DC Universe Classics Figure Frustration

[Barbecue17]

My Croc and Freeze are on their way from BBTS. I'm still reeling a bit from the price, but I love this line. I will be fine if they don't make Grundy or Clayface, though, given what those will cost. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they announced a Wave 4 at SDCC, just so I can get a Talia and Hugo to include.

Me, too. DC Direct also needs to put out their own Two-Face and Nightwing. Maybe even a "mourning Harley" from the DLC. She'd make a cool exclusive, at least.

[SCB]

Got Freeze for $20 out the door with my store discount. Not worth the retail price due to the size and lack of articulation, but perfect for what I paid.

Let's get ready to kick some ICE







Stay COOL bird boy!



What killed the dinosaurs? The ICE age!



Allow me to break the ICE

Oh this is going to be so fun. I just got my new debit card today since my other one expired on Saturday, and when I updated my new card with Matty, they said they don't know if the charge will go through for this month's DCU sub since it was was already preauthorized on the card that is now expired. That means I'm mostly likely going to have my Starman and Rocket Red sold on me again, AND my Metron still has yet to ship out.

Oh this is so lovely. the Atrocitus I got from another use here has the leg molded into waist syndrome AND his head does not move. Lovely. I love have to fix my figures because Mattel is too freaking lazy to make sure they work fine. Not to mention the leg issue is unacceptable given this is a smaller produced line.

"Kyle Rayner & Kilowog action figure 2-Pack is the first in an entirely new line of action figures sized at 3.75” from DC Collectibles. This new scale will only be available at conventions."

Itty bitty, but better. MUCH better...

Yet they have a (not so much perfectly) good Matty Collector website for which to sell these but they go for conventions only

They look so much better than their last foray in to the 4 inch market.

[Mr. Shokoti]

I'm assuming Ksensor's news of DC Collectible's SDCC Green Lantern 2-pack was merged, but, considering it's not a part of DC Universe Classics or from Mattel, I feel it should have its own thread.

Those aren't from Mattel but DC Collectibles(which is what replaced DC Direct).

They look cool and I'd love a smaller line of DCU toys(Super Powers is one of my favorite toylines ever), but I'm not going to deal with scalper prices after every convention.

[Dr Kain]

Did anyone see that Entertainment Earth listed this:

DC Unlimited Wave 1 Action Figure Case
Classic heroes and villains of the DC Universe get the makeover and re-launch in The New 52! The DC Unlimited series feature an amazing assortment of 7-inch scale action figures. They feature tons of detail and plenty of articulation. Get yours! Ages 13 and up.

This DC Unlimited Wave 1 case contains 6 individually packaged figures (subject to change):
Superman New 52 / Flash New 52 / Hawkman New 52

Batman Unlimited Wave 1 Action Figure Case
Batman and his greatest foes and allies through the ages! The legacy of the Dark Knight and his allies and foes are all captured in exquisite detail in this Batman Unlimited action figure line! Articulated and detailed figures with display stand!

This Wave 1 case contains 6 individually packaged 6-inch scale action figures (subject to change):
Batgirl New 52 / Penguin (classic comic) / Batman New 52 Redeco

Must be the "rebranded" series. Wonder if they will cancel this one months after listing what figures are included and then say they will be completely rebranding the line in 2014 like they did with All-Stars. At least we might have a chance to get Penguin, and hopefully Larfleeze.

I never realised they were not from Mattel

That is even worse because DC Collectibles have done a better job with the 4 inch figure than Mattel did. And Mattel have a World Class Research Facililty.

[JonWes]

I really love those Green Lantern figures. If they don't make them a total pain to get I'd love to buy them. Love the Oa playset, though I know it's not more than a glimmer in Geoff Johns pretty, pretty eye.

I'll probably never be called a Matty Apologst again, but I feel, overall, DC Direct has put out better DC toys than Mattel. Except for a few lines(like their Crisis On Infinite Earths), they even had better QC.

[Dr Kain]

Until DC Direct learns how to copy Mattel's leg articulation and make non-twig quality joints, I cannot agree with you.

[Howlor]

Just a heads up for anyone looking for the DKR Movie Masters, I found Blake at the Fremont, CA Frys just a few minutes ago, so it's starting to trickle out. I also left behind a goggles-down Catwoman since I got a goggles-up version and that's the one I prefer. No sign of the mystery figure, but I'll bet that one doesn't show until after the movie. I now have a near complete Batsignal. Just need the light-up part...

[Dr Kain]

Oh... my... god...



I just got my Metron package today...





with...




Atrocitus...






Now I bought him twice because Matty told me they accidentally sold mine, so I bought him from a user here.

[SCB]

The DC Direct Croc actually has the worst quality control. Almost everyone who has one has reported broken arms.

Yeah. It broke my heart to finally return him. That's the first DC Direct figure I've ever had QC with. (the arm joint was made of clear plastic- must have had some problems with the ol' sonic welder). My shop has tried to contact Diamond for a replacement, but they told them they were on backorder and didn't know if/when anymore would be released. For now, my Arkham Asylum 4 pack Croc is making do in my Arkham Asylum/City display.

Found MM Gordon and goggles-up Catwoman on Friday. I like both of them quite a bit. Any idea what to do with the bat logo from the broken Batsignal lens? The package makes it look like it attaches to the lens, but I can't even get it to lay on the edges, much less attach.

[Dr Kain]

SO has Pixel Dan reviewed anyone after Jay?

Oh and surprise surpise, Matty could not charge my subs because they are still trying to charge me old card.

Is the mystery figure not shown at the card back of the blister?

I got MM Batman, Bane, Alfred and waiting to receive Gordon who cost me an eye and a half with shipping. Now I just need to get goggles down Catwoman and the other 2

Nope:



And are JGL's ears really this big?

[SCB]

The mystery figure was leaked to be

 

Ras Al Ghul by a retailer

[Rhanen]

And are JGL's ears really this big?

It does not look bad, nice figure, although quite happy for a Gotham cop Lol. Still I want to check what his part in the movie.

Are there any pics?

Hope I can get the rest soon and they don't go to overpriced. Catwoman is still quite expensive for the moment

[Dr Kain]

The mystery figure was leaked to be

If true, I hope it isn't

 

just Ken Watanabe pretending to be Ras and is actually Liam.

[Howlor]

The mystery figure was leaked to be

Well, it's rumored to be, anyway. To be fair, it's really hard to imagine that it's anyone not from that bloodline.

[SCB]

If true, I hope it isn't

 

Liam Neeson isn't playing him, it's Josh Pence playing a younger version of him. And it's not a rumor, a retailer got the list from Mattel. I was hoping for Talia personally, since the Hatheaway Catwoman is a great female figure and another one would be just as good I assume.

[Mr. Shokoti]

Well, it looks like DC Collectibles might not make the 3 3/4 line convention excusives or Green Lantern only depending on sales & feeback of the Kyle/Kilowog 2-pack.
