DC Universe Classics Figure Thread

[capitalzero]

Work's got me going the other direction today, but if there's time this evening, I'll swing by.

[Zodac101]

Too bad I don't live anywhere near there??!!! LOL

[capitalzero]

I found my KM about a month ago in Robinson, so I'm not hurting for HIM, but I do need one for this trade.

hopefully I'll find one tomorrow.

[Skullface]

Got my Hawkman, Mr. Miracle, Dr. Impossible & Killer Moth I ordered from Impulse Creations today. Near perfection! Killer Moth's chest emblem is a *little* off, so I'll buy a replacement if I ever see him on pegs, but everyone else is great! Good paint apps and correct limbs/parts. Now if I can find the other 3 from this wave, I can go back to catching up on Wave 5, and looking out for the Wave 7 variants. (I have Wave 7 pre-ordered, but with the e-tailer variant screw-ups on Mattel's end, I'll need to find a helmetless Barda, and I dunno which Booster I'll get whenever they ship....)

[bskcase]

I am just thankful that the quality is improving. I actually have a wave that has no problems. My favorite from the new line so far has to be Hawkman and Captain Marvel. The 4H just captured their essence so well.

I'm hoping to get wave 7 soon, but my wallet needs a rest.

[zodak74]

I feel back in the game... cornerstorecomics just shipped my wave 6!

[Kevenn]

I hope they ship mine soon.

[bskcase]

I sort of got lucky or rather a friend of mine did. He was in Anaheim on Sunday and he happened on some wave 7 figures. He found a Big Barda and Captain Cold for himself, but he did find 2 Flash figures and he hooked me up with one.

Hopefully I'll get my hands on the rest later. I know Big Barda is a bit short, but I think he's actually one of the stand outs in this line. She's a beautiful figure and goes nicely with her hubby Mr. Miracle.

[Zodac101]

A buddy of mine picked up a Mothman, Hawkman, and both versions of Superman for me. Now I just need Shazam to complete Kalibak!!!! And also Dr. Impossible and the whole wave will be complete!!! and I will have the whole line once again..until wave 7 hits by me.

Green Arrow and Black Canary are beautiful! I want ten! lol.

[bskcase]

I have to admit that I'm blown away by the Black Canary. I'm so looking forward to these figures.

[Skullface]

Here's the blurtastic image of the "leaked" DCUC Joker:

[bskcase]

From talking to Toyguru last year at SDCC, the Joker and a few other figures have been long waiting in the wings. Black Canary was around for a long while inside the vault waiting. I'm actually glad that they are going to see the light of day soon enough.

I'm also waiting for Martian Manhunter and Zatanna to appear. I need to finish my Justice League of America collection.

[Marvelous0ne]

The Black Canary looks great, but I see such a problem with the fishnets coming out so wrong!

[Skullface]

It looks like they dropped the mid-thigh artic on Canary, and she'll just have hip, knee & boot-top movement. Still hope it doesn't mangle the fishnets.

I smell a hooded Green Arrow/Black Canary 2-pack down the road. (Hopefully they'd lose the blue on Canary's legs for the more modern look.) Maybe they'll sculpt a new head for Canary with a "Sonic Screech" expression....

[Marvelous0ne]

Just read on Action-figures.com that The Joker will be a SDCC exclusive. Is that right? That sucks! But I guess he'll be available through Matty. So that takes a sting out of it a bit. But why make him an exclusive?

[Zodac101]

Man...why him???? I figured it would be another obscure character.

Oh well, guess if it is Joker I will be passing on him. As I already have a Joker from this line.

[RocketPunch]

I'm glad the Joker is getting redone. The old fig is way too small, under articulated, and lacking in accessories.

But he shouldn't be an exclusive.

[Skullface]

I'll wait until Toyguru announces Joker as a SDCC exclusive before getting all riled up.

On good news, I completed my Wave 6 today! Stumbled into a Wal-Mart I hadn't been to in like 5 years, and they just stocked the pegs with 2 full cases. Hopefully Wave 5 will get stocked sometime by me.....

HOLY CRAP! Just saw this on Fwoosh, and I REALLY hope it's legit. Sounds like we have the makings of this year's SDCC exclusive:



I smell him coming with his 2 buddies in a 2.5-pack. Awesome for Superfriends fans, and I think most non-SF fans will at least be pleased that if this is the case, they won't have to worry about it taking up a spot at retail.....

[Zodac101]

Now if the Wonder Twins an Gleek are made...I'm down for them!!!!!

That would be awesome.

And on a side note, I found my Silver Captian Atom today!!!

Also, the Meijers by me had all of wave two figures!! Even both red an blue Sups!! Still had the blue face Harley..which for some reason looked worse than the first version of her.

Most of the Wave 2 figures that shipped from the NEW factory are much worse quality than the initial batch released from the old factory almost a year ago.

I also hit a Meijer today, and they were swamped with 11 Green Lanterns, 1 Red Supes, 1 long hair Aquaman, & 1 modern Firestorm.

Well, hot on the heels of Gleek, here's Zan:

I was at the panel with BCRDuke and another .Orger. The info is mostly right ... just a few clarifications:
-Mini-Atom was stated to be an "accessory" for Giganta. (I guess it's just a way to get Mini-Atom into people's collections by packing him with one of the wave 8 figures)
-4-5 waves of DCUC in addition to the Walmart wave for 2009
-They're working on making flight stands right now, but there wasn't any guarantee that they'd be out this year.
-The army builder wave is for Infinite Heroes

Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't exactly looking forward to a whole wave of 6" army builders.....

[capitalzero]

There is no confirmation that Zan and Gleek are authentic.

if they are, I hope they're a Matty twopack with Jayna.

but I really hope they're just customs, because if they're not, then Matty lied about this line being COMIC ONLY.

and I CERTAINLY don't want them in a C&C wave. I just don't want to have to buy any of this cartoon stuff.
