Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[samueljd]

Did anyone get Starfire?

Anyone willing to sell/trade it?

I got her, but sorry I won't sell her. BTW, she looks great. They made a slimmer body for her, so the proportions look right when compared to some of the bigger more muscular females.

I got MOC wave 3 Robin. If anyone is looking for him.

I thought I read they used the Harley body so a common complaint was that she is undersized.

Mattel has done a great job with DC figures. They blow away Marvel Legends.

It is the Harley body.


Mattel should have used the DCSH Batgirl body which is a bit bigger.

I passed on starfire, as I Gave up on thi line as a whole. Might even decide to sell mine. not sure. I was never able to find any of them, so i simply stopped looking for them.

Pisses me off too, because i shelled out so much for Lobo
Bah, might get back into them later, there's allways ebay.

 

[Lee in MI]

I agree, they have done a great job with this line but they have had a few misses with the scale of some characters.

 

[DCFett]

Agreed.

Is anyone discussing the Gleek situation here? Any thoughts?

Totally understand, but if you are going to be in this, you surely need to be fully invested in buying from an online retailer and from time to time, ebay. Otherwise, you're gonna be pretty pissed and have many headaches trying to get these in stores.

I don't even try to buy them from local stores. I just buy them online or in a case. That's the only surefire way to get them all, and you save a little money to boot.

 

[lerath666]

that's the thing, I don't even want them all, i just have a few that i do want. the ones that are out now that I want to get, that i have never seen in a store.

REgeneration suit Superman
Superman variant
Sinestro
Flash
Wonder Woman
Cyborg
Booster Gold ( saw him AFTER I gave up)
Blue Beetle ( Same)

I wanted Starfire as well, but i gave up on the line before she was released.

In a year or so, I MIGHT go back and track them down, but for now, No.

 

[shiveringmelody]

And slightly better yet again

I just love that fig.....had hope he would be in series 10, but I've heard the series after.....along with a brown Man-Bat.

I continue to keep an eye out for Flash, but my local Walmart has yet to get series 7. Just a matter of time....

I also just order them online. No hassel and no fuss. With Mattel now shipping single-character-cases, all of the figures; including the variants; won't be hard to find at all.

Agreed.

What situation?

I'll get mine at SDCC this summer.

I agree, they have done a great job with this line but they have had a few misses with the scale of some characters.

The scale IMO is really good. The only real problems with scale have been with the DCSH figures. A few like Darkseid and Doomsday, really need to be redone as BAFs.

 

[memecomplex]

I've collected the DCUC from the start... but now I'm wondering if the money isn't better spent on some 1/6th figures instead. They're a nice throwback to the Super Powers era... but these figures just don't give me the same kick as an adult, and I don't like the plastics used, some are downright rubbery and nasty unlike the first 2 waves.

Anyone else thinking of quitting? Should I go on a little longer until Hawkwoman hits or call it a day? Sigh... too many toys...

 

[TwoFace]

Keep on trucking!

 

[Animal Mother.]

Quitting before Martian Manhunter gets made is unacceptable imo

 

[samueljd]

There are so many good characters in this line, that there is no point in quitting. If there are characters I don't like I just don't get them or sell them.

 

[memecomplex]

Thanks for the input guys... but this line is losing its charm for me... can't stand the softer PVC used in the new figures... how's the Flash line, are they back to the higher quality plastics of the first 2 waves?

I think they screwed the pooch on scale with Lobo, Sinestro and the different teen bods. Cyborg is huge man size...so is starfire and now kid flash is tiny...so is Robin. They also made Captain Cold short too.

It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm just saying they've missed the mark on a few here and there. Not to mention the ones you said.

I kind of also noticed the same about the PVC.
