Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[amusedjester]

Well, I have been playing with Robin and the Creeper and I really like the new articulation additions. If it became standard in all figures then I wouldn't mind the price hike.

I usually test each joint first and if I encounter resistance I just dunk the figure in microwaved water before trying again. That helps me a lot and I haven't had one figure in my collection with a broken articulation.

Everything is looking pretty great. Except for poor Mr. Freeze. Really? Can't we retire that figure yet? Or at least the oversized freeze gun?

 

[Silent December]

that Batman legacy line is a total pass for me =(

 

[Buttmunch]

Really? The AC figures at least are fantastic! As is Trench Joker. Sure these are quick bashed for them to put together, but for the most part they are wanted ones.

I'm sticking to comic incarnations so video game and movie figures don't hold any interest for me. Why aren't the Batman Begins figures in the movie master line I wonder?

Wave 18 looks good!! I wonder if Apache Chief is the CNC? Cap Boomerang's face looks awesome. It's about time we saw more of Flash's rogues gallery.
Crime Syndicate is a must buy for me. Now for months of waiting.

Actually it looks like the DCUC faces are really getting better.

here you go papo

During the storyline Flash, Luther, The Atom, Scarecrow, and Wonder Woman are deputized and are each given a ring of different color and power that befits their personality and character but also changes their appearance to what you see in wave 17.

This site has better pics and more closeup of the wave 18 and walmart exclusive.

Thanks for the link AJ. I'm happy overall with today's announcements but a little disappointed that we didn't get a Catman or a Huntress. Oh well- here's hoping for SDCC!

WEll, at first it was said that these pics were fake and were actually customs but since the photos of toyfair reveal confirmed some to be true, the Catman in this link may be true as well.

the Catman in particular IS a custom (a great one!) by someone at the Fwoosh.

 

[Buttmunch]

All of those pics were fakes/customs. But the line ups seem to be true, or at least so far.

 

[amusedjester]

But the Mr. Freeze one had the same ugly color scheme as the one from the show. Is that Lavender?
The Commissioner Gordon figure looks the same, as well.

Ah well, Catman should still be an easy repaint and a few touch ups so it should be a go. As long as they don't go the Fatman route.

I don't collect this line, but I am so tempted to get El Dorado and Tiger Bronze!!!
They look amazing!!
And Apache Chief is too awesome!
