Looking foward to Mallah and Brain and Wally West Flash.
"These are the days of high adventure"
I'm looking forward for Freddy Freeman (got to get Shazam & Mary Marvel yet though) and the Huntress.
I recently got new DC Unlimited New 52 Batman and I must say that it is a really nice figure, I'm impressed. I'm wanting to get new Batgirl also and waiting for classic colors Penguin

Penguin really looks cool. You will like that fig.Originally Posted by Rhanen
Penguin is awesome, but he cannot stand on a Super Powers display stand. The holes in his feet are too big.

Oh yeah, I took some of these for some awesome fun and because someone asked:
And this was my picture of what arrived on Feb 19th:
I got my Elongated Man yesterday. He is pretty cool, but seriously, I don't get Mattel. This figure should have easily had double jointed knees and elbows. Not to mention they should have made it so you can share parts with Plastic Man, especially in the neck.
Sadly, with Plas, it's all in the individually sculpted torso. Not only was the detail sculpted in (the one time I actually wished they had just painted the detail like the lacing in front on so they could potentially re-use it for Ralph), but the release button means there would be extra expense in assembling him even if the torso was re-usable. With the bare bones, "we can only add a few new parts to each figure" approach being taken with the DC sub, the latter would have doomed poor Ralph to mediocrity body-wise even if the former hadn't. And I doubt they could have done him for SDCC this year or any other in the future; it seems we're lucky DC will approve anything that isn't the bloody New 52 these days. Must make Mattel all warm and fuzzy having spent who knows how much for access to the whole 75+ years of DC characters and then find out that DC will only approve stuff from the past couple of years outside a small online sub...

Meh, it's not like Mattel really seems to give a damn about the line anymore anyway. I'll be surprised if the line in any form survives beyond the first half of next year, let alone this year.
And it's funny that Mattel says they don't have a budget to give Ralph many accessories, but then they don't even bother giving Wally Flash and Phantom Stranger any accessories to begin with. Hell, does Capt Marvel Jr come with anything at all? What about Fire? Oh, but the give Larfleeze a stupid handle when he doesn't have one in the comic.
Which I don't get; when they made orange Luthor, they re-did the lantern with no handle (which I believe required a new mold), and even made a point of pointing out that they did it to make it correct to the comics. Not sure why they wouldn't re-use that mold after making it special for the orange battery...Oh, but the give Larfleeze a stupid handle when he doesn't have one in the comic.

The handle is there to remind us how many of the Lanterns can't hold their own lantern cause it's a funny joke.

I love it! You can see the shadow of Romero's mustache on the lip, just as Mattel said!
For someone who grew up on the show, these are pure nirvana. Now what do we have to do to get Tut-Tut?

New frustration for me.....I have a DCUC sub, and all of the offerings really aren't doing much for me. I actually got the sub for my kids, because they were heavy into DCUC, but the figure selection is really bad.....I mean, really bad. I won't be DCUC subbing again.....
^ I almost subbed, but decided to pass, as 3 subs would have been alot to handle along with playing catch up on MOTUC. Kinda glad I didn't because I only want Mallah, Huntress & maybe Larfleeze so far.
NO DYLAMUG? WE DIAL A MOB!
Thats kinda the problem with a DC sub there are far more characters a factions then anything MOTU can offer. I personally have really enjoyed this year and lasts but i love the more obscure DC characters as much as i love the mains Elongated man is responsible for one of my all time favourite comic panels, saint walker is great, wally i love ... red hood i really want cause i love morrisons batman run, but i can see how this is a line strong on cherry picking and how the line goes ahead despite weak subs, i think matty knows its DOS with this line but its different people with each figure for the most part, unlike MOTU were its the same cherry pickers just in different numbers
I did not subscribe either since most figures were not a big deal for me, especially oversized ones, but I do really hope that Huntress shall not be some sort of DCUC sub exclusive ala Fangman is for MOTU.
BTW, have you seen Mattel DC SDCC exclusive 66's Batman Batusi?

What do you mean? Phantom Stranger, Saint Walker, Larfleeze, Elongated Man, Wally West Flash, Huntress, and Fire are all must have characters.
Just looked it up and that it is fantastic. He danced like that is far too many episodes and it's perfect!
I wish I felt the way you do buddy. Huntress yeah, Phantom Stranger maybe.......Don't need another Flash, literally have 7 already. I know, I know, this is Wally West Flash, but so can be one of the others...ha. To be fair though, I can't really say who I would want in the sub......no interest in more colored lanterns.....Elongated Man was a must, I'm just not a fan I guess.....idk, I would love to see more Golden Age stuff, maybe some fun sub exclusives...I think maybe they might just be hitting the bottom of the barrel. I LOVE DC by the way. Love it. Well pre-new 52 stuff anyway.....My second favorite toy/comic behind MOTU.....just haven't seen much to excite me lately.....
Personally, I could have lived without Wally as Flash - when I get him, he's going right in the variants box, but I can't complain about his inclusion...far too many people have been asking for him for too long, and he's a logical variant, so I can't begrudge his fans. I do wish they'd not given him a monthly slot, but rather, found some other way of getting him out there, but it's not a huge deal for me.
Other than that, I'm completely happy with the character selection we've seen thus far. I do wish they'd gone a different direction with Red Hood (using the Mr. Terrific body with jacket), but otherwise I have to agree with Dr. Kain on this one - Elongated Man, Phantom Stranger, Fire, Huntress, Captain Marvel Jr., and M. Mallah & The Brain are all classic characters that fill holes in the collection...heck, now we have a complete Satellite-Era-JLA. I know the Rainbow Lanterns aren't everyone's cup of tea, but personally, it's good to have Saint Walker and Larfleeze.
I would like to see more villains, though, and hope we see a few in the last remaining slots of this year.
Really, at this point, they've done just about all of the A, B, and C-list characters. Those few that remain - Ice, Vixen and Ra's al Ghul come to mind, are probably on the short-list, as we've discussed. Once you get beyond them, the remaining characters are all more generally obscure, and I think everyone has a legitimate claim...but as they're not as 'main', then I think you'll see more of some people being really happy with them, and others feeling their wish lists aren't being tagged.
For example, as I've probably said before, I'd absolutely want a Zauriel figure. More Batman villains of any era, or Flash rogues, etc. I know a lot of people want to see Johnny Thunder or Ma Hunkel, or the Chief, or more members of the LOSH (I hear Dawnstar's name a lot). And hopefully they'll all get made - but the only way we're going to see any of them is through the sub, which I think is doing a pretty good job of trying to plug the major holes and finish out the line. I just think sometimes you have to deal with one or two figures you're not crazy about to get the ones you do want - which in a way is not dissimilar from having to buy a figure in a wave you don't really want to get the C&C part.
"That's very interesting...but silly." - Man-At-Arms
The selection is a very good one. Of course with that said my plans this year were only to pick up Saint Walker, Larfleeze, and Huntress.
while I love Captain Marvel never got into Marvel Jr. Fire is a cool figure etc, but as I am trying to cut down on spending this year a pass for me. The others are all great but fall into the same realm as fire. I would love to see a Ra's and Indigo 1 to finish off the leaders of the Rainbow Corps. I probably should have gotten two Atrocitus one to keep packed and one to open like I did with Walker. But I have also debated opening up my DCUC figures. I just live a in dusty place and cleaning a plastic bubble is so much easier than an actual action figure.

I would agree. I think the character selection has been really good for DCIE in both 2012 and 2013. It feels like Mattel is really adding characters to help complete teams that fans have wanted for a long time. I think this will be considered the best DC action figure line ever in terms of depth and consistency of style. It's something DCD/DCC has not strived for even though they have been doing it much longer.
I have sold most of my Mattel DC figures, but only because I am getting into the Sideshow Premium Formats and I just don't have the space to display 200+ action figures so something had to go. They were all boxed up and I don't think I would ever have a place to display them so now some other collectors can enjoy them. I have kept a few of my favorites though (Metal Men, Etrigan, Dead Man, Spectre, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Uncle Sam, Phantom Stranger)
Well, for me, yes, I'd like them all, but I only have about 20 DCUC guys, so I'm not cherry picking, I'm cherry prioritizing.
Hard to justify Saint Walker & Phantom Stranger when I don't have personal favorites like Lobo, Deathstroke, Black Adam, Joker, Harley, etc. Now if they put 2 CAC's in next years, I'm sold. Huge sucker for those.
