    No problem, dude! I was bugging one of my buddies with regards to the wings and confirmed it but one never know Mattel...

    Agreed on your thoughts on the figures too. I really like Super Lex (he tried his best in the comics! LOL!) but given the choice between him and Vixan...I can at least live with scratches on Lex’s armour - treat it as “battle damage”!

    You raised a good point with regards to “liking” this version of Lex...I still prefer him in his iconic green armour.

    The next wave is rather exciting for me too...it has a lot of characters that I’m seriously looking forward too - Terry, Kyle, Lobo and that Superman...the wait is killing me! X)

    Really feel bad for the dude...all I can say is that Mattel doesn’t deserve him and the work he did.

    He looks so good that I’m seriously thinking of picking a second figure!

    ...it’s amazing how Mattel can survive this long...utterly mind blowing!

    Why do I feel that I'll never see it in stores?

    Don't worry you won't, somehow this line keeps going on despite a lack of physical store presence. Thats why its smart to use online websites like Bigbadtoystore, I've got the next two waves preordered to save myself the angry and frustration that can come with collecting this line.

    I realllyyy want to like Vixen, but I can't help wishing it was her late 90s/early 2000s design. Feels like Red Hood all over again.

    Saw the latest Multiverse at Target today. Batman looked underwhelming. It's cool that the knives are removable from the belt and can be held in the hands. It just looked...rather plain though. I'm glad you only need 4 figures to build the BAF.

    Saw movie Aquaman from GameStop. It's a step up from the Justice League movie Multiverse for sure but...still falls short of the mark.

    Yeah, what I like about the Multiverse line is that it’s only 4 figures - not so hard on the wallet! Furthermore, I find the character selection to my liking - so far.

    As for the Aquaman movie...I guess it’s just a popcorn flick! :)

    Did any of you get that GameStop exclusive diecast metal injustice 2 Batman? It's at tj maxx for $23 now. Didn't realize the legs can actually move outwards.

    Also the Jada Metals 1/24 BVS Batwing is showing up at ROSS for $25.

    Why are the crotches so small on these new figures? Superman specially. The former structure was better.

    I was wondering that too. The old structure did look better in neutral poses but the sculpt broke once the legs were pivoted outwards. I think the designer designed them that way for more hip range(forward motion) but I really don't know. Any of you with the newer figures, do the new hips have better range?

    New pics of 2019 figures....

    I did see the Reaper and Rookie again. Those might be the last molds on the old DCUC style bodies. They look good due to the new tooling.

    Yes, the range of motion on the new bucks is better and doesn't break up the sculpt the way the older buck's t-hips did. That said certain characters like Superman look odd with the new torso in static poses as it looks like it's made with less bulky characters in mind. In fact Rebirth Superman was originally displayed at either TF or SDCC with an old style buck so I was surprised when they later switched to the new style at later shows nefpre his release.

    Also, the last two figures to use the old style t-hips are Clayface wave CW Martian Manhunter and Rebirth Two-Face.

    To me its a combination of the crotch being too small and the torso, too big in Superman's case which is the prime offender in my opinion.

    Wow, if it had been the purple Catwoman instead of Kid Flash, I'd actually be interested in that entire wave.

    That Catwoman is a mystery, no one knows what wave it got pushed back to or swapped to.

    Batcycle Batman looks alright (no full body shot). I think I've had enough of DCC though and have been thinking about cancelling BTAS Two Face. Frankly, changing the articulation is a mistake. It's not going to win people back this late in the game but it will alienate those of us that stuck with the line. They should do single reissues of the figures they locked up in that last awful box set but they won't because they're stupid.

    Enough about Don't Care Collectibles though.

    I bought the new Multiverse Mera and I really like it. Her wave is poorly distributed but it doesn't look like anybody has started to pile up yet at the Walmarts that chose to stock it.
