DC Universe Classics Figure Frustration

There is the rumored wave later this year that is supposed to be a JSA based wave, and the Flash listed is like Jay.

Very true - and to be frank, I'll be very surprised if Zoom and Ivy are omitted - just a question of actually getting to them.

I think my "Must-have" list has been narrowed down quite a bit, but there are ALWAYS others I need to have to feel like my collection is really complete:

90's Kyle Rayner GL
90's hook-hand Aquaman
Mera
Poison Ivy
Huntress
Swamp Thing C&C
Doomsday C&C
Crimson Avenger
Phantom Stranger
Felix Faust
Granny Goodness
Hippolyta
Sgt. Rock
Mad Hatter
Hawk (Hank Hall)
Dove (Don Hall)
Fire
Ice
Classic Captain Boomerang
Jay Garrick (rumored for Wave 19)
Wesley Dodds Sandman (rumored for Wave 19)
Lois Lane
Jimmy Olson
Alfred
Commissioner Gordon
Harvey Bullock
Business suit Lex
Trickster
Zoom
Ra's Al Ghul
Talia Al Ghul
Black Mask
Black Orchid
Atrocitus
Larfleeze
Warlord
Ocean Master
Circe
Vixen
Jade
Salaak
Arisia
Parallax (Hal Jordan)
Ace & Krypto
6" Apache Chief
6" Giganta

OK, nevermind - I'll NEVER have a complete collection!

I finally found Martian Manhunter last night. His right leg was stuck. I tried the heat and freeze trick and that loosened it right up.

I know that everyone had been saying that there are Martian Manhunters out there with incorrect smaller biceps, and in some cases even one of each. I don't know what I got but they look pretty bulky to me and they have the veins on them that are consistent with the rest of arm sculpt. Whichever the case, I'm going to pretend I have the correct ones because I'm happy with him as is.

It always surprises me (not just on this board, but everywhere I talk about DCUC) that more people don't have Wally West Flash on their "Must Have" list, especially a Mike Wieringo-based Wally with the right triangles for the wings on his head, white eyes, and the deep scarlet and gold colors. Both Mattel and DC Direct keep giving us Barry, but at this point I feel like I'm never going to have a Wally in my collection.

Looking at mine that I got within the last week, looks like he has the smaller biceps. First figure I got that was off, they did have two at my store but they looked identical.

If you can look at the biceps and tell that they are small then I must have gotten the correct ones. (I don't mean to rub it in.) Because mine looks fine. And they had 2 Martian Manhunters where I picked him up as well. But they weren't identical. One of them had 2 left feet. It's a good thing I noticed because he was the one I was going to buy.

**JAG2045** · February 17, 2011, 06:16pm

Scored the Creeper and Riddler today, there both cool figs, so far i've noticed much better paint & QC on this wave, hopefully it will remain this way for the future waves

Regarding the Batman Legacy line, will the figures be in DCUC scale & style? So if they release a Commissioner Gordon will I be able to display it with my other DCUC figs? Also has a list of figures been released for this line?

I didn't know of the fault, the other one could have had the right biceps I was more looking at the head. I didn't have an option on heads but was making sure. Having had no problems like that, even looking after I have gotten home I forget that stuff like that can happen. I was more like finally K-mart got in the wave than anything else. I am still OK with it, he was more gotten for a Justice League set than anything.

Some will - there are DCUC size/scale figs (SP Mr. Freeze, Golden Age Joker, and another Bats, with rumors of a second wave including Catman coming), but the line will also include Movie Masters figures (like Gordon) and Arkham City figures, with their own style.

**EldestSon** · February 20, 2011, 04:20pm

found creeper, hex, and mercury today. nice figures, but the double jointed knees do NOTHING for mercury and creeper. i'm all for more articulation, but this articulation is unusable because the two of them (especially creeper) have almost zero ankle articulation. so you can bend their knees into super squat poses, but you can't stand them because you can't move their feet to match.

**JAG2045** · February 27, 2011, 01:35pm

Scored a Jonah Hex and Black Hand today,

Black hands ok, nothing special- I only got him to complete Arkillo

who is a pretty cool CNC

However I really like the sculpt for Hex and the weapons he comes with (I wish more of the figures came with accessories) but I like how they have got rid of the annoying inner tray twist ties/rubber bands with this wave

JAG2045

**gbagok** · February 27, 2011, 03:47pm

Now that I've seen Superman All-Star, I was Bar-El and Lilo. More two-packs that should have been, Mattel!

I haven't seen anything new in stores though. I'm so glad I can get stuff online.

Dude, I totally agree!

**Alexx** · March 4, 2011, 10:26pm

OMG this line still exists!! I actually found the CURRENT WAVE. Can't you believe it?! I was surprised as heck to see the actual wave that is supposed to be out right now. I'm still shocked! I mean, it doesn't matter for the previous waves, since they never showed up and probably never will, but hey, something's here!

I bought Mercury, since I'm trying to collect the Metal Men (though I'll probably never see Gold) and Azrael Batman, 'cause he's using the same mold as that red one with the flamethrower in that old "Batman through the ages" toyline (or whatever it was).

So, neat! I'll bet you anything that this will be the only time I see this wave, though. Next thing I know they'll put out another stock of Wonder Woman and Green Arrow.

**FAKER II** · March 10, 2011, 06:33pm

You never know what you’ll find at a discount clearance store. I just went into Tuesday Morning and found the Cyborg Superman/Mongul and Green Lantern/Abin Sur 2 packs for just $15 each. I just got into DCUC less than a year ago and had missed out on both of those.

**Thatman** · March 17, 2011, 10:08am

Not a huge update, but in perusing the various Mattel Q&As from this month, they mention in a few places that the themed waves are going away.

Wave 19 will be partially-themed, and Wave 20 will not have a theme.

So since they've confirmed at least two Golden Agers in Wave 19, I'm assuming that the partial theme of the JSA will stand, but some of that rumored lineup may be switched out, but that Wave 20's GL theme will be broken up (but Nekron's already been confirmed as the C&C.)

I think that's probably for the best, so they can get back to gradually working on teams bit by bit. (Doom Patrol, Metal Men, etc.)

**JAG2045** · April 20, 2011, 05:42pm

Managed to score Az-Bats and mercury last week so finally completed Bane. I have to say wave 16 has definetly been my favourite wave in quite some time

Now need to find GL wave 2

and wave 17 (though i'm torn because im not really a fan of the deputy rainbow lanterns but really want the anti-monitor CNC

I have to check out Tuesday Morning around here. They have at least 2 or 3 of them in town. I just started collecting these in February and just got my 75th figure on Monday.

Well, the good news is that Wave 17 isn't even out.....yet.

I managed to get a case of GL Wave 2 from my LCS 2 weeks ago. Skallox & Dex-Starr are the standouts for me!

Whatever happened to the LoSH wave on Matty? Did I miss something about that being canceled?

August is the date now, I believe. I think they only just finished revealing the sculpts at WonderCon, unless there's someone they haven't shown yet.

Thanks! Wow, I thought they'd shown everyone at SDCC. It was a big wave as I recall however.
