also showed two figures from wave 4 of DC Universe Classics - Wonder Woman & Cyborg.

[Shin Densetsu]

I hear the Infinite Heroes line hasn't had all the articulation sculpted in yet, so heres hoping we at least get gijoe type articulation. It looks very promising so far, I mean a Commissioner Gordon pack with GCPD? BLACK ADAM!????!!!!!!.


NO MORE FACES PSYCHO PIRATE!! YES!!!


Hey btw, did any of you guys realize that this means MATTEL CAN MAKE SHAZAM NOW?!!!

Mattel is definitely getting on the ball with collectors now. Thankfully after all these years. If they can put in the same effort with He-Man, that franchise will finally not only thrive, but SURVIVE!

Gijoe, Hellboy, DC, Star Wars,....3-3/4" rules!

[The Superfly]

Reagrding the Infinite Heroes line, this was from Mattel at AFI:

Glad to see so many fans excited about the new Infinite Heroes line! We've had this one cooked up for a while now and are very please to finally reveal it to the fans.

This line will be a 3 3/4 scale line. Some of the figures you see on display are prototypes only. (and not all have the articulation built in yet) The exact figures which will be in wave 1 and 2 of Infinite Heroes will also be revealed at NY Comic Con.

[flash70]

Those look sweet...lets hope mattel does a better job of distribution...wait its mattel they don't care about collector's all they care about is hotwheel dorks and barbie blah.

Oh' well just like the Justice league line...these really nice figures will tank...I hope not but its mattel.

JLU is exclusive to Target starting this fall, and the hard to find figures are returning, while Batman and Flash and whatnot will still be packed, they will not be overly packed like before. The New Gods and a bunch of other guys are coming out. DCUC is already geared towards collectors, so I think they are finally going in the right direction. Once JLU goes Target, its a collector orientated line from there on out.

[The Superfly]

Shin is right, the JLU news from ToyFare mag:

JLU will be Target exclusive starting this summer, and a New Gods 6 pack is coming with three new characters in it: Forager, Mantis and Lashina along with Mr. Miracle, Superman and Darkseid.

JLU Question is coming too, along with at least 12 new characters. Also some fan-requested repaints and redecos are due in the fall.

2009 will likely see a slew of animated style characters that were not on JLU along with the possibility of characters from former Timm-verse shows.

Guys I want to beleive but they said the same thing about masters of the universe and the batman line last year and the stuff was never to be seen at retail...I heard all the same stuff from these matttel people buts its just sad the way they run the company...true greed never considering a collector...unlike Hasbro who in the past 5 years has brought out some excellant product and pushed into the market liek a bat out of hell.

Mattel should learn from them if they want a strong market in the action figure aisles.

[salaciouscray31]

I want that Wonder Woman Statue from DC Direct!

[Irid70]

Is there any word on release dates for the Infinite Heroes (3 3/4 inch) line? I haven't been able to find any.

[The Superfly]

Infinite Heroes will be out towards the end of summer, and the cost is 5.99 for singles, 15.99 for 3 packs.

Regarding JLU, Mattel posted this today:

Due to overwhelming support from the fans, Mattel and Target are teaming up to bring an all new Collector’s Line to store shelves starting this August!

16 brand new figures along with collector requested repaints and reissues will be available in singles,3-packs and 6 packs. Figures will be out in two waves. Each wave will consist of two 6-packs, two 3 packs and five single carded figures,some with brand new accessories. This line will be sold exclusively at Target stores starting Aug 1, 2008. At this time the line will be an in store exclusive only.

Wave 1 will be revealed at New York Comic Con in April and Wave 2 will be shown at Comic Con San Diego in July.

There may be a few other JLU surprises this year as well. But fans will just have to wait for the summer conventions to find out what!

[Irid70]

Thanks.

[Shin Densetsu]

Superfly, have you gotten any any answers as to whether or not the Infinite Heroes line will have ball jointed hips? All the other 3-3/4" comic-based lines have ball jointed hips.

[The Superfly]

New DCUC figure sneak peeks were revealed this week at AFI:

Lightray: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=576

More new stuff will be revealed on Saturday from the NYCC, including the next two waves of DCUC, the first wave of new JLU figures, the official first wave of the Infinite Heroes figures and the SDCC exclusives. :)

[Shin Densetsu]

Superfly, thanks for the scoop! Any news on if IH will use ball jointed hips?

[karamazov80]

Nevermind, posted before doing my homework :)

[The Superfly]

re: the hips - we will know for sure on Saturday when they show the figures. Check on AFI throughout the day, and I'll probably post news here too.

[MAJOR WOLF]

I hope they make a Flash and Captain Cold soon...

[spacemonkeymafia]

Is this the 4 inch line?

[bram1216]

I'm waiting for the ame-comi Wonder woman.It looks freakin awesome.Also have been on the look out for the dc direct afro samauri stuff.

Possibility of more non-JLU characters in 2009, but not 2008. Trying to do more pack-in accessories like Wonder Pig.

[MAJOR WOLF]

Everything is looking Great for Mattel. Really hope they make a FLASH to go with GRODD soon.

[Compulsive Collector]

The character choices for JLU are definitely interesting. I don't say that in a negative way, as I look forward to all of them, but there are a couple of curious selections.

[Gulfster]

This isn't toy news but it is DC news. They are coming out with a Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. Here's a link

[kndy]

I haven't purchased these since wave two about three years ago but saw the Wonder Woman wave and Artemis looks awesome. I'm guessing she's a single pack?? She's not on the back of the box. Artemis looks much better than the DC Direct one I have. Wonder Woman is ok....still feel the best was the Justice League DC Direct. But definitely the best Artemis.... I haven't bought any toyline outside of GI Joe for years (well, I buy Transformers Animated for my son as incentives for good grades). But cool figure!

[morgana08]

I believe Artemis is what's called a chase figure. It's harder to find as they're not packed equally in cases or something to that effect.

I do agree that she looks very good from the ones I've seen on E-bay.

[jbowman]

yeah,, Artemis is the very hard to find figure out of this wave, sold 2 at $35 a pop.. Wonder woman isnt that hard to find, she is packed either 2 or 1 depending on the case she is shipping in, same with the batman beyond figure. Artemis is great trade bait.

[Syn3sthesia]

She is cool man! Batman Beyond is cool as well!

[solo0525]

Yeah that batman beyond looks nice .. I want to get him .... my fav is black manta ..

[Syn3sthesia]

The Ares from DCU kicks butt compared to the one from the Marvel Legends one. Did not know who he was but his design/sculpt and colors made me purchase him too.

[solo0525]

Yeah way better then marvel legends .. this line is awesome the deathstroke variant is pretty cool too

[kndy]

Oh crap...I better go back to Target and get the Artemis then...hehe... the reason I didn't get it is because is missing some pain in her ab region....looks like a scratch or something.

[Syn3sthesia]

Yeah way better then marvel legends .. this line is awesome the deathstroke variant is pretty cool too

That's another winner too! I need to see him again and I will get him this time.

[morgana08]

I want to find the regular Deathstroke. I lucked into the variant as my comic shop owner didn't know he was the variant.

[kndy]

Man...I saw both the variant and regular Deathstrokes several times. Never picked them up because I quit buying DC Universe a few years ago. I don't think many people in my area collect them.

[Scoop]

I still need the classic version of Aquaman with the short hair and Harley Quinn. Both are from Wave 2 which is now shipping again in a revision case, but I can't find any at the stores.

Someone please hook me up!

[morgana08]

I never saw Aquaman ever in a store but would love to. I did see harley once last winter at a Kroger store but didn't pick her up cause I wasn't getting the line then. Finding these things retail is a huge pain.

[Shogi]

I saw about 3 Deathstrokes today. I have Batman Beyond and I'm thinking about trying to get the unmasked version, but that'll probably be it for me from this line

[Dawg99]

i want to get dr fate both versions

[morgana08]

I haven't seen future wave pics yet so know who I may want, except for Kid Flash. By the time I see another wave at retail maybe I'll have found a masked Deathstroke.

[Lantern_Lad]

Wow... that's mesmerizing...

Not a big fan of the Batman Beyond masked figure, but the Terry McGuiness figure if awesome! Saw it at Frank & Son's, but the guy wanted $30 for it.

Picked up multiples of the Deathstroke variant the other day... that is a sweet figure. Far better than the DCD version.

Whoah...I guess I didn't collect DC Universe...the one I stopped collecting is the one with the Doomsday and Supergirl in black costume. I did dig the two Batmans that were released...and that Batgirl. Batman was cool though..

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2842381009_91e11aa420.jpg?v=0

But looking at this DC Universe...for wave 4, I just saw Captain Atom...variant. That's the one I saw at the store...he was all gold. Is that hard to find? I would rather have the silver one.

Aww...man, looks like a lot of good figures came out on DC Universe. And to have them with better articulation than what I own for DC Direct is a plus! Achh...I want the Abin Sur and Green Lantern Hal Jordan...would fit into my GL collection!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2842360206_8de8e260a4.jpg?v=0

But the last thing I need is to get back into these lines...I'm spending so much on GI Joe as it is. The last thing I need is to go gung-ho and start hunting for all these DC universe lines...or else, it'll be like the Marvel Legends addiction I had several years ago....

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2673018983_5683d15303_b.jpg

[Shogi]

$30??? My gosh...I've seen this one in the stores many times at Wal-Mart with many Cyborgs.

I thought the Terry McGinnis "Unmasked Batman Beyond" was a Kay Bee Exclusive?

Or were you seeing a normal Batman Beyond?

[kndy]

I thought the Terry McGinnis "Unmasked Batman Beyond" was a Kay Bee Exclusive?

I saw the regular masked one.... Ahh...so unmasked is only Kay Bee.... Unfortunately, they closed ours down earlier this year.

[Shogi]

I saw the regular masked one.... Ahh...so unmasked is only Kay Bee.... Unfortunately, they closed ours down earlier this year.

Yeah, I have to go over to the next two towns to find KB, the one here closed down too

[Syn3sthesia]

Never saw Wave 2 but did find a lot of W3 and W4s.

[RuckusJr]

My Despero's right arm wont lock in. otherwise I love these.

[kndy]

I went to a Wal-Mart about an hour from where I live and saw older waves...Red tornado, Metamorpho, Penguin, Riddlers, the Demon, Black Manta, etc. old stuff but surprised to see them at $11.99. Again, I've been out of collecting any super hero lines for three years but I remember these used to be priced competitively with Marvel Legends. I'm surprised those went up too. They used to cost the same price as GI Joe's at $7.99. Stuff gets expensive.

But from these older lines, any certain character to keep an eye out for. Just Aquaman and Harley Quinn?

[morgana08]

I know from those older ones that Aquaman and Harley have been said to be really hard to find.

I still see Red Tornado's at my Target.... though that's all that Target has ever had.

[Noizeindex]

With the exception of Wave 3, I've had a very difficult time finding any of these in retail. The sculpts are great but a lot of people have severe quality issues with the figs. Mine all look good but I haven't taken them out of the package yet...

[morgana08]

I never really paid much attention to the quality of these. I mean, those that I have all have the correct hand or foot on the correct limb.... I think. Dang, now I have to go look. Only trouble was my brother had a hard time getting Grundy's pieces to fit in the torso part. Other than that, so far so good.

[Syn3sthesia]

Have some of you actually spotted this Walmart exclusive Wave?

I hate Walmarts! the ones around me are bad when it comes to action figs.

[xcobrasoldierx]

all i want is the riddler then again there are no walmarts in nyc/ manhattan so me getting that figure would be impossible lol

[gyrapados]

All I've seen so far is the Riddler. I found 4-5 of him the other day at a Walmart.

[rob0213]

Haven't seen any of these. I really want them, I hate my Walmart. They never have anything!!

[DOC]

That's funny my walmart does not even have a DCU section let alone Exclusive figures form it...lol

[Scoop]

Not all of the Wal-Marts in my area carry DC Universe Classics. Only about 2 of them do. I haven't even seen the exclusive Wave 5 at either of those 2 stores.

I'm not that worried about it though because the only figure that I think I want in that wave is the Riddler. I would like to build Metallo but i'm not sure if I really want the other 4 figures in the wave.

By the way if anyone is on the lookout for the first 4 waves check your local Target for a sale there. I believe they will be only $8.99 until 2/9.

[prowl]

I got mine on eBay loose. I didn't want the Metallo figure (not my idea of his most iconic look) so buying them loose was great and saved me a ton of money. I can't believe what they're being sold for otherwise, though. Here in Canada, we don't get DCUC figures, period; therefore, eBay was actually pretty useful this time around.

[xcobrasoldierx]

lol that would be a funny thing to draw lol ill be back dun dun comes back with x acto knives and water guns to destroy everything in sight lol

i wish i knew someone near a walmart lucky you seen like 5 of em

[qwe]

we actually have one walmart here that has a ton of them,
the other three don't carry the line..
if any one is desperate let me know i would love to trade for a variant wraith..

[Shin-Gouki]

We have Wal-Marts coming out our rears here and I have not seen a single one.

[Syn3sthesia]

I only want Eradicator and am actually tempted to build Metallo. I've been looking for almost a month now and nothing.

[Shogi]

a little before X-mas, 1 Walmart near me litterally exploded with this wave! I swear there were at least 5 sets worth of the figures (Probably more) We still have over 10 of these figures (Majority of them are Riddler though)

Lucky.......

All mine exploded with were Wild Bills and Green Lanterns, lol.

[Shogi]

Lucky.......

All mine exploded with were Wild Bills and Green Lanterns, lol.

Not so lucky, The only DC line I collect is DC Infinate Heroes and I still can't find a friggin' Batman! However, the same Wal-Mart had the Spectre, Dr. Fate and Black Lightining from Infinate Heroes just the other day.

I did grab the DCU Batman Beyond though :D

I wish that was my case, they dont even have DCUC figs makes me wonder why give a store something special when they SUCK at putting it out?

[Noizeindex]

Can't find Wave 5, or 4 or 2 for that matter. I've seen more BAT's & Snow Serpents than I have DCU characters! All I'm looking for is a Riddler from W5 though...

[rob0213]

Keep hope alive man...Targets here got a lot of cases of W4 and W2.

[CobraCoffee]

DCU are hard to come by when you are actually looking for the, As soon as you stop..BAM! they refill the shelves.

I have a Terry Mcginnis Batman Beyond *unmasked!* from the Kaybee exclusive line. muahhahahaa Not only does this figure rank up there with the rarest, but Kay bee is gone! oh yea!

Trade for a clear wraith anyone? ;)

I hear ya on the McGinnis fig. Glad I got mine before they went down.

[soundwavempl]

On Christmas Eve, I hit about 8 Walmarts in the Bryan/College Station, Navasota, Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, and Humble areas of Texas. Only 1 Walmart had evidence of wave 5 DCUC. It was one of the Humble Walmarts and I got the only 2 figures they had: Amazo and Black Lightning. I think the only way I'll be able to get the rest of the wave 5 Walmart exclusive wave is if Mattel does a second production run or they start showing up again after wave 6 hits.

However, Targets in this my area are got wave 2.5 DCUC and I got wave 6 DCUC at a Walmart early this morning. I still need an Artemis from wave 4. The closest KB to me (which is 50 miles away in Conroe) only had wave 3 DCUC, so I wasn't able to get the KB wave 4 exclusives Batman Beyond and Cyborg.

I think with KB going out of business, Mattel needs to make those exclusives available on MattyCollector.com. Heck, I think all DCUC figures should be available to purchase on MattyCollector.

Say what you want to about Hasbro and HasbroToyShop, but Mattel shows how good a job Hasbro does in getting retail product to collectors.

[PREACHER007]

i have them which are you looking for?

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Seen it a few times, all at thew same Walmart. So it's really only set for sales at certain stores and not others. Haven't bought any, I didn't need any from this wave and nether did my brother.

[MrClean]

Only one of our Walmarts here carried them, but they put out at least 50 cases all at once. all that's left now are Riddlers.

[Cavbeast]

I'm glad i'm not the only one having problems with this wave...(well that and Ares Walmart wave I HATE WALMART
EXCLUSIVES!!!)

Yeah so October I landed a complete set of Solomon Grundy with Sinestro Corp and Maskless deathstroke, and it wasnt til the end of November when picked up Wave 4 (missing Wonder Woman, Artemis and the Regular captain Atom) and now its just painful to walk into Walmart and see nothing not even a bar code for Wave 5....sigh...

[Syn3sthesia]

I actually found around 4 cases of the Ares Wave but have no interest in them. Of course they were gone in a matter of hours.

[GI Jay]

Saw this wave over Christmas at Walmart in Cedar Hill, TX. Tons of Riddlers and Amazos, a few Atoms, one Black Lightning and no Eradicators. The Metallo pieces looked cool though!

[JoeJunkie]

I want wave 5 too! 6 Wal-Marts within a 30 minute drive radius, and none of them seem to have had them. Finally one of them got wave 6. Anyone here got wave 5 and want to trade? I've got the TRU two-packs, extra Aquamen (one of each version), Harley, Cyborg, Blue Sup and Red Sup from wave 2, and all 7 figs in wave 6.

I mostly want Riddler and Atom, then Eradicator, then Black Lightning. Not really interested in Amazo. Def need the first two.

[RuckusJr]

I've never seen these. I found one of the wave 6 figs today but unless I can get them all, I have no interest.

[Blaster'spunchingbagg]

Picked up all of Wave 6 in South Cali, for a friend in Jersey, never saw Wave 5. (I always hated how Cali got shit first, now I can do something about it.) I personally can give a rats lily white ass about this line due to the rarity and cost. I already collect everything G.I. Joe and Transformers, and JLU, and now MOTU Classics. I can't afford more stuff, particularly with the QC issues.

[MLos1]

we actually have one walmart here that has a ton of them,
the other three don't carry the line..
if any one is desperate let me know i would love to trade for a variant wraith..

Tons here too.

[MLos1]

My fave larger scaled DC figs were the BRANIAC and LEX LUTHOR from the DC SUPERHEROES collection.

[Transfotaku]

My fave larger scaled DC figs were the BRANIAC and LEX LUTHOR from the DC SUPERHEROES collection.

Those are some awesome figs. Darkseid was nice also. Doomsday would be great as a BAF like Grundy and Metallo was, but the one we got from the DCSH line is good enough.

I'm a lucky one I guess. I found 2 Riddlers once. Grabbed one. Kept going back to my WM at 2am in the morning for a few days, nothing.

Then while waiting for my dog to be groomed and all at Petsmart next door, I go to the WM. Found all the rest of wave 5. Came home with a happy dog and a happy me.

Haven't seen w6 yet, but that's okay. I need a break from those for a bit to get a few other things for now!

[kylethoreau]

wish I had you guys luck, they're nowhere to be seen around here.....but hoo boy do we have 'brave and the bold' figures now


yup gonna bee seeing these clog shelves for awhile.

If anyone has a Eradicator and Metallo pieces they want to get rid of PM me if ya please

[DOC]

Was vacationing in Florida last week and found at least ((10)) in walmart?? Like it was a exclusive riddler case or something?

Hey all! I know there are a lot of DC Universe Classic fans here, and with the sweet sculpts Mattel keeps producing, Im sure there are more fans to come. And hopefully as the line grows in popularity, the quality control will get better. We'll see..

Anyway.. I stumbled accross a site that actually has pictures of the WAVE 9 figures!

Here they are fans! Enjoy!

Welcome to DCUC.info - the DC Universe Classics Info Archive - action figures news, photos and more.... (http://www.dcuc.info/)

[RuckusJr]

Hawk, you're the MAN! I'm still trying to find wave 7 and here you are posting wave 9. Craziness!

[General Hawk 7]

Hawk, you're the MAN! I'm still trying to find wave 7 and here you are posting wave 9. Craziness!

7, 8 , AND 9 for that matter! ;)

And oh yeah... I AM the man. lol

Seriously though, I was really surprised to see pictures of Wave 9 when all I could find pretty much anywhere else were only as far as 8.

This is the site I usually use:
DC Universe Classics Archive - joeacevedo.com (http://www.joeacevedo.com/docs/figurezone/dcuclassics.htm)

Its a good site too. And for a while, I thought that was the most up to date site out there, But obviously not as up to date as that one posted above. =) "There's always a bigger fish" haha

[darthfoley]

Yeah, saw these a week or so ago through TNI. Looks like a good wave, can't wait to see what else they come up with this year.

[General Hawk 7]

Yeah, Im looking forward to seeing what other figures they come up with for this line this year.
Im hoping for a Wally version of Flash and a Kyle version of Green Lantern as well as some others.

Top 5 Im hoping for:
1) Power Girl (though it will be hard to beat the Infinite Crisis - Series 1 2006 version:
http://www.joeacevedo.com/images/figurezone/dcdfigures/dcdinfcrisis_powergirl.jpg
2) Flash (Wally West)
3) Green Lantern (Kyle Raynor)
4) Hawk Girl (unmasked like in Justice League Unlimited)
5) Huntress

I also wouldnt mind seeing the rest of the JSA like Dr Midnight, Sandman, etc.

[ShakeZula77]

They are all in this months Toyfare as well. I love the Deadshot he will be mine (on pre-order right now at BBTS)................Who is the Chemo Build a Figure? Where's he from? I'm not a huge DC fan just curious.

[karamazov80]

I also wouldnt mind seeing the rest of the JSA like Dr Midnight, Sandman, etc.
This is my hope, too, though I would prefer the Golden Age versions where possible (I can't believe that in the Mister Terrific wave, we get a lame Dr. Fate re-paint instead of Golden Age Terrific as the variant).

I also hope to see:
-classic Grayson Robin
-Speedy
-Aqualad
-Wonder Girl

[Cavbeast]

Chemo was IIRC a part of the Metal Men's rogues gallery, and over time has battled Firestorm, Supergirl and Superman and has worked for Taskforce X (Suicide Squad) and the Society. He's responsible for wiping most of Bludhaven off the map when the Society dropped him like a bomb.

And I'm still looking for 5, 6, 7 and 8..

2) Flash (Wally West)
3) Green Lantern (Kyle Raynor)
4) Hawk Girl (unmasked like in Justice League Unlimited)
5) Huntress


I have that Power Girl figure, and you're right, it would be tough to top it. She fits in great with the DCUC figs.

My top 5 at this point:
1) Tommy Monaghan (I really doubt this one would ever happen...but I can dream)
2) Swamp Thing (I've heard that Mattel doesn't have license for Vertigo characters, but I'm hoping that since Swampy was around long before Vertigo that won't apply)
3) Guy Gardner
4) Martian Manhunter (seems like a given...he's about the only big gun left)
5) Warlord (another long shot, I would think)

There's tons of other mid-to-lower level DC characters I'd like to see made, but these are the top for me at this point, given who we know is already set for release. But guys like Sgt Rock, Phantom Stranger, Spectre, Dr Mid-nite, tons of others would be almost as welcome.

I'd still like to see a Starro BAF...

[cOLD_SNAKE]

My top 5 are as follows in no particular order:
1. Sinestro Corp Herald: Superboy-Prime
2. Sinestro Corp Herald: Parallax (Kyle Raynor) w/ Hal Jordan Variant & w/ Mattycollector Exclusive of Jordan Repossesed Yellow Version
3. Blue Beetle (Jamie Reyes) w/ Kingdom Come Variant
4. Titans of Tomorrow Wonder Girl
5. Superboy (Teen Titans Conner Kent)
And a Sinestro Corp BAF Anti-Monitor

[82joe]

Does anybody here have the inside scoop of what the upcoming waves of DC Classics and Infinite Heroes will include? I just found a Infinite Heroes Wonder Woman at Target that I had no idea was even on the menu so obviously I'm out of the loop. I heard a 3 3/4" Bizarro is in the works what about a Captain Cold or Solomon Grundy?

[slim19722]

Bizarro is already out in a 3-pack, which I have only seen at Wal-Mart. Don't know about the others.

[82joe]

Bizarro is already out in a 3-pack, which I have only seen at Wal-Mart. Don't know about the others.

Isn't this the same 3 pack that once included Superman? I know these figures have less then perfect articulation but I'm slowly coming around and starting to dig them. I'm hoping Mattel eventually gets around to making a Batmobile and other vehicles (fingers crossed on a Jokermobile). Mmy interest is starting to wane on the Joe stuff and a cool 3 3/4" line of Marvel and DC Universe figures may be just what the doctor ordered.

[rob0213]

Captain cold is out, part of the Atom Smasher BAF wave

[82joe]

Captain cold is out, part of the Atom Smasher BAF wave

Yeah, the Superman is replaced with Bizarro.

[Vanguard]

Hope they release Bizarro single carded..already have the Superman 3 pack and don't want to spend money on another Wondergirl and Supergirl.I agree the articulation and body proportions are crap on these figs but I collect them alongside the Marvel Universe figs.Besides, I think it'll be along time before a new line of DC 3+3/4" figs come out. Where else can you get characters like Dr. Fate and The Spectre in 3+3/4" scale?

[darthfoley]

From what I've seen so far, most of the multi-pack figures from IH wind up single carded eventually.

DC Universe: Infinite Heroes Overload :: Action-Figure :: Toy, Collectibles and Action Figure News and Reviews from across the Globe (http://www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=24220&theme=Printer)

The best place for the DCUC stuff is

Welcome to DCUC.info - the DC Universe Classics Info Archive - action figures news, photos and more.... (http://www.dcuc.info/)

[copperhead33]

i love this line, But i absolutely refuse to collect them.
singles here in Canadaland are $8.99, and they don't come with anything.
The three packs are $20.00, but for the most part I'd end up with a bunch of figures that i don't want.
It's too bad, 'cause otherwise i'd be collecting these like mad.

[Syn3sthesia]

Infinite 3 3/4" scale?

I can't speak for that line but to my knowledge Captain Cold is part of the 6i nch wave.

[clevernamehere]

Where else can you get characters like Dr. Fate and The Spectre in 3+3/4" scale?

Bizarro is listed in a bunch of Wal-Mart skus that were found a couple months ago: 27084-72647 – P1993 – DCU Bizarro - $6.97.

The problem is that there's no real rhyme or reason to the release order, or even the numbering. Jay Garrick, single figure 47, is out in some stores, but he comes in a case with Lex Luthor (38) and some other figures in the 30's. No word on Cold or Grundy, but larger figures like Killer Croc and Mallah (and presumably Grundy would be reasonably close in size) have been put into multi-packs, and as someone already pointed out the Mallah pack was canceled. What this means for the future of big figures... who knows.

[82joe]

Thanks for the info. That Brainiac looks cool. Hope that's just a prototype and he is released with flesh colored skin.

[ArticulatedOne]

I just posted the first of many DC Universe Classics Wave 8 figure reviews over at Articulated Discussion. You can check out Gentleman Ghost's at the link below, with more to come soon. New reviews will always be at the top!

Don't forget, I give away one free toy every month, and all you have to do is leave a comment on my reviews for a chance to win.

[Scoop]

ArticulatedOne, I just read your Gentelman Ghost review and I must say that you give your figures a very detailed review. Thanks for a job well done.

I really want the Giganta build a figure from this wave, but I don't want to buy every figure. Hopefully I can trade some of my extra BAF parts for her parts.

I have yet to see any of the DCUC Classics Wave 8 figures in the stores. I'm still trying to catch up on the ones I need from Waves 6 & 7 like Hawkman, Shazzam, and the Flash.

[Sergeant Slaughter]

Finally saw this guy in stores, so I decided to pick him up.

Thanks for checking it out if you do.

[Starfighter]

I love this figure. The Batman and beyond introduced me to the hero (even though it is a different character, but with the same costume). He s very cool, IMO.

BTW, I just started collecting this line. I need just a few to get caught up through wave 8. I am still need to get The Atom and Eradicator from wave 5 and some of the 2-packs.

Wave 9 has just been released in stores. They look cool as well.

[Starfighter]

I love this line and it is my new addiction. I really did not want anything larger than the 4-inch scale, but this is very cool. I absolutely would buy 6-inch figures of G.I. Joe (ARAH only) after getting into this scale. They should make them.

I am surprised that there is not more talk about it on here.

So far, I am caught up through wave 8 (minus Eradicator and The Atom from wave 5 and missing some of the 2-packs light Lightray).

Wave 9 has just been released in stores around the US. I will be getting them as well.

[Bildar76]

I like them a lot. I would take these over Marvel Legends any day. The Booster Gold is my favorite. I am still trying to find the Hawkgirl wave.

[Echo7Solo]

I just got into them and am kicking myself for passing on some. I'm not after the whole line but do want the first 7 of the JLA

[Jmacq1]

I found part of Wave 9 at TRU Monday, no extras, though, and no Green Arrow, Mantis, or Wildcat.

I've never seen Wave 8 anywhere. I have a Dr. Fate I ordered online, but still need the rest of the series.

And I'm still hoping Mattel will get a clue and do a repack of "Classic" Aquaman. The blue-suit version just doesn't look right standing with the "classic" JLA.

[82joe]

I love this line too. I'm only picking up the Super Friends/Super Powers figures. Still looking for Gentleman Ghost to complete my Giganta. If anybody has him and wants to sell or trade the Giganta parts PM me.

I agree...if they made GI Joe (ARAH only) in this scale I'd be all over it like Jim Bob Duggar on Michelle's p:):):):)

[Headman]

DC has characters other than Batman and Superman?

[Echo7Solo]

DC has characters other than Batman and Superman?

oh you didn't know? I mean this IS DC we are talking about. Unlike Marvel who only has Wolverine

[Headman]

oh you didn't know? I mean this IS DC we are talking about. Unlike Marvel who only has Wolverine

Not true. Marvel has Moonknight and Sleep Walker.

[Starfighter]

I agree that these may be better than the Marvel Legends. Don't be offended Marvel guys, I love them as well. I missed out on most of them but do collect the Marvel Universe figures with a passion as well. These just seem to have a better articulation and just seem fresh and new.

[MrClean]

Love the figures, hate the hunt for them. With the regular waves, I just preorder them through BBTS. So far I'm caught up on all of them through wave 8, variants, exclusives and all. The Walmart wave 5 was surprising to see how hard they became, since our local Walmart put out about 20-30 of each character all at once. They were piled high. I guess that was just proof that the distribution was really off.
I'm hoping the Walmart wave 10 will be better distributed.

[Dawg99]

i like this line really looking forward to getting wave 9 soon

All those exclusives must have gone to your Walmart. I never found them once and we have just about as many Walmarts as we do McDonalds down here. All I wanted was Riddler. Found him in a comic shop and the dude wanted $55 for him. I just turned around pulled down my pants and bent over.

[Dawg99]

how much is the gotham city 5 pack selling for in stores down there ? we will never get that set up here

[Zodach]

I have been collecting this line ever since it started out as DC Superheroes back in 2006. I have almost every figure, but the picture below was taken before I added wave 9 thanks to TRU. Sorry for the poor quality picture. I will take another one soon.

Mattel has pretty much stated that it would be easier to get Wave 10 via Wal-Mart. You mast likely knew that though.

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt91/Zodach/IMG_5570.jpg

Nice pic. Do you think that the all of the DCDH figures will be in the DCUC line? It seems that only about 8 figures need to be made/repainted from that line and put into the DCUC line.

[chopsooie]

I do collect them, but due to the recent Wal-mart resets I will be unable to find any locally. I have all up to wave 8 including Lobo. Since I will not be able to buy them anymore from my local retailer I am considering selling my collection off. I see no reason having them if I cant collect them anymore.
I know most of you are saying by them from Ebay or an online retailer. The point is I should be able to get action figures made by Mattel at local retailers. I should not have to resort to buying online at inflated prices. I refuse to pay over 20 each for any of these figures, unless they are exclusives.
Chopz

[darthfoley]

I do collect them, but due to the recent Wal-mart resets I will be unable to find any locally.

So your WMs reduced their space for these? Interesting. Most reports indicate that a lot more WM stores have added the DCUC line. In my area I went from 2/6 stores to 5/6 carrying the line.

[Zodach]

Thanks. Battle Suit Lex Luthor and Supergirl should be coming in a 2-pack next year. Darkseid will be the Collect-n-Connect figure for wave 12 and Doomsday will get similar treatment down the road. Bane might be a future candidate for a Collect-n-Connect figure, but all they really need to do is resculpt and straighten out his legs. Steel, Bizarro, Parasite and Scarecrow are still pretty reasonable on eBay, so I don't see them getting released again. The black suit Cassie Batgirl and NYCC exclusive Mr. Freeze would be great additions to future 2-packs or multi-packs. I'm sure the Four Horsemen will get the opportunity to sculpt a Tim Drake Robin in the red/green costume and another Killer Croc before the license is up in 2012.

[Jmacq1]

All righty....so I found the remainder of Wave 9 today (Mantis, Green Arrow, and Wildcat) after finding Guardian, Black Adam, Black Canary, and Deadshot on Monday. It was the Kirby-Mantis, so I'm still on the lookout for the Super Powers Mantis, which was a HUGE favorite of mine when I was a kid (along with Steppenwolf).

Anyway, I think I'm very upset with Mattel over Green Arrow, because while the basic figure himself is fine, they really achieved (and I emphasize I hate using this kind of lingo just to show how strongly I feel about this) EPIC FAIL with his accessories.

So he comes with a bow, and four arrows: Boxing Glove Arrow, Bola arrow, Explosive-tip Arrow, and "Arrow" Arrow. Great right? Except for two things:

The Explosive arrow that's permanently attached to the bow he comes with, so without performing surgery on the bow you can't actually pose him getting ready to fire any of these trick arrows.

and

The quiver on his back does not have any place to put these trick arrows that he comes with.

Bad form Mattel...you fail at basic action figure accessory design 101.

In other news: I have never seen a single figure from Wave 8 in any of my local stores.

[USAgent]

I collected the first few waves, but when things started getting too crowded the supes were the first to go. I've got a GL shelf now instead and just stick to the characters that cross into Hal's books and most of the DC ladies (it's Hal Jordan, so the DC ladies have to hang around)

[Vulcan Raven]

DCUC is the focus of my collecting at this point. I got into the line a little late so i am playing catch up but i have been increasing my collection at a very rapid rate thanks to local stores having a good selection and fellow Tankers who no longer collect. I am only collecting Super Powers, Batman Rouges, Green Lantern Corps and Sinestro Corps but i may expand to the Legion of Doom as well.

[vkat7phish]

I don't collect the line but I really like them. Considered collecting them when they first came out or at least the Batman themed figures but focused more on other lines. The only ones I have are the Wonder Twins which I ordered after this year's SDCC. I'm on the lookout for Gentleman Ghost and Green Arrow as I think they are great looking figs but I hardly ever see these anywhere. Considering they are tough to find and the prices are going up, I'll only pick up a select few.

[Computron34]

Yep collect them all. Still need a few variants here and there, plus wv 9 and the 5 pack, but got everything else.

[SPECTER]

I have a few; B/G Batman, both Batman Beyonds,Wonder Woman,Nightwing,Starfire,Azrael,and Batgirl.

I will buy Joker and B/Y Batman when I find them.


anyone know if there is a chance they might rerelease Artemis? Didnt really care till I saw the Wonder Woman DTV now I kinda want her.

[snakeeyes22]

I've collected since wave 1!

Getting frustrated by the distribution and upcoming price hike to $14.99

I lucked into the Walmart wave, but no Atom so Metallo is missing am arm. Atom was crazy expensive at Wizardworld, and so were the rest.

Tried to find Gentleman Ghost so I could complete Giganta today, but found some wave 9 instead. Chemo is going to be pretty huge! Now I don't know if Gentleman Ghost will ever show back up.

My only other beef lately is how the best, or at least most demanded character in each wave comes with a figure stand. Why did this start? I've had to buy blue Aquaman, Commander Steel, and Guardian, who are all basic or not worth buying, for their figure parts. Meanwhile, I had to buy Flash separately, and it will be the same for Hawkgirl and Green Arrow.

For a lone that is even more anal about tooling than Joe, it seems they could just eliminate the duds

[laurenluna1977]

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt91/Zodach/IMG_5570.jpg[/QUOTE]

Do you have themes surrounding each of the gourping for your figures?

I assume the top shelf is your Superfriends: Super Powers Team/Justice League Unlimted group. Then, 2nd from the left are: JSA, New Gods, and Supermen from the Death of Superman Arc.

Third from the left are: Bat-Family, Batman's Rouges, after which I only recognize Etrigan and Gentleman Ghost, so I will say that is your supernatural beings group?

Fourth from the left are: Dark Knight, then, I only recognize Firestorm, Adam Strange, Parasite, Lobo from the first group, and Kid Flash, 2 Super Girls, 2 Green Lanterns on the second group, but I don't know how the groups relate to each other.

[TheLongestDay]

I only have AZRAEL from this line .... I want Bane too!

[NSP]

I love this line! I collected DC Direct figures way before this line came out.....and since they are in scale with the DCUC.....I can display them together. Plus....if I already have the DC Direct version of a character.....I dont need to buy the DCUC version. Currently Im looking for Gentleman Ghost, and Vigilante.....so I can complete my Giganta! I havent seen this wave at retail.....but bought Fate and Hawkgirl at a comicon last month. Im also looking for the Superpowers Parademon and Mantis. .

NSP

[Zodach]

[IMG]Do you have themes surrounding each of the grouping for your figures?


You are right on identifying the different groups. The right side of the top shelf is mostly Legion of Doom. On the bottom shelf, Lobo, Starfire, Adam Strange, and modern Firestorm are all connected by the 52 storyline. Mongul, Doomsday, and Parasite are the Superman villains. The lower shelves have some mixed groupings because I am running out of room.

Actually the mentality behind Mattel's decision on the figure stands is extreme collector-friendly. For the folks that only want the "core characters" they don't get stuck with useless figure parts.

If you're obsessing over completing the build-a-figures, then you're most likely the type of collector that enjoys many of the secondary/more obscure characters that you have to buy to complete them, anyway. You might not like all of them, but if you're a build-a-figure collector then chances are very, very slim that you'll always like every single figure in a wave/line/whatever.

I think Mattel's doing a pretty great job with the rationales behind their assortments. Now if they'd just stop shipping those stupid revision cases that clog pegs and are probably why Series 8 never showed up in my area.

[gyrapados]

yeah, I think if it wasn't for some of the secondary/obscure characters not having a piece of the build a figures chances are they wouldn't sell which means mattel would stop making those type of characters.

Still means I've not bought Ocean Warrior Aquaman though since I think it is a terrible figure. Guess I'm gonna have to break down and do that though if I hope to complete Atom Smasher. Dang it!
Why must I be a fan of the JSA? Why? lol.

actually i did not buy that blue aquaman as he looks plain stupid. i just bought the baf part from some guy for 4 bucks. granted they are harder to come by now. you have to strike when the wave hits and people start dumping things they dont want.

[MrClean]

I picked up wave 9 today! Got a whole set plus the variant Mantis too. But only the variant Wildcat. At least I think it's the variant. I picked up the purplish-gray one. And the Chemo torso he comes with doesn't have the extra bubbles piece inside the torso either that I've read about. So I guess I'll wait until I find a black Wildcat with the whole torso before I build Chemo. But Chemo looks to be the biggest BAF they've done for DCUC!

Oh, and Guardian's lame. So lame. 50 billion characters and they choose Guardian?

[handsomedevil]

I used to buy 'em all, but I've slowed down and become a lot more selective of which characters I pick up.

[beef664422]

i've bought most but not all... mainly bought one of each character and I already had several DC Superheroes, though some new characters I've passed on also if I wasn't going for the BAF or if they didnt have a BAF part (like guardian, Hawkgirl, and Batman Beyond) I just wish I could find the wave 5 riddler, blacklightning, atom, and amazo. and the gentleman ghost to complete my giganta.

on a side note, anybody trying to get some atom smasher parts, check out my bst thread... lol

[Jmacq1]

Oh, and Guardian's lame. So lame. 50 billion characters and they choose Guardian?

Guardian is indeed a very lame figure, but someone on the DCUC decision-making team has a raging hardon for Jack Kirby's DC creations.

Although if you swap the Guardian head onto the "classic" Dr. Fate I think you basically end up with "All Star Squadron" Dr. Fate, don't you?

Anyone still finding Wave 8 out there? I pretty much need that whole set.

[alcoholic ewok]

I've been army building the living hell out of the following figures:

Mr. Miracle
Dr. Impossible
Shazam
Booster Gold
Blue Aquaman
Killer Moth

Why? B/C That is all that is in stores around Atlanta. Screw you Mattell, you turned it into He-Man. This crap's been on pegs for MONTHS now. NOBODY likes these characters this much, not even in a city of over 5 million people.

[MST3KFan]

I hate how Mattel continues to prolong releasing certain characters. Like where's Martian Manhunter, dang it!? I want my core 7 Justice League. Would be nice too if they could make a proper Teen Titans team rather then mix and match the characters between modern and classic.

I keep looking at my incomplete DC Minimates teams with worry DCUC ending up like them.

[CrimsonGuardVet76]

I have been a DC comics fan for a long time and absolutely love the DCU line. The Four Horseman are sculpting Gods! I also collect the DC Infinite Heroes, mostly out of loyalty to the brand.

Awesome displays tkjaer21!

[shany94a]

Haven't really collected many of these figures but am very pleased with Vigilante - one of my favorites from my younger days, and also my last real Halloween costume.

You're running into the same problem almost every toy line has: If they make everything everyone wants in the first year or two, then people stop buying.

Sprinkling the high-demand figures across multiple waves keeps people buying longer, especially with the build-a-figure gimmick mixed in.

[JoeJunkie]

I collect them too. Got most of everything from DCUC and many of the goodies from DCSH. Just lacking the DCSH wave 8 Catwoman and Two-Face, DCSH Brainiac, DCUC wave 8 Vigilante, and wave 5 Eradicator and Black Lightning for what I'd like to have. Oh and need most of wave 9 too--only seen three of these so far. Skipped over a few (IMO) losers like Killer Moth and Blue Camo Aquaman.

If anyone needs help locating, and wants to buy, basically anything from wave 6, wave 7, a wave 2 Jason Rusch Firestorm or either of the wave 2 Supermen, shoot me a PM and I'd be glad to help clear our shelf-warmers.

Sounds like a lot of folks need Gentleman Ghost. . .I'll keep my eyes open. I'm fortunate to have 4 WalMarts and 4 Targets within a short drive to hunt at!

[JoeJunkie]

Someone earlier in the thread said these are going to $14.99. Seriously??? I might have to seriously cut back. Good thing I don't like most of waves 10 and 11! Wave 12 will be a bear. . .I NEED me a BAF Darkseid (forgot to mention in the last post I also lack DCSH blue Darkseid).

Nice wave.

[steve2477]

Those are cool.

[Jmacq1]

Still kinda disappointed it's not the modern Dr. Mid-Nite.

Interesting wave...not really any "core characters" to be found. I guess Mary Marvel comes closest, though.

That or the wave will ship with a repack of Green Arrow or something.

BBTS has it shipping with PowerGirl from the last Walmart wave. They must be counting on the Darkseid BAF to sell this set. (Rightly so, that's a pretty awesome Darkseid)

[ArticulatedOne]

I just picked up DCUC Wave 10, and managed to find three extra figures too. Instead of taking them to Ebay for big bucks, I've decided to give them away at my site instead. Check out the link below to see how to win Batman, Joker, and Power Girl. All you have to do is leave a comment on my site, so take 30 seconds to enter, and in two weeks, you might have three DCUC Wave 10 figures on their way to your door.

The DC Universe Classics Wave 10 Classified Contest (http://www.articulateddiscussion.com/post/The-DC-Universe-Classics-Wave-10-Classified-Contest.aspx)

Good luck with the contest, and good luck with your DCUC 10 hunt.

[Scoop]

I'm in!

I've been checking these Walmarts stores everyday.

I did the same thing for Wave 5 and all I found was nothing. I'm not sure they even were shipped to any of the Walmart locations in Long Island, NY.

By the way I love your site. I've been a lurking fan of it for while now.

I didn't know you were going everyday. Cause I know I have been, almost every night before closing as well. It's driving me nuts! lol

[karamazov80]

Cool contest--entered! I really just want a Joker, but things aren't looking good :(

[Griff]

well one reason this wave aint in stores is cause scalpers are bribing store employees to pull whole cases from the back and not put them on the pegs....

[flash70]

done - thanks for offering this.

[rob0213]

I posted a comment. It's a cool thing you are doing.

[Eighty3]

thanks.

[Dawg99]

very cool of you ...
hope i can score the joker

[vkat7phish]

Thanks for offering this. Very cool indeed.

[fogger1138]

I just entered. Very cool of you (and it's nice to know that the wave has been spotted in the wild).

[Starfighter]

I entered as well. Great idea and many thanks for the chance to win!

[LG]

Thanks for the heads up that these things are out. Also, nice site. I'll add it to my list of places to check out.

[Zefram]

I just (hopefully) entered. I normally don't collect DC, but I'm a Power Girl fan and wouldn't mind a fig of her.

[siamese goat]

Very cool of you to do and cool site as well.
I did not enter due to having the few dcuc I wanted and not wanting to ruin a hardcore collectors shot at them.

I visit WM once a day to look for clone wars figs and my local WM hasnt added anything new in the dcuc line for a while.

[ArticulatedOne]

Thanks for the kind words guys, but it's really no problem. I'm just glad I can give back a little and counter the scalper-surge anyway possible

[alcoholic ewok]

but what if another collector goes to that same wal-mart hoping to also find them....

[AlternateUniverse Steeler]

I posted =)

been looking for weeks =(

[DrNightmare]

Woooo, TAO in da hizzy!

Keep the comments coming folks, maybe Mattel will see all the anguish you go through to get their toys and do something about it.

[Blaster'spunchingbagg]

Didn't enter because there are way too many people who need/want this wave more than me. I'd like to have a joker figure but not willing to jump through hoops for it. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, what you're doing is rad. By jumping through hoops I'm referring to employee's being bribed by scalpers to pull the case from the back however, I'm not sure how valid that is. Pallets are usually in plain view with case #'s on them, I don't see why a scalper/collector wouldn't just jack them off a pallet? I did find the majority of the wave on the 1st in Santa Clarita, both Jokers and Man-Bat were taken, but they had everybody else. These figures are expensive enough and I personally can't justify spending more than 20 dollars on them each. Maybe they'll eventually be common place, who knows?

[DrNightmare]

That'd be funny if a "1 set per customer" rule was applied to this wave.

[ArticulatedOne]

[RuckusJr]

I'm really pleased with how Mattel keeps using new characters. You seriously haven't seen any wave 10? I already got mine and have found 3 others for Dawg. If you want a Power Girl, I grabbed an extra if someone wants it.

[Steelgrave]

I only want the Mantis robot variant but the stores stopped restocking these. Doesn't look like Target is carrying the line at all anymore. I'll have to get him off feebay.

[RuckusJr]

My Target has them and the one near my work continually restocks waves 8 and 9.

[gyrapados]

My Target has them and the one near my work continually restocks waves 8 and 9.

You are very blessed then because wave 8 is MIA here, never seen any of it, and I only found a few figures from wave 9. And wave 10? Yeah, haven't seen any of those either and doubtfully will.
Distribution here is abysmal!

Oh if to only have a wave 10 Power Girl how happy I'd be.

[nandoninny]

i found most of the newer two waves (including robot mantis) at the new toys r us in houston on bunkerhill.
they're so damn expensive so i bought them for a friend of mine.

i'm all over that deadman they've got coming out though.

The only way I found wave 10 was to buy out my walmart and take those figs away from the area... I did it to 2 walmarts and then went to the managers and asked them to order...

Scored a set from me and my bud a week and a half later... Since they aren't coded different, they will send wave 10 once the current stock is depleted as long as their DC has them. I actually told the toy manager at one of the stores that they would be hot and they ordered 6 cases...

Saw them run thru this week... 6 cases... one store..

[vadersquest]

I love these figs but damn......I cant find jack crap. With that I decided to quit collecting them. To dang hard to find and I do not have tome to hit stores every frigging day.

[RuckusJr]

I have a job and a gf, but really no life. It makes it really easy to hunt, lol.

[Steelgrave]

Hell, I still haven't even seen 1 Charbroil in a store. Huntin ain't what it used to be! The stores around here hardly ever restock anything anymore. They have too much old crap. I see the same shit month after month after month after month. Doesn't look like anything is selling these days cept Star Wars figures.

Every time I go to Walmart they have pallets full of plush, board games, dolls & Wolverine movie figures. I never see anything good anymore.

[RuckusJr]

Yea, I think my Target is waiting to sell through all of the Cover Girls, Baronesses, Heavy Dutys, and Destros before stocking anything else. The pegs are half full and have been for a while.

[snakeeyes22]

My Walmart is packed with so many older cases. Probably like 5 each of several characters. Dr. Impossible is quite possible to locate.

These new ones are cool, but they are getting obscure to me. I've never heard of Trigon and I know who Doom Patrol is, but I've never read anything with them and couldn't name the characters.
I'd have preferred modern Superboy, but this one completes the Reign of the Supermen, although I'm waiting for the Sinestro Corps Cyborg, so it's poinless to me.

I do wish that the variant were simply swappable accessories.

[Steelgrave]

After what they did to Masters Of The Universe, whenever I see "Mattel" I run away! I won't touch anything by Mattel. I just want the robot Mantis to update my old Super Powers figure that I still have.

[Syn3sthesia]

I'm really pleased with how Mattel keeps using new characters. You seriously haven't seen any wave 10? I already got mine and have found 3 others for Dawg. If you want a Power Girl, I grabbed an extra if someone wants it.

Thanks man. But I had a feeling that today was gonna be my day. And sure enough, the Toy Gods shined their light and guided me. I got me a case of Wave 10. I'm so happy and relieved.

Only a few more to go out of W8.

NICE!!!! I have a question though, how does the head fit in the Imperiex body. Mine's all loose and wobbly. I can't tell if its because the body or the head.

[Tuga Viper]

You have to push harder Ruckus. Been reading that it needs to snap into place and it needs a little more presure than normal.

Oh and still looking for wave 10 also. Only want a Joker and if I see her a Powergirl.

[rob0213]

I really like this line, but they haven't been around since the first WM exclusive wave. I've given up on them completely. Too bad, a lot of cool figures.

[82joe]

I got lucky I guess. I hit TRU everyday for about three weeks straight. I was just about to throw in the towel and sell them all off when I hit gold. I picked up Green Arrow, Super Powers Mantis, Dr Fate etc. Got lucky and found Joker at Walmart too. Never seen these figures since. Now all I need is Gentleman Ghost to complete Giganta.

[Syn3sthesia]

Mine still MOC but according to some members of the Fwoosh, You gotta push it real hard and it eventually click in.

There's been a couple tha have actually broken the neck piece so I'll just put some paper/rubber band around the neck joint.

[klinton]

Nice! Does anyone know if Barbara is the variant Cheetah? I've already got a couple sweet renditions of the Priscilla Cheetah (Superfriends and Alex Ross), but the only Barbara version I've seen over the years is the original DCD release, and she's dwarfed by modern figures. She's long been a favorite character of mine. Ima need her.

[Zarnaught]

Is it a big deal that the wave hit my walmart or is this a common phenomenon?

[Shogi]

Relatively big, Thus far I've only seen 3 Batman figures at all the stores around me.

[vermillion21]

Scoop them up for trade fodder dude!!!

i havent been hunting really all week but i was at walmart yesterday and saw them, if more people agree ill put up/get pics.

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

I myself did not want the entire wave, but miraculously got some about 4 weeks ago.

So I was able to get them, and help a friend in the great White North on here, by shipping them to him. He was stoked to get a full set.

I like the Joker sculpt myself.

i really wanted the beast boy and man-bat

[martinjdekay]

Looking for the Robotman from the set was the final incident launching me into getting back into GI Joe.

Finally gave up on finding Robotman, but did manage to find a CS Snake Eyes.

[Jmacq1]

Found all of them except Robotman, Beast-Boy, and Man-Bat. Keep hoping I'll stumble across the rest sooner or later, but am not holding my breath.

Then again, the last Wal-Mart exclusive wave seemed to have a "several months later" batch that hit my Wal-Mart well after most of the hype had died down. I'm hoping the same will happen with this wave.

[Syn3sthesia]

How far are you from DC or MD? There is a store that had 3 cases as of last Friday. No Manbat but the other two were there.

[JohnnyAngel77]

I found the entire set about a month ago and bought them and sold them. Now I see a few from wave 10 here and there at my Walmart. Even been seeing wave 9 show up at my local Target.

[darthfoley]

I'm already waiting for wave 12...wave 11 is quite nice.

[Bildar76]

I got them all this weekend. I was just going to get the Joker but they matched the $5.99 deal that Meijer had on them. So I had to get all 7 for that price.

Starting my Wave 11 reviews over at Articulated Discussion. First up is the Question, definitely not one of my favorite DCUC releases ever. You can check out my review at the link below.

DCUC Wave 11 The Question Review (http://www.articulateddiscussion.com/post/Review-DC-Universe-Classics-Wave-11-The-Question.aspx)

And don't forget, one free toy is given away every month at AD, so leave a comment on the review, and you might be the lucky winner!

[vkat7phish]

These are a pretty big deal as they are Walmart exclusives and, from what I understand, the last Walmart exclusive wave for DCUC was pretty rare. Notwithstanding the exclusive status of this wave, there have been distribution issues for DCUC which fuels their value. Back on topic, I haven't seen them at all but I have to believe that these will be in abundance as the holidays roll on. At least I hope so. They are going for some big prices on ebay but I've heard more and more reports of people finding them in stores now.

[RuckusJr]

They're becoming less and less rare. I see Powergirl, Batman, and Forager at my WM all the time. I have a whole set minus the ManBat.

[Vulcan Raven]

I stumbled upon Batman and Man Bat at my local Walmart a few weeks back and bought them both. I went back two days later and they had two cases of the entire wave so i picked up Robotman, Joker and Beast-Boy. I didn't really want Powergirl or Forager so now i'm onto wave 11.

[Lody]

Looking for the Robotman from the set was the final incident launching me into getting back into GI Joe.

Finally gave up on finding Robotman, but did manage to find a CS Snake Eyes.

I can get him for you -at cost plus shipping.

[Bildar76]

I just saw that Mattycollector is going to have DCU wave 11 box set on sale on the 15th. I don't know what they mean by box set but I hope they still have all the pieces to build Kilowog. I wasn't worried about it until I saw the picture on the whole wave except of Kilowog.


MattyCollector.com Online Store (http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/ContentTheme/pbPage.News#Dec2009Sale)

[Lody]

If anyone is looking for the Captain America and Skrull (?) packs plus any of the wave 10, I can get them for you at cost plus shipping.

[Vulcan Raven]

I can't wait to build Kilowog!!

Besides him though the only one i want for sure is the red suited Steppenwolf so i don't foresee needing a box set. It seems pretty cool though.

[Bildar76]

I gotta get the box set because I have the hardest time finding any around here.

[Vulcan Raven]

I know what you mean, DC Classics seem to be really hard to procure unless you either stumble upon them or relentlessly hunt everyday for them. I wish they would fix that distribution problem of theirs.

They're going for not much more than cost on Ebay now. When they first hit, way back in September, the costs for them were astronomical. Now you can snag most of them for a little over retail if you're careful.

They are Wally exclusives, true, but nowhere near as hard to get hold of as the first Wally wave.

[Syn3sthesia]

^^^ I would be truly kicking myself right now if I were one of those cats that spent $400 on that wave last Sept.

[flash70]

Got some wave 10 extras anyone interested?

[Syn3sthesia]

In another website they claim that there is a statement on Mattys facebook that delays the selling of this wave till the 23rd of Dec. I can't really verify it because I dont have a facebook account.

[Syn3sthesia]

Here it goes

[abesapien2]

its the 23rd. They won't sell until they have the product.

[darthfoley]

Wave 11 is very nice. Unfortunately they do suffer from the same neck articulation issues of the last couple of waves, but overall they are very well done.
