Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[hunnipot85]

I was going through an old SD card a few moments ago and stumbled upon my DCUC pics from SDCC this year and thought I'd share them with you guys. Hope you enjoy my amateur skills!

​

I don't know why... but I kinda want this one.

Any details?

Part of a Legion of Superheroes multi-pack consisting of 12 figures due out this year as a Mattycollector.com exclusive.

 

[hunnipot85]

Thanks! Do you know who else comes in the 12 pack?

I thought Saturn Girl looked really nice out of all the ones shown. I like her face sculpt a lot, but a set of 12 figures from Matty Collector isn't going to be cheap.

 

[DCFett]

Well about $200 scratch wont be that bad. Look at like this, there probably won't be any other DCU to buy on Matty for a while since the jlu packs didn't sell out. Plenty time to save!

 

[Boba Ben]

Yeah $200 would be about retail and I'd pick them up for that price if I have the money when they go up. I don't collect JLU or Infinite Heroes, so I can focus more on the DCUC side of things.

 

[amusedjester]

Yeah they should have added more women on that lineup. Dawnstar would have been an easy make with the combo of hawkgirl and raven.

I hope everyone had a happy new year, and looking forward to a great 2011! I'm finally getting back to that other half of the Green Lantern Wave 1 review I promised a couple weeks ago. Tonight I'm looking at Blackest Night Abin Sur, Low (and Maash), and the Manhunter. Oh, and the CnC figure of Akrillo of course!

These are even better than the first four, especially for the Green Lantern fans. You can find the review at the usual:

Thanks for reading!

The Grossmont Wal-mart is in stocking limbo, I think they're prepping for inventory or something cause the toys section is B-A-R-E.

Ok cool. Keep an eye out for me please! Let me know

From Mike's review

The price of the DCUC figures continues to rise, and at some point - and it's not very far off, in my opinion - they'll hit the point where they can no longer sell in large enough quantities to make a profit

 

[Boba Ben]

That is a shame, but I do agree that they are getting out of the price range for a lot of casual collectors that aren't as hardcore into the line as some of us.

I also wanted to add that the Green Lantern Classics packaging looks awesome.

 

[hunnipot85]

Thanks Incurable! Unfortunately, I only know Super boy... and I thought he was Superman at first.

As expensive as they are now, We are still better off than MOTU collectors. Those poor souls are paying what? 35$ a pop right? I think Mike might have been referring to the GLC sub line (at least I hope) as I think the main DCUC line has too many big hitters not to sell.

 

[Boba Ben]

Sadly, I'm more invested in the MOTUC line than this one. With shipping it comes to about $30 per figure for me.

No prob Hunni, The fact that these Legion characters aren't that well known is what makes this 12 pack a gem for DC fans. We didn't think there was a shot in hell we'd somehow get figures of characters the likes of the Karate Kid or Matter Eater Lad

Sadly, I'm more invested in the MOTUC line than this one. With shipping it comes to about $30 per figure for me.

 

[hunnipot85]

Was the old movie based on this Karate Kid character?

Finally found the Will vs. Fear two-pack. Watch the paint apps, kids, as Hal seems to especially have some chipped colors and slop abounds. So, was it worth $35? Not sure yet. Guy is going to inherit the saw, and I think the 'Super Friends' Hal is going to take the place of his All-star counterpart in the JLA display for a little while. Sinestro was the main selling point here, and it's very nice to have a non-white stuff covered, non-crotch-exploding, properly tall Sinestro for the LOD. Now they need to crank out a repaint toot sweet with his SC uniform.

 

[Buttmunch]

I hope to find that set soon. I got $10 in Rewards dollars to use by the 14th! $25 is a much better price for that set!

Hey Swift! In the 2 pack. Did they do a new head sculpt? I couldn't tell from the pics. And GL has the metallic paint right?
