They look all nice except maybe doomsday... I think he could be bulkier

I told a rep from Mattel "I am the last person on this earth you ever want to speak to." Today in a Local K-Mart then I turned and walked away

[Dr Kain]

Well my Batzarro arrived today. I haven't even bothered to unsealed the shipping box as I might just take it to the UPS store and have them ship it back to the sender as they will do it since it is still sealed.

[Dr Kain]

Okay, Mattel is now just trolling fans. This was one of their latest Q&As:

Quote:

Are new Watchmen figures from the upcoming books possible for this line?

At this time no. The line is wrapping up with the 6 figures from 2013. All 4 of the Signature Series figures have been revealed. In lieu of a full year 12 figure sub (due to not hitting the min tier 1 level) we will be releasing 4 Quarterly figures Aquaman, Ice, Superboy and Damian Wayne

How the hell did they go from talking about Watchmen to DCU in their answer? It's like they had to put in that spiteful response just to throw salt into a wound.

But there was no need to put in that snarky remark. They should have just left it as, "NOt at this point in time" instead of making a rude ass comment like that. But then, I should expect nothing less from Mattel.

why is Plundor being listed as a DC Universe Character on the Mattel Website?

Because he is way too gay even for He-Man.

I don't think it was snarky. Maybe a little blunt, but not snarky. I think another sentence or two to explain how the two IPs are related in Mattel's eyes would have helped clarify things.

Mattel is a for-profit business and I honestly don't believe they would intentionally piss off a fan-base or troll them in a Q&A. Then again, I understand enough of the industry to never take anything a toy company does personally.

He isn't. He's listed under MOTUC, which is correct.

[CMIII]

Look below

[CMIII]

DC Universe Logo... The DC Universe isn't even this Lame though I could see him being a G'Nort Replacement

[trebleshot]

Apparently someone messed up on the front page image. If you click on the link for him, it takes to you to the correct MOTUC page (and the item listing specifically says "Masters of the Universe Classics figure" below his name). I also confirmed he is not listed anywhere on the DCU page.

[CMIII]

If thats the MOTU characters they are releasing when they get down to the end I think we DCers should be happy it ended like it did. Instead of a Steroided up Easter Bunny with a gun.

How can you look at that demented roid-rage bunny and not love it instantly?

Then again, I even think Batzarro is kind of neat. Not enough to buy, mind you - at least not for Subscription prices. Just... neat.

[CMIII]

I could see him on easter holding that gun to someones head "You so much a take one nibble of that chocolate rabbit and you're done".... Whats next Santa and the Total Tank (Santa Clause referance)..

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, no matter what someone says, that evil bunny is just down right stupid. He just goes to show why the Filmation series is pretty awful.

[kenm2474]

My new custom DC Damian Wayne Batman with Alfred By Leegit customs.

[CMIII]

I have to do this

We've actually decided to keep Batzarro. Something about him is just so friggin' mad that it works. The eyeless cowl and the too-wide grin make him look like a cross between Bats, a Xenomorph, and a Cenobite.

He'll fit in with the Legion of Losers that we have, or maybe I'll make a little leash and collar and give him to our Mad Love Harley & Mr. J.

Besides, he came with a Batarang! Now, to give it to Bruce, or one of our Barbaras... (Man, someone on Shapeways needs to mass-produce batarangs and birdarangs for this scale)

Hey, DC's getting its own deranged Easter bunny. But that one looks more like the love child of Bruce Wayne and the Tick.

Unfortunately a lot of the characters from the original MOTU were groan-inducing, but there were a few gems here and there. Plundor was not one of the latter, of course.

I would totally buy a Santa w/Total Tank, just for the irony.

[CMIII]

I've wanted it since the Santa Clause.... Any way I should have Batzarro. I will keep it for Bizarros sake but I am going to view Ice as figure 12 of the 2013 version and move Batzarro to her spot. It's what should have been done... I just hope what ever mattel announces at NYTF it's not the Zoo Crew or Ambush Bug....

I kinda hope it's an undersized Pack with the Guardian, Mr. Myx, and Nekrom Scythe

Kenm that Doomsday is sweet. Where can I get one?

[3233rafael]

^ It looks similar to the DC Superheroes Doomsday figures but taller and the chest looks different too...

Mine is a custom made doomsday I had him made three years ago I think I paid $100 by a customizer named Finn Verra. I've tried finding him again but is nowhere to be found. I had him made because I wanted a proper scale doomsday and still to this day we do not have a massed produced Proper scale doomsday available it's amazing.
