Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[Silent December]

Incurable collector i love your setup!! do you use and sticky stuff to help them stand or anything??

Thanks! No, no sticky stuff. The gray areas are actually rubber so the figures grip pretty good by themselves.

I have my first part of the wave 16 review up at the usual:

[The Batman Professor]

That AzBats is an awesome figure for the most part. I just wish the gauntlet fins weren't backwards. Mattel seems to always aim for the sky and hit their foot instead.

great review, Michael. Love the pics and I can't wait to get my set soon.

In the latest Q&A, Matty says those fins turn...is that not true

That surely seems like a lie to me.

 

[Merc]

Someone on Fwoosh found a comic frame that had the fins on the same way as the figure, so they may have meant that Azrael could rotate the fins in the comics, not that the figure can.

That sounds like some Mattel BS...why make him like he appears in 99% of the comic appearances

They are likely to remind of that DCUCs is the 4 Horseman's "interpretation" of the DC universe.

Yeah, does pretty much sound like covering their asses after their mistake.

The fin thing doesn't bother me, and I doubt it'll bother me at all once I have him in-hand. BigBadToy lists on their site they should have them today, so hopefully I'll have a shipping notice by day's end...

Well the day has come and gone and nothing

I thought I'd wrap up wave 16 quickly, with the second half tonight - Robin, Creeper, Jonah Hex and Bane. I really, really like Jonah Hex, but Creeper and Bane are a bit...weaker.

I also have a guest review from Jeff Parker, who's checking out the new Hot Toys Iron Man 2 Iron Man Mark IV. You can find all the reviews at the usual:

Special delivery for the Jester...

...he's a big boy.

That is one big figure. He's like Incredible Hulk big. Great pic. I have the Darkseid build a figure but I might have to break down and pick up Bane. That's maybe the best Bane figure I've ever seen.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

IC, I'm also disappointed... and Michael's escellent as usual reviews make me even more impatient...

 

[The Batman Professor]

That Bane is nice, but a tad big for my taste.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yes, but I'd rather see him slightly too big than too small. His size does change depending on who is drawing him. We've bene stuck with that short, squatty Bane from DCSH so this is a welcome update.

 

[Michael Crawford]

He's too pin headed for me. I prefer the Bane we got with the DCSH wave.

 

[Buttmunch]

Most hugely muscled guys ARE pinheaded. You can make your muscles bigger, but generally your head doesn't get any bigger.

 

[amusedjester]

I'm starting to feel some jonesing on DCUC with all these pics. My money is tight right now but, damn it, I need my DCUC fix.

. . .nice, but a tad big for my taste.

That's what she said.
