DC Universe Classics 6" Appreciation Thread

ludovicotek · 10-15-2011, 06:42 PM

Ok, I just heard something really cool. I was listening to the MOTUC panel courtesy of Actionfigurepics.com (video here) and at the 9:15 mark the speaker says that they're working on a way to combine subscription items with day-of-sale items. So, if you subbed to any of Matty's lines you could hold off on shipping and combine with any items that you might purchase day-of. That's pretty awesome, IMO. Makes me feel better about cherry picking figures and helps to off-set the increased prices of day-of-sale figures.

The audio gets really messed up at at parts so you'll have to bare with it a little. And I know I'm posting a link for the MOTUC panel in the DCUC thread, but it's very interesting information that could apply to anyone buying multiple lines from Mattel.

Well then. After the mattel panel all should be right with me if this rumor is true that is.

Is Mattel going to have a DCUC pannel?

That makes NO sense but then again hasbros wasnt until 4 almost 5

Wow, the Legion of Super Heroes 12-Pack is already sold out on Matty. That was quick. I thought with the $180 price tag it might take a little longer to sell out.

brittap · 10-17-2011, 07:15 PM

well if you only make a small number of them it doesn't take long. You think they make 1,000s of a MOTU figure that sells out in 5 min?

brittap · 10-17-2011, 07:17 PM

And by the way did Hasbro blow matty's pants off at NYCC or what? Hope they were taking notes as Hasbro was taking my money away from them for next year.

Yes, I think they make tens of thousands of them. I'm sure the production run on Icarius alone is 500,000+, that's why he's still in stock

I am not surprised at all.

This is part of the reason but also there was a TON of hype for this set

Mattel dissapointed severly. Hasbro just got me full blown in to MUs with there panel. Mattel made we wanna finish wave 19 and grab a wildcat and be done for awhile.

Giganta is pretty rad. When I completed her I was quick to get her into the case next to the rest of the legion so as not to be accused of playing with dolls. She looks and scales a little too Barbie-y to be displayed away from my other DCUC figs.

Fortune · 10-19-2011, 10:35 PM

I never realized how desired Giganta was but thinking back on it. She is a VERY good BAF from an amazing Wave

Gentleman Ghost was notoriously difficult to find at retail. You can get 5/6 of Giganta for around $30 but the head & torso usually run about $60 on their own.

Some eBay sellers list Gentleman Ghost loose for around this price, but don't realize the price is so high because of the C&C pieces in the MOSC package.

If I recall, I had to import my Giganta head & torso from a seller in Thailand.

You dont like the wave or you dont like anti monitor?

If any of ya are missing those 2-Packs (Cyborg Supes/Mongul, Clayface/Poop Batman, Supergirl/Armored Lex, Abin Sur/Hal) you guys should check Gordmans if you've got one. Seems they also get a good chunk of DCUC that doesn't sell.
