That Joker looks iconic... but how's GA gonna knock that arrow without a string on his bow?!

Info I just found says that Galactus will be 155mm.

Making him over an inch taller than DCBS's listing... just over 6.1 inches. That's a little better, anyway.

Diamond supposedly upped the price yesterday too. By $5.00 IIRC. I wonder if DCBS will honor the price I ordered it at yesterday?

I'll upload a spreadsheet with images in a while for those interested. Which is probably me.

The Pitt IS massive...!

I got my LSH1 preorders set from TRU.com today... NIIiiiice... Marvel Toys did a good job with these, better than Hasbro is handling the ML license, I think. I don't know where I got the misconception Madman only came with "Timmy", he also had a BAF piece: Pitt's lower torso. The BAF pieces are contained as follows: Witchblade-Pitt head & upper torso; Madman with the aforementioned lower torso piece; Superpatriot and Judge Dredd-arms; and Dragon Ripclaw- legs.

Given the sheer size of Pitt, I can't believe Hasbro used 8 figures in the Blob wave. Greed, I guess. I -will- be preordering the second wave of Legendary Heroes, even if I really only want the Monkeyman BAF, Anne O'Brien and The Darkness figures. I figure I can eBay the loose AF's of characters I really don't want, like Sin City's Marv.

Pleasant, pleasant surprise.

Mattel is asking for input on their DC Universe line over at The Fwoosh . They would like fan input on B & C list Heros, Female Figures, Villains, and Fan Favorite Character. The LSH has been woefully overlooked on all lists but Ambush Bug has made the Fan Favorite list. Go Vote while you can.

I want an Infinity Gauntlet!

My most recent pick up is the JLU 3-pack of Zatanna, Shining Knight, and Batman. I'd rather not have yet another extra Batman but the other two are nicely done.

Not sure when these are being solicited-- I got this picture from www.bigbadtoystore.com where they've got Justice wave 8 figs available for preorder, but this is the first I've seen 'em.

I -must- have Ross Batgirl and Hotpants Supergirl, scale differences between this line and regular DCD's be damned!

Fwooshnet has a bunch of pics from Wave 1 of the new Mattel DC Universe line... Batman (of course :rolleyes: ), Penguin, Red Tornado, Orion(with Harness!) and The Demon(!), and a Metamorpho BAF. SuhWEEET!

I want that Toyman!! Toyman awesome!

So I finally picked up a ML Rachel Summers the other day. It's a great toy, the sculpt is perfect. The only thing it could use is a pair of shades. I saw most of the others as well. Dane will likely be the next one I get. Annoyingly there's still no sign of the new FF figures up here though.

Found some images for the Mattel DCUC Wave 3 due out later this spring:



--didn't we just get these from DC Direct? Robin and Deathstroke in a modern Titans wave, and the McGuinness Nightwing with the Superman/Batman series. I hear an unmasked Slade is supposed to be one of the variants.

Still, it's cool to see Tim in his current red and black outfit, and this might just be THE Nightwing figure.

Rounding out the wave are classic Hal GL and Sinestro, with Sinestro Corp Sinestro being another variant.


The BAF is Grundy:



I'm a little worried that Mattel's doing figs we've gotten from DCD already, and recently even. Hope it's not a sign of things to come, or else this line isn't destined to last long...

These are so much more than what DCD has put out and they will be available from Big Box retailers like TRU and Target. Here are the variants that will be randomly packed for in the cases as shown at http://Action Figure Insider :

Thanks, Tek.

Don't get me wrong, the sculpts all look great... and their availability will be further-reaching than DCD, for sure. I'm just a little let-down because most of these were just released by DCD in the last couple of years, minus that awesome Grundy.

I guess I was just hoping for Marvel Legends-style variety right off the bat. To be sure, getting Etrigan, Orion, Harley, Firestorm, Supermans Red and Blue and the Rex BAF in the first two waves is excellent... maybe that's why the third wave has me underwhelmed by Mattel's choices.

There is a serious attempt to mirror the old Kenner Toys Super Powers Collection of toys from 1984-1987.

I'm not saying this is a good thing or a bad thing but I will note that the PTBs at Mattel REALLY understand the draw of characters NOT from the Sups and Bat families. I will also say that the 4 Horsemen REALLY know their DC history and have some great ideas for CaC figures. Their plan is to bring in characters that may not ever get made on their own (The Element Man) and not just oversized figures (Grundy).

I also want to say that I have asked the guys directly about LSH characters and while they know and enjoy the Legion they will not talk to me about LSH figures.

This Supergirl figure ist beautiful - will it be the same size as the regular DC Direct figures? That is, will it go with my Legionnaire collection?

Still have no Supergirl there...

I think the scale on the Ross line is slightly larger than standard DCD releases, and definitely larger than the SA Legion figures. I'm only getting Kara to pose her with the Ross Batgirl.

I love the steampunk stuff and saw this JLA based on Gotham by Gaslight at boingboing. The guy who made them has individual pictures and other action figures at his site .

DC Direct is doing a JL based on JLI.

They have Batman, Black Canary and Ice all based on Kevin Maguires artwork. The fourth figure is what sealed the deal - G'nort. I am so getting this and the 2 other lines they have already planned.

Ice, but not Fire? That makes no sense - they need to be sold together.

I'd rather see Fire made before that particular Black Canary-- Dinah channeling Olivia Newton-John... And a Maguire Guy Gardner is a must!

But a potential line-up like this is exactly the direction DCD needs. They either can't or won't compete with Mattel on articulation; as much as I was complaining about all Mattel's DCUC wave three figs already being produced by DCD recently, I've gotta say-- I just got the first wave from CSC, and they're great! The Mattel wave 3 is going to blow DCD's stuff out of the water if they can get their paint apps under control.

But there's definitely still room for DCD if they go this route with lines like the Maguire JLI.

In the same article, they said that Fire, Booster and Beetle were all coming.

And POV, I got my DCUC at target and love them. They look great and can't wait for wave 2 and 3.

I am going to put this in the shout box too, but what website does everyone use to buy DC Direct Toys from?
