Upcoming DC Universe Figures!

[Prowl_2009]

Not a lot of DCUC news today, but it seems that Captain Collector over at DCUC.info has found a varient of Wave 15 Tyr featuring a darker shade of red skin coloring.

Nothing to write home about, but thought it was interesting regardless. Thanks, DCUC.info!

More DCUC Rumor lists have arisen, this one focusing on Waves 18-20 thanks to the DC Hall of Justice Message Boards....

Wave 18

El Dorado
Toyman
Black Vulcan
Superman and Bizarro (interchangeable head and hands)
Manhunter
Metallo
C&C Apache Chief

Wave 19

Flash
Shade
Sandman
Vandal Savage
Stargirl
Atom
C&C S.T.R.I.P.E.

Wave 20

Superman
Saint Walker
Firestorm
Larfleeze
Guardian
Arisia
C&C Nekron

Something interesting to note, although this is just a rumor list, is that Mattel stated Nekron would be the C&C figure for Wave 20 and we've already heard rumors about Wave 18 being a Super Friends line. What do you guys think? Anything on these lists catching your interests?

The DC Hall of Justice Message Board states that Toy Man has replaced the formerly planned Samurai in Wave 18, the original figure instead being released in a Wal-Mart exclusive 5-pack later in the year along with Super Friends versions of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor.

Also, the same site mentions that the Flash figure supposidly slated for Wave 19 is Jay Garrick!

More rumors are circulating today, one of which concerns the planned, but dropped Tuxedo repaint of the Joker.

Mattel mentioned they had planned to release the figure as a single carded TRU exclusive, but that idea was dropped recently, Mattel stating they were looking for a new way to get this figure out on the market.

Well, both forums on ToyArk and The DC Hall of Justice are reporting the Tuxedo Joker will be released this year as part of a TRU 2-pack alongside Harley Quinn.

Here is a quote from ToyArk's forums:

It's been confirmed that there will be a new Wal - Mart 5 pack with brand new figures later on this year as well as a TRU 2 pack featuring Harley Quinn and the black tuxedo Joker.

Again, this is simply a rumor right now, so take it with a grain of salt....



Also, the same forum boards are reporting Mattel may very well be planning a Dark Knight Classics spin-off line, similar to what is being done with the newly released Green Lantern Classics. Supposidly, to coincide with the theatrical release of The Dark Knight Rises, it seems the line may be slated for a late 2011, early 2012 release.

Here is yet another quote:

Also the pending announcement of the Dark Knight Classics line which should be released real late in 2011 or early 2012 to coincide with The Dark Knight Rises.

Again, these are simply rumors right now, but I would like to thank DC Hall of Justice and ToyArk for passing these tidbits our way.

If Mattel is indeed planning a Dark Knight Classics line, could it be possible this will be where we'll see re-released versions of DCSH Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow and Catwoman? Figures Mattel promises we'll be seeing again in the future? Only time will tell!
