Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[Lee in MI]

The left arm comes with Eradicator. I have a black lightning. Want to make a trade?

No...My brother and I bought a case with the hopes of splitting it with anyone who needed the extra figs. We only need the BL and Atom, and if a Freak really needed it, we would sell the Atom too. The rest we are selling for c+s.

When we bought our initial set, all our figures were in good shape but BL. His leg broke. We fixed it but since we had the chance to replace him, we did. Now we have an entire set that we don't need minus the BL. Our old Atom just had his nuclear symbol on his head a little crooked. So that's not a big deal. If someone else wants him, we'll sell the new one and just keep the old one.

Let us know.

ok not a problem

Love this line, but the $15 plus price tag has turned me off. I will be purchasing Martian Manhunter and calling it quits. I am trying to trim back spending to strictly 1:6 scale stuff and that gets pricey.

 

[Seditionary]

Same here. I just wanna fill in my batman rogues and move on at this point. If only I could get a grundy without spending 60-70 dollars. That's out of control

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

Has Grundy gone up in price? I managed to snag one off ebay for $50 shipped about a year back.

 

[Seditionary]

Yeah, well with shipping its probably more in most cases. The dumb thing is even if you try and collect the pieces one by one, your gonna end up almost spending the same.

 

[Hirogen]

These exclusive waves really diminish my excitement as well. I have three kids and I do not feel like driving around to 15 Walmarts trying to hunt down characters. I had fun when I was single but time is too vaulable now for me. If I can't order the set online for a decent price, no thanks.

I got lucky with Wave 10 as I happen to stop in a Walmart on my way to a meeting to pick up mints and checked the toy aisle and BAM all of wave 10 was sitting there! I was shocked.

 

[amusedjester]

Hopefully, it is true that Walmart has increased their orders on their exclusives and that they will be easier to get.

Wave 16 is supposedly:

Richard Grayson Robin
Azreal Batman
Riddler (Spandex?)
Jonah Hex
Creeper
mercury
C&C Bane

I'll take them all except mercury, so it looks like I'll be pre-ordering a wave again!

Toyfair supposedly has pics, but no scans of it have surfaced yet. If I have to wait until SDCC, I'll live

Yeah I saw this on Fwoosh. Great wave. I thought it was said that they'd finish SP this year, but without Samaurai, they cant really say that. Am I missing anyone outside of some redos like Orion, Kalibak, Penguin, and Luthor?
Not too keen on the Az Bats and Jonah Hex not having an ab crunch. Tired of that ____! We keep paying more and they keep making "design" changes!!!

 

[The Vile One]

I can take or leave the ab crunch joint. I don't really mind.

I can't wait to pick up Plastic Man at SDCC.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

Having seen the scans, I'm very excited for wave 16. And GLC Kyle!!! I'm so glad we got his modern look first, I hate every other costume he's had so far (with a little nostalgia for his 90's look). And it looks like Matty is keeping the "metallic paints for certain parts" deal they started with Wave 11 (Stewart's armbands and Wog's ring) and should fit in nicely with metalliHal. Now they need to put Sinestro on that Creeper buck. NOW.

 

[Animal Mother.]

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think his current costume is the most dull and lazy of them all. I wasn't too big on the Jim Lee design, but aside from the Dog Collar I'd prefer it to this one. I notice his mask though is more in line with the 90's outfit (my fave) than his current suit, so maybe that means we'll get the variant soon.

 

[amusedjester]

Someone posted a scan of wave 16.

Creeper looks real good and so does Kyle Rayner. Wonder if that size is accurate for the Bane figure? For a CnC figure I really don't want him to be way too high over Batman. Hopefully they used the Etrigan Body for Bane which I think would fit in more.

Well the point is that they keep backing out the items that add cost to the figures like ab crunches and ankle swivel joints, yet the retail cost have remained high. Not to mention that they are using the same bucks constantly which should help to bring cost down or at the very least keep them steady.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

I'm okay with Bane being bigger. they're comic characters, their proportions and scales are open to interpretation and exagerration.

And I love Kyle's modern costume. He looks like a Green Lantern but retains his mask, which to me is the key to his look. I HATE Lee's design and any iteration of Ion. However, they should make a variant of his original costume to complete the Morrison JLA.

My idea for a wave:

-Aquaman (Hooked, bearded)

-The Flash (Wally, metallic paint)

-Aztek

-Tomorrow Woman

-Green Arrow (Connor Hawke)

-Prometheus

-The Key (Modern/Classic 50/50 variant)

-C&C General Eiling as the Shaggy Man

 

[Animal Mother.]

That would probably be my favorite wave yet. I'm a HUGE 90's DC fan. The only change I would make is substituting Tomorrow Woman with 90's/total Justice style Huntress.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

I totally forgot about Huntress! But she's a member of the Bat-family; they'll get to her sooner than later. The closer I think we are to completeing the Morrison-era JLA the more I realize we're pretty far away...

 

[Animal Mother.]

Yeah, I don't think the 4H are too keen on that era. They seem to be big on 70's-80's, and even current but thats probably more at DC's instance.

Don't get me wrong though, I also love the Super Powers era of DC, and thats the DC I first knew as a kid at the time. But I was a big Marvel Zombie during those years, and didn't come to really appreciate DC until my early teen years during the Morrison era.
