DC Universe figures

Erm... unless I missed some heavy Marvel/DC intercompany partnerships, I'm assuming you meant Mr. Terrific.

LOL, yeah I was wondering when Reed became a black guy.

I've been reading from few customers about sloppy paint apps on this line can anyone who's got them verify this. I hope this is not a big issue and just bad luck for some people.

And by the way, Im really seeking out for this guys so anybodys help for me to grab on them or some direction as to where i could get them around the Queens area in NY please let me know. thanx

The quality is superior to Toybiz figures, but Red Tornado has a funky paint job due to the yellow not showing too well over the red. In order to "fix" it, they applied a wash, so when you glance at the figure it looks like a really bad kit-bash. It's not as bad as it sounds, but if you have Marvel Legends Spider-woman you will know what I mean.

^ Heh. Awesome.

I especially love that they made a point of saying "Rex Mason, the Element Man". I have no idea why the cards don't say "Metamorpho". They just used the name in the JLU line. Surely they didn't lose it already?

Finally found some wave 2 DCU 6" d00ds today -- Blueperman and Manta. Both are wonderful, though I'm a tiny bit disapointed that Blupes's "energy crackle" isn't removable from his back.


News from NYCC:

DCU --

Wave 4: Cyborg, Wonder Woman (variant = Artemis, complete with bow, arrows, and impossibly long Deodato ponytail), Ares, Batman Beyond (!), and Captain Atom (variant = gold Kingdom Come/Armageddon suit). BAF = a kick-ass Despero.

Wave 5 (Wal*Mart exclusive): Amazo, Atom (Ray Palmer), Eradicator (original goggles and cape suit), Riddler, and Black Lightning (current bald look). BAF = an even more kick-ass Metallo. (Being exclusive worries me, as I've yet to see any DCU figures at a W*M.)

Wave 6 (partial list): Superman (black recovery suit & long hair), Hawkman, and Mr. Miracle.

TRU-exclusive 2-packs: Batgirl & Azrael; Lightray & Orion (removable helmet this time).

SDCC exclusive: Lobo w/ his dog.

Sometime in 2009: brown version of Man-Bat (previously a SDCC/WWC '07 exclusive in white).


Infinite Heroes (3-3/4" line) --

Wave 1 has a rather surprising line-up: Atom (Ryan Choi), Captain Marvel, Black Adam, GL (Guy), Black Hand, Zoom, and Adam Strange (!). Plus 2 3-packs -- Comm. Gordon + 2 SWAT officers; Flash + Weather Wizard + Mirror Master.


JLU --

The line is now Target-exclusive. Surprisingly, there will still be some new figures: Captain Atom and Galatea (Power Girl-esque evil clone of Supergirl), plus single packs of Kilowog, Stargirl, and Hawkman. An awesome-sounding new 6-pack will include Batman, Shadow Thief, Silver Banshee, Atomic Skull, the Key, and KGBeast.

SDCC exclusive: Giganta 2-pack -- 4-3/4" figure and 8" figure.

I'm loving that Ares figure, don't know much about the character other then the obvious, but I really like the design.
I even picked up that "It's not a statue because it's got POA's" that DCD made a few years back.

The Riddler! An AMAZING Metallo! Horrary!

Oh wait, my Walmart doesnt even have DC Universe figs. Shit.

I dont collect the JLU line but I honestly want that Giganta pack as I love the character that much. I wonder how the Tall Version would look with the Universe guys.

I actually might Ebay her as long as the price is right.

Seriously, why the hell make Lobo a con exclusive? I mean he would be one of the most sought after figures and now most of the people that would want him are not going to be able to.
