May = CATRA & Green Lantern & Zodac 2-Pack -don't post pics or links to ToyFare scans

[flitzi]

Vs Pack with Guns, hmmm...??
I think it's Zodac vs. Green Lantern (with the rifle construct).

I hope it´s not another Zodac. There seems not to be too much demand for this character, and we already have his "repaint" in the form of Zodak.
I couldn´t think of any other color variant for Zodac that would justify a vs. Set.

My guess is on Minicomic colors Trap Jaw, too. Or maybe Roboto, but from the two I´d prefer Trap Jaw.

[Bulkhide]

If it is Trap Jaw, other than Deathstroke (which I kinda don't see Mattel making again), who would he fight? I doubt we'll get yet another Cyborg figure.

[MegaGearMax]

It's probably either Zodak, Trap Jaw or Roboto. My money is on Zodac and his white gloves. IIRC, many fans at the time, wanted a more Filmation-like Zodac.

[flitzi]

You´ve got a point there. But would you be willing to spend another 35 bucks for just a pair of white gloves?
For me, the DC figures are basically useless. A Zodac was $20 when he was available, and some white color costs about $2. I guess most Filmation-Fans could have just painted their Zodacs if they wanted one.

Or Strobo??

But I bet on a Green TrapJaw

[oICEMANo]

Adora, Man-At-Arms, Webstor and Optik have guns too..

[RockinHard]

I call Zodac with white gloves.

[danielsan52]

Or Strobo??

But I bet on a Green TrapJaw

I wish Strobo, but I can't even find if he is "on the table", "in the cards" whatever. And Toyguru stated about his availability: "already been answered".

As for Green TrapJaw, I hope they get it mini-comics proper by using He-Man legs and left arm.

[Tallstar]

Look what Toyguru said about the new DCUC vs MOTUC pack:

The next pack will be revealed in the Jan shipping issue of Toy Fare and it will involve characters with guns.

Interesting don't you think? Mini comics Trap Jaw perhaps?!

A couple possibilities there, but I think they'll probably stick with the 8-back for now. So I'll guess Zodac.

[Kinghsss456]

i wish we would get a green trap jaw but I think we are going to get a Zodac and as much as i would buy hate to buy the 2 pack for 35 and just have the DCUC figure sit in a box I would buy him to build my Cosmic/Mystic enforcer army.

[MegaGearMax]

I agree with the 8-back being safest, although mini-comic Trap Jaw is pretty much the most consistently asked for mini-comic repaint besides Blonde Teela.

Trap Jaw only needs to come with his gun attachment and He-Man legs, instead of Trap Jaw legs.

I think Roboto is too new...

[Count Marzo]

I'm hoping it's Green Trap Jaw with his gun attachment.

I'm as big a Filmation fan as one can be, but I wouldn't be too thrilled with a "more Filmation-like" Zodac with white gloves. That just doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm perfectly happy with the vintage styled one I already have.

[MegaGearMax]

Adora, Man-At-Arms, Webstor and Optik have guns too..

• Adora--how would she be repainted like? She has no alternate colors, unless Mattel is making a Horde version, but that would take new tooling for the Horde logos.

• Man-At-Arms with reddish brown fur is a good idea, but I see him coming with only his mace and clean shaven head.

• Webstor--a 200X light blue repaint?

• Optikk--Like Adora, Optikk has no alternate colors.

[Sir Reilly]

My money's on minicomic colors Trap Jaw vs' Deathstroke.

[Beastmaster]

Since they both have more or less the same job, I also guess Zodac vs Green Lantern (which would be cool, 'cause I don't have a GL figure yet).

[bcrduke]

So no one thinks my idea that it could be blonde tiara Teela with a repainted Adora gun is a possibility?

She could be VS. Deathstroke too... And she would be a smart choice for a few reasons:

-no reissue yet (so some people need her)

-the opportunity to correct the bobble head with their supposed new shorter neck peg

-the opportunity to correct the hard plastic of the outfit


The only DC characters that came with guns (or gun-like things):

Deathstroke
John Stewart (a Green Lantern w/a gun construct)
Cyborg (laserish attachment)
Kamandi (waaaay too new)
Tex Hex (not out yet lol)
Lobo (not gonna happen)
Mr. Freeze (that would be weird)
Penguin (umbrella gun)
Killer Moth
Captain Cold
Blue Beetle

I think that's it. I'm probably missing somebody.

[urbanmyth]

Deathstroke makes sense. He hasn't been rereleased yet and is a popular enough character to include for some name recognition. I don't have him yet so I'm hoping it's him.

And bcrduke, you forgot Vigilante and the Parademons but I'm not expecting it to be them.

[Reboot]

Didn't they say all future TRU packs would be *straight* repaints not too long back? If so, giving Zodac Withacee the gloved forarms, or Trap-Jaw a He-Man lower body, would be out of the question.

Imcidentally, on straight repaints... if the Marlena's Dress Principle holds true generally, what about a Trap-Jaw with his gun-arm/leg plates coloured to match his helmet/jaw?

I'm thinking that they would simply paint Zodac's hands and forearms white, ala Mer-Man.

As for Trap Jaw, I'm hoping that that would be an exception since the 2 paks are a new SKU anyway.

[Eterniandreams]

I hope Trapjaw but expect White glove Zodac..

[CAIRO]

Trrapjaw would be really worth it but I expect zodac

[HordeFan]

I'm thinking Trap Jaw OR MAA vs Deathstroke OR Cyborg.

[Reboot]

Eh? No they're not. They were a new SKU back when He-Man/Superman and Skeletor/Lex showed up. Stratos/Hawkman, Mer-Man/Aquaman and the four unknown entries are continuations of the SAME SKU from Mattel's perspective (when they talk about a "new SKU", they mean "a new type of product". So Battle Cat started the "Beast SKU", for instance, and the late 2011 vehicle will be the first in the "vehicle SKU").

And besides, "minicomic TJ" was specifically asked about in a Q&A:

http://thefwoosh.com/2010/11/ask-matty-11110
5. So far, in the TRU DC/MOTU packs, there have only been paint variations, but how about the “green” Trap Jaw from the minicomics? He would have different parts from the original TJ, but all of the parts already exist, would something like the be on the table for the packs?

The 2011 TRU packs will only be repaints. We won’t be making any tooling changes.

So there you go. If you want a TRU Green TJ in 2011, it'll have exactly the same parts as the standard MotUC TJ. You'd have to wait for one of the four MC variant slots a year to come free to get a "minicomic Trap-Jaw".

Whereas something like this would be doable via TRU :

[goatboy413]

Ram-man please

[Reboot]

Ram-man please

Not going to happen - the May figure's a female; and the two-pack figure's a repaint of a character they've already done.
