Upcoming DC Universe Figures!

For all us diehard DC fans, I figured it was time to start a thread keeping everyone up-to-date on the latest news regarding Mattel's popular, allbeit sparcely distributed, DCUC line.

First up, figured everyone would enjoy taking a look at DCUC Wave 15's C&C figure - Fatal 5 member Validus....

Thanks to The Fwoosh for the pics!

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

NOTE: I have recieved word, for those wondering about the status of this year's DCUC Wal-Mart Exclusive Wave 14, that the line, which features the likes of Alan Scott (Green Lantern) and Tyr, has been delayed and that chaces are very good we'll actually be seeing DCUC Wave 15 before the Wal-Mart Exclusive line hits retail.

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

Here we have another DCUC Wave 15 figure, one I am particularly excited about: Sinestro Corps Batman!

What makes this piece so interesting isn't the new head sculpt or batarang construct, but the fact that Mattel has stated that Batman hasn't appeared this way in the comics 'yet.'

Fan's were upset because Bats costume was much more different during his time with the Sinestro Corps in the comic, but Mattel has basically told fans that this Batman is making his action figure appearance before his comic appearance!

Not only that, but the bio on the reverse of the packaging is blocked by the Sinestro Corps logo, adding some further mystery to this figure. Does this mean Bruce will be seeing yellow in the future? We'll just have to wait and see!

Enjoy!

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

DCUC Wave 14 Update:

It appears that the delay with this years Wal-Mart Exclusive line of DCUC figures has to do with Wal-Mart showing a serious lack of interest in carrying the latest offerings from Mattel as they feel the line won't attract the same amount of buyers that last November's DCUC Wave 10, which featured such famous characters as Joker, Man-Bat and Batman in his all black '89 suit, did.

Supposidly, they feel the line features too many D-listers and although they have not said for sure if they won't be carrying it, it looks like we won't be seeing this line until late this year or early in 2011.

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

Calling some of those characters in wave 14 D-listers is being generous. I'm looking at you Kamandi, Obsidian, and Tyr. I'm not shocked Wally world is leery of stocking a wave with that many back-bencher characters in it. But that's probably why Mattel stuck them in that exclusive wave. So that they wouldn't peg warm every where. Just at Wal-Mart.

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

Supposidly, according to the DC Comics message boards, Wal-Mart had in their systems that Wave 14 was supposed to be released around September 1st / 2nd, with Wave 15 being released about a month later.

Wave 15 is still on track however.

Re: Up-And-Coming DC Universe Classics!

Busy day in the world of DCUC!

The final pictoral update for DCUC Wave 15 is up and it is perhaps the most anticipated figure, not only of the wave, but of the entire year....

Martain Manhunter!!!

2-versions will be available, Golden Age, with a more human shaped head and one more similar to the Justice League cartoon. Take your pick and enjoy the pictures...
