Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[S. Griffin]

I think they said that would be the case. Exact words I believe were "they will fit perfectly with what you already have on your shelves."
The feeling I got from the panel was that it's gonna be a bit like the change from DC Superheroes to DC Universe Classics.

Much appreciated amusedjester, i'll be ordering a few cases from Matty, when i order my swamp thing!!

Swift - Yeah, I finally got that.

Also, gryphx1 - the super power stands have come in. Looks just like the same ones included in the DCUC and works just fine.

Which is disappointing. That's the one figure of the wave I'm interested in.

 

[SanShouXMA]

Hey where did this Batman come from? Is it a custom?

 

[Kicksplode]

The body looks like the Public Enemies Batman. I can''t tell if the head is the same or if it was swapped out for a different one.

 

[Animal Mother.]

Head looks to be a DCD Jim Lee All Star Batman head. Cool custom

Mattel's SDCC 2011 Swamp Thing plus Un-Men figure

Hi Does Anyone have in hand pics of Mattel's SDCC 2011 Swamp Thing plus Un-Men figure?

Nick

 

[amusedjester]

yup. public enemies body with the Lee head. Good catch!

 

[karamazov80]

Damn. That final wave and the Legion set are tempting. . .but must exercise restraint. . .too many Hot Toys figures must be bought instead. . .

 

[Blood Electricity]

that green arrow looks pretty awesome.

I'll move this through to the DC area.

I don't know if this is the piece you mean (as I don't really know Mattel pieces), but check out Mesa's photo's in the OT area:

I havent gotten him yet, but I should have him sometime this week. I have seen some pics of him next to regular DC Universe Classics figures and he is a LOT bigger than I had hoped hed be. Its a little distracting how huge he is. I dont remember him being that big in the comics...

It's one of those things that's up to artistic interpretation for the most part, but I've never pictured him being more than a foot or so taller than guys like Superman. The problem may have come from whatever buck they used for the base body. I think Lobo was another SDCC exclusive who was out of scale, and that was because he was based on the Despero body.

Yeah, I always figured Swampy would be around a foot taller than Superman or around there, but It seems hes even bigger than Darkseid...and that just seems way too big to me. Lobo I can handle being big, adds to his badassness (if thats a word ) But Swampy shouldnt be this big I dont think.

Oh well. Im still excited and happy to be getting him in this series.

The DC Universe Classics Figures Are Doomed

​DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMED.

One of the toys news items from SDCC I failed to mention is that Mattel was stopping their popular DC Universe Classics line and turning it into a subscription on MattyCollector.com called Club Infinite Earths. That's not to say they're stopping DC figures altogether; it's just that the retail DC figures will now consist mainly of heavy hitters like Superman and Batman and the newer comics incarnations, while the Mattel subscription will contain the side characters that hardcore DC fans want, like the various Metal Men and Doom Patrol members that haven't been made yet. I didn't report this because I assumed it wasn't a big deal.

Of course, that was until I saw that four days after SDCC ended, the necessary subscriptions for Mattel to even do the DC Collector's Club series is less than 20%. I think we can safely pronounce the DC Universe Classics line D.O.A. at this point. You know, it was always kind of weird to me that DC Direct was making toys based on its hit series, including a lot of Batmen and Supermen, while Mattel was making characters like Iron and Blue Devil and Kamandi (hey, I love Kamandi, but it's insane that I could theoretically buy a Kamandi figure at Target). I wonder if now that Mattel is back to focusing on DC's big guns, if DC Direct will go back, at least partially, to filling out the rest of the DC universe. Hmm. (Via Poe Ghostal)

I want Atrocitus. Seems like a good way to release that damn Cheetah figure, too.
Go buy subscriptions!

 

[Buttmunch]

What Cheetah? They already released 3 versions of her.

I ordered a sub. I bet it goes through, thermometer or not.
