AFI has some awesome early shots of DCIE Lead, the the third oversized figure for the 2012 subscription program!
Available in December of this year, Lead is build using the C&C Darkseid buck, which may seem too big, but works well considering it was the best option Mattel had. Lead doesn't feature the diecast hands or clip-on accessories of the previous Metal Men, but his tunic is a rubber over piece more like a bib then skirt, allowing the figure to retain all its articulation.
DCIE members can expect Lead in their mail box this December, while non-subscribers can get him off MattyCollector.com!

If anyone was wondering why the Mattypalooza panel at NYCC 2012 didn't include anything regarding DCUC/DCIE, Toy Guru posted on the Matty Collector boards that the DCUC team was not at NYCC, thus they couldn't do a panel.
Also, it was also announced on the boards by Toy Guru that the guns included with DCIE Red Hood will be red to make this version of the character more comic accurate.
And finally, also over at the Matty Collector boards, Toy Guru has admitted that they are still looking for a home for the Flashpoint Plastic Man figure revealed early in 2012, but that, as of right now, no plans have been made to release him.
Again, not much, but some stuff to think about regardless.

The Fwoosh has another first look up for DC Fan's today - DCIE Uncle Sam with Doll Man! Being released in November through Mattel's mail away club, Uncle Sam and Doll Man kick off another classic, and much wanted, team in 6-inch scale - The Freedom Fighters!
The figure, for the most part, is made up from parts taken from past DCUC figures - Gentlemen Ghost and Joker, with some new pieces thrown in to make him the character he is.
This figure looks great, and his face and head sculpt really capture the essence of the classic character. His face is full of personality and, the longer hair and beard visage, reminds me of the characters appearance in Infinite Crisis.
Although he doesn't come with any accessories, Uncle Sam does come packed with a second Freedom Fighter member - Dollman. He is small, but not as small as the tiny Elasti-Girl figure included with Mattel's DCIE October offering. Although Doll Man features no articulation, his paint is nicely applied and he really fits in well with the larger Uncle Sam figure.
Another win from Mattel! It seems like only yesterday I'd gotten an e-mail from Matty showing the figure off to those that signed up on their mailing list, and now, he'll be hitting mail box's in a little over a month!
Look for Uncle Sam and Doll Man, along with John Constantine if memory serves me correctly, to be arriving in mail box's in November!

Pictures have now been revealed for 3 of the 4 pieces in DCU Wave 3 - Aquaman, Darkseid and Superman...
Supes is a pass for me, but Aquaman and Darkseid are figures I was looking forward to when they were announced, so I want to give them a chance. A little disappointed Aquaman doesn't have his necklace from Justice League: Origins, but it's not a BIG deal for me...
