DC Universe Classics Figure Frustration

**wyldman11** · May 27, 2011, 09:44am

Someone posted to the mattycollector facebook page a picture from a japanese toy site. But looks like I can't see it now. Found another image

What, they couldn't have given us the Bang gun this time around? I'll probably get it, but only if I have a TRU coupon or it's on clearance. It's just too expensive for just one figure I really want and another that should have been that way from the beginning.

**Thatman** · May 27, 2011, 09:52am

I will definitely be picking that up. Yes, half of it is just correcting what should have been, but it's a really nice set.

**wyldman11** · May 27, 2011, 12:47pm

I have never seen either locally, but then I am going to have to rely on those I know near a TRU to pick me one up.

**Wonderboy_JMB** · May 27, 2011, 12:51pm

I won't be getting this set. Sure, I'd love a white faced Harley but I'm not paying all that to get it. I'm not THAT put off by the blue-faced one.

**FAKER II** · May 27, 2011, 12:57pm

I don't have Harley or the Joker yet so I may be picking this set up. More than anything, I'm encouraged to see that Mattel is finding ways to distribute previously canceled figures. So I still have hope for the light blue Superman. That's a figure I would pay the price of a 2-pack for.

**Skullface** · May 27, 2011, 01:59pm

Just be careful when you go to pick up this set when it's available - I forsee a LOT of Harley figure swaps with this one.....

**JAG2045** · May 27, 2011, 02:28pm

Just saw this on poeghostal, i'll definetley try and get this (even though i've passed on most of the 2 packs), i'd love a corrected Harley and her puddin'

I really like the hearts moulded into the plastic tray, thats a real nice touch

YES! I never got DCUC Harley and really wanted her, so I'll have to get this whenever it's available.

**Thatman** · May 31, 2011, 04:51pm

...and it's official. MTV Geek has pics of Wave 19:

Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Atom (Al Pratt)
Hawkman (Carter Hall, Golden Age)
Stargirl
Magog
Kobra
C&C: STRIPE

The Hawkman I could do without. Magog's cool-looking, but he's not high on my priority list.

The rest of the wave is great, though, and really rounds out the JSA....I just hope Mattel doesn't make us wait too much longer for Jay Garrick!

**Wonderboy_JMB** · May 31, 2011, 05:45pm

Courtney looks GREAT! I kind of want STRIPE but may end up passing. He looks less like a large chunky mecha and more like a humanoid robot and I seriously don't want modern Kobra or Magog. I'm on the fence about the Golden Agers.

Hmm im a bit unsure about this wave, none of the charecters are must haves for me, though I may try for Stargirl and STRIPE (as I know them from JLU) and Magog cause I love Kingdom Come.

THe JSA figs I may pass on (especially Hawkman- is there a difference between this one and the once we had in wave 6?) but I will probably decide once i've seen some more pics/reviews. Still holding out for a JSA Flash though!

Wave 19 truly does nothing for me. The only one I had remote interest in was Sandman, but I prefer the modern version over the GA version. Mattel made it easy for me to pass on this wave.

Yes, but just slightly. The golden Age Hawkman didn't have the hawk head silhouette on his medallion and his helmet had a "fiercer" look to it, with a full beak and a tongue sticking out. The Silver Age one had an upper beak that just extended over his real nose.

**Skullface** · May 31, 2011, 07:48pm

Here's pics taken from Fwoosh:

Magog

Sandman

Hawkman

Atom

Kobra

Stargirl

Oooh! I want that Kobra guy for King Hsss' high priessst!

**wyldman11** · May 31, 2011, 08:08pm

Courtney is about it for me from that wave.

**gbagok** · May 31, 2011, 09:24pm

Wow, STRIPE and stargirl look awesome (improved use of the Supergirl clown boots too). I've never been wild about Magog, but he looks good and Kobra is just awesome. I'm sorry that Gog isn't the CnC of course, but STRIPE is pretty good. Atom and Hawkman don't interest me, nor does Sandman honestly even though I know he's a big one. I'm annoyed there's still no Granny Goodness or Zod and Faora, or Aquaman characters like Mera, Tempest, or Ocean Master. I guess we'll get to them eventually if the line is still going strong.

With Copperhead as his servant!

**adol** · May 31, 2011, 09:24pm

Lovin' that Sandman!

**Sword-of-Grayskull** · May 31, 2011, 09:37pm

Except for Hawkman, I think they all look awesome! However, it's hard to get excited about DCUC anymore now that frozen joints have returned. I just don't have the urge to go through that frustration with quality control anymore. I haven't bought any new DCUC in a long time.

**FAKER II** · May 31, 2011, 10:05pm

I can't say that I want a single figure from wave 17 or 19. But since I want all of wave 18, skipping on wave 17 and 19 will help lesson the strain on the budget.

**King Kahn** · May 31, 2011, 11:25pm

wave 19 is just ...meh.. for me. I can pass since I was never a JSA fan.

Magog looks cool and for some reason makes me REALLY want a silverhawks line now....

Uh, how do you play to build STRIPE then if you only get Stargirl?

Anyway, except for Hawkman, they all look good, but why Magog over The Shade? Why such a cheap Hawkman over Jay?

EDIT:

Wait a minute, I just realized that STRIPE has NinjaRed's (KakuRanger) symbol. ***??

**SCB** · June 1, 2011, 01:38am

Magog will work great as a Cable custom.

They weren't even trying with the Hawkman.

Don't care for the Golden Age guys.

Stripe is a must have, so I'll be forced to buy some characters I have zero interest in.

**Sandman** · June 1, 2011, 03:00am

That Sandman figure is the first DCUC I have ever felt more than a passing interest in buying.
