Do they honestly think that when they reboot 75 year old characters that fans are just going to go crazy for the DCnU figs? I can guarantee that I will not buy a single one. Do they remember how "well" that idea went for Marvel in the 90s?

It's probably because now they have to figure out how they can process refunds. They better do it quick because they had no problem taking the money out of my bank account immediately, so they better put it back immediately.
Mighty, do you really think everyone hates the new universe? I sure don't. I like the idea of having soemthing else be the focus for the next few years. I mean, they brought the Multiverse back, it is about time they use the damn thing.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

Honestly, my guess would be that instead of the headache of trying to refund all the subscribers $30, Mattel's deciding on what figure(s) they *WILL* go ahead and produce for the subscribers $30 sign-up fee as a "This is all we are able to give you for signing up". You know they don't want to give back any $$$, let alone the fact that DR is run by a couple of kids from the short bus incapable of handling such a request...
Personally, I'd prefer 2 of the regular 6" figures as opposed to a C&C sized. (Unless it was Doomsday) Gimme Jay & Ivy, and I'll be happy...

I have a feeling they are doing number crunching. My guess is the 100% was a safe bet on return with their plan. Now they are figuring with what they got if they can still make it happen or return or lower item per item output, or have fewer unique figures released. Also taking into account how easy it will be do a return, because if it's easy or difficult affects any of the above options.
This isn't something that is decided in a single afternoon.

Man.... I just want the rest of the Metal Men. They are the only figures I want! (from this line.)
When will we get our Songster figure Mattel???
I give them credit for trying to keep the obscure figs going. I really do, yes it's a business not a charity, but they are trying hard (albeit very clumsily) to keep making and selling some very cool figures. I've just gotten into collecting from this line, being that Canadian retailers are worse for finding stuff, the line only had my casual interest, I'm focusing on collecting all the black characters at the moment, but it's making me want anyone who looks cool. I want to build apache cheif but I don't want toyman or cpt boomerang.
With the way the line is going, I doubt I'd get any heroes of colour outside of John Stewart and MAYBE steel. (I'm hoping this new direction will give me a 2nd shot at getting Steel. though)

I highly doubt it. I would imagine they will stick to issuing all new characters that have never been done, rather than re-doing ones that are already out there in one form or another. The only do-overs I would expect are ones like Doomsday in a larger scale, since that's one that so many people want.
Toyguru posted this yesterday:
http://forums.mattycollector.com/eve...117#5991026117No, we won't have an update until at min next week. It may be longer. We are exploring every option possible to see if we can make this work and that will take some time. Fans have been very excited for the sub and we want to try and make this work, it is just difficult not hitting the bare min we needed to. We're looking into many scenarios. Thanks for your understanding while we keep exploring.

Hmm. Regular DCUC figures reuse a lot of parts already, but I wonder if, to make it doable, they'll have to work with existing parts for the large figures as well. They can probably get a lot out of that Kilowogg buck. It's just a shame they never did CnC Doomsday. I was waiting for that one. Of course maybe they can save him for a Superman tie-in line when that next movie comes out.
They can easily get a Doomsday though. Sure, the knees, head, elbows, and shoulders need to be new, but they can use Kilowog's upper legs, torso, waist, and biceps.

I just find it amusing that the Wal-Mart DC endcaps were supposed to go up the beginning of the month, and most have not seen them until the past week or so.
Mattel even posted last week that they were being taken down soon!
And even funnier that the majority of DCUC figures on the display are Wave 14, and NOT the timed-exclusive Wave 18....

I haven't seen Wave 17 at retail yet...![]()

So Toyguru said that the Walmart end caps are coming to an end this week, but how is that possible? Doesn't Walmart first have to make an endcap before it can stop one?
