Picked up my wave 13 at CSC today, opening it up right now. DcFett - you got lucky to get the variant NM without the extra charge, so you got 9 figures instead of eight?
here's an update for my wave 13.
Of the group these figures are my favorites, which was a surprise for me.
Cyclotron - Wasn't too familiar with this character and I thought the removable chest and face was just a fancy gimmick. The removable parts actually doesn't damage the quality of the sculpt.
Modern Cheetah - I thought I would like the original better but the face on this one is just great. It has its own separate face sculpt from the original and I love the hair on this figure. I just wish they retained the original paint job. Ah well, I guess we can't have a naked female toy yet.
Superboy - This wasn't really a surprise. This figure just captured the character well. The buckles on the leg aren't just painted on but sculpted. I like that they glued on the specs on the face, since i long ago lost the one on the dc direct one. BUT If you want to, you can pry off the glasses because they actually painted the eyes behind it.
This second group is easily a toss-up in terms of favoritism and i think some will actually like these better than the first group.
Blue Beetle - This is a departure from the line. As you can see from the articulation at the knees and elbow, they are double jointed. Weird huh? The whole body sculpt is completely different from any DCUC figures. It kinda throws me off.
Original Cheetah - This figure, I think, is sexier than the modern version. The paint job on the face is well done. Maybe she's my favorite version now.
Blue Devil - Great looking figure, but he is a "C" character maybe "D" but they still did a good job by it.
The Last group - I wasn't too happy with Negative Man. I don't know why they had to make a variant of him when they could have easily made a pop-off face like Cyclotron. I actually thought that was the original design. Wondergirl - This figure isn't all too bad. Good face sculpt, great work on the hair. BUT why did they cast the rope? It just looks lame to me.
Finally the CNC figure- Trigon. I am actually surprised by this figure. One may think that they re-used Atom Smasher's buck but they re-sculpted the body and did a great job on it. The face is cast in a softer rubber and I just love that Ugly face. The cloth cape threw me off; didn't know about that but it is a cool surprise. Also, as you can see it is a poseable cape.
Hope you guys get yours soon, it is a great addition to what is turning out to be the ultimate Dc toy line.
