It will be amazing if he does any more DCU figs, or anything for that matter, unless his arm is twisted. I say your better bet is Austin Books and comics for DCU stuff. I am picking up the Lantern stuff friday. From what I hear he still has the red and blue, plus sinestro in his corps outfit. | Quote:

I've been going there for years and I've never seen one single figure there. The only comic shop I've seen DCUC at is Tribe Comics down on Manchaca. I bought a collared Booster Gold there over the summer for $17. Not too bad, considering I never saw the figure on a peg anywhere and I would have paid at least that much online with shipping and everything. I know they had Black Canary and Guardian the last time I was there. I'm tempted to go back and pick them up.
Wonko's has never had anything I was remotely interested in, I was just hoping to go home with at least one wave 9 figure today so I took a shot. Wonko's is definitely all about the TCG now, but one of the shelves by the entrance is quite full of DCUC. Just not anything I don't already have. Quote:

Maybe they'll release a better version of her somewhere down the line. Didn't she have an even skimpier costume at some point in the 90s? If they can do Aquaman in his blue camo gear, maybe they'll do Starfire in another outfit.  | |

| Really? Well, shit. What are those figures then? Eitherway, they are still awsome. And that Sinestro is still mine for the grabs
