ericdbright:
I jsut picked them up today, so if you're looking for Blue Mer-Man, they should be out any day.
ludovicotek:
How much were they? I like Hawkman but don't care about Stratos and I like Mer-Man but don't care about Aquaman. Go figure.
trebleshot:
Last I saw at TRU, they were $30 each. But that was for wave 1. Haven't seen wave 2 yet.

What state did you get them from? Someone from Facebook got his from Arkansas.
Runamuck:
This was back in November? Wow. I haven't seen them where I work yet.

Yes most Toys R Us express stores had them. Now that those are closing they should be shipping them to regular stores.
Saint Phe:
These have been at my Toysrus since at least early December
Solrac333:
WHEN did these come out?! I JUST found them last week. Glad I bought them. What sucks is that my Stratos is so loose and floppy and I think he's right leg is longer than the left leg. AND I think the biceps to my Aquaman are swapped.
trebleshot:
Based on the sightings, around November of last year. Though their distribution was spotty, IIRC. Wave one was everywhere, but this wave seemed to pop up randomly, even when there wasn't wave 1 shelf-warming.

I distinctly remember only one of the two TRU in my area got these in. But it could simply be that other collectors in the area got to them first.

Sucks to hear about your Stratos. If both toys have problems, you could try to return them as defective and see if you can get an exchange.
Optimus Vader:
They hit PA about a month or two ago. I was lucky enough to get both sets when they were on sale for $20 each, which I'm sure will be a sale again at some point in the next couple of months.
Runamuck:
I work at TRU and I never saw them. But that could be because we have too FULL facings of Skeletor/Lex just sitting there collecting dust. Even when the sale was on, we might have sold one. :/
Deefuzz:
I see these things shelfwarming everywhere.

I see sh|t tons of the Skeletor / Lex 2-Pack (literally at least 50 or 60 all told at local TRUs) but have yet to see any of the other pairings.

Believe me. As soon as I see something wrong with my figures, I return them. These were already sold out when I went back.

These are shelfwarming material guarantee

I wish. It's the Skeletor/Luthor set that's doing that.

That's too bad. Did you get your money back, or did you hang on to them in case they got more in?

I never saw them again. So I just kept them.
Morzilla:
I've seen the HM/STRATOS, AM/MM, & LL/SKELETOR at TRU but that's about it. And yes the LL/SKELETOR are shelve warmers for sure!!
Saint Phe:
I can't wait for the Zodac vs. Green Lantern pack. It'll be the first purchase for me from this line.

Where can I find more info on these? Is there an "upcoming" list somewhere?

I've seen the 4 that are out now, but I'd like to know what's coming down the pipeline - I could avoid spending a fortune on singles maybe. Like - might we get a Wonder Woman vs Evil Lynn or something? Maybe Batman vs Triclops? Plastic Man vs Mechanek? :P Inquiring minds want to know!

Pics of the Zodac/Green Lantern pack were in Toyfare magazine a while back. I don't remember seeing anything concrete on other upcoming packs.
ToyAddict:
Upcoming is supposed to be a Zodac/Green Lantern pack and a She-Ra/Supergirl pack. These were shown at Toy Fair and were advertised there as coming out in Summer 2011. Also just announced is a Bizarro/Faker pack, which will be available at San Diego Comic Con and online starting at the same time as SDCC.
atomicsmurf:
I got both of these and the Lex Luthor vs Skeletor and I must say I reaaaaaaaally love them. It's the best Lex I've seen, and the only one I own.

And ya know, even though I know DCD makes some awesome Hawk and Aquaman figures -- my inner-kid enjoys the sculpts of these figures better.

The packaging is very eye catching too. Just wish the Faker two pack wasn't an exclusive.

I want Trapjaw in a twopack!!!
piratederek:
I love these packs . The price is the only thing that gets me.

The price is cheap, tho! The Masters figures alone are $20+ shipping at Mattycollectors.com. So you factor in the DC figure for a mere $10 (normally at least $15) and you got yourself a great deal... Sometimes the colors are a bit odd... (although I must admit, I prefer the blue Merman to green), but it's a quality set of toys at a much more reasonable price than the bend-over prices at ebay.
webz:
The figure two pack I want most: Battlecat vs Superdog! I know it sounds silly, but I'm serious! it'd be soooooo awesome! This little lab going up against a tiger!
Lord_Zarak:
they must sell them online on mattycollector not in the shops... so european collectr can buy them
