Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!
Honestly I think none of the new figures being shown has that wow factor. Mattel, as usual, plays it too safe and reuses tons of body parts. Uncle Sam basically consist of a new head sculpt and no accessories. The body is from Joker/ Gentlemen Ghost which means he can't throw a damn punch like he did in Batman Brave and the Bold.
I think Mattel should really consider investing on a completely new sculpted action figure to WOW the collectors into supporting the sub. I mean Poison Ivy is great but that's only 1 figure which was announced last year. And not everyone is a Lantern fan so the multiple Lantern characters can be a hit or miss to the audience.
At the end, even though there are fans wanting to support the sub. $18 + tax + shipping for a 6" figure with none to minimum accessories is very steep. I would buy a DCUC Martian Manhunter @ Winner in an instance because $7.99 + tax is very acceptable. I think it would have worked better it Mattel was offer 2packs so to lessen the shipping cost. And a smaller packaging too.
