DC Universe Classics 6" Appreciation Thread

Futures End continues to give us some great, simple new costumes/designs for a lot of characters. No weird piping/seams all over the place, or excessive armor details.

Green Arrow was already on my wishlist for a DCC Futures End sub-line, but now Red Arrow is on the list as well. I like this even more than Arsenal's new costume. At least there's no trucker hat in either case.

FE Firestorm looks really good as well, very Tron-like.

I don't have $42 to spare on a mini PVC toy this month, so I guess I'm going to lose out on Mxy. Hopefully they will have him on sale on Black Friday for half price.

GL Riddler is such a retarded toy though.

Oh Matty,just go away already!

Raf I don't think most of us have Early Access.. Personally I grew out of He-Man at 10 years old

Colder Soldier · 10-14-2014, 08:30 PM

Even though I do have Early Access, I'm waiting for those Super Powers figs to go on clearance.

At $30 a pop, they're going nowhere fast.

CMIII · 10-15-2014, 02:37 PM

I picked them up today... I was more worried about getting Mr. Myx then anything else

CMIII · 10-19-2014, 05:20 AM

OK now that the major stumbling block for the Mattel side of these figures is gone how long till we get them back???

TheBlueMarvel · 10-19-2014, 06:19 AM

Hopefully not long. Hasbro has provided a great example for how well a re-birthed line can do. Tweak the vision, shuffle the staff, and provide some fan-service in the initial offering (Terrax). I never believed that DCUC would be gone for very long. If and when they do return, I would like to see a strong C&C character....

Stumbling block? If you mean Scott, I highly doubt he had anything to do with the DCU line being canned.

CMIII · 10-19-2014, 08:42 AM

it was a joke.. I do mean how long till his replacement goes back to DCUC Stuff

A great restart would be to go ahead and hit a home Run off the bat. Vixen, Merlyn, Ventriloquist and Scarface, Batwoman, General Zod, and Mad Hatter as for the C&C that'll be hard to do since they just gave us the most requested maybe Shaggy Man, Killer Croc, or Moniter.

Nice! Vixen, Merlyn, and Zod are all real winners for me....maybe Batwoman too, but I freely admit to a serious case of "Batpeople" fatigue. Your C&C suggestions are all awesome. If I had to select one, it'd be Shaggy Man.

I'd like to see Dr. Light (Arthur), Count Vertigo, and Shadow Thief (could make for a cool new sculpt). If they really wanted to go nuts, and get the attention of fans, they could go with Kirby's Forever People and an Infinity Man C&C. But that would be too much to ask for....

Edit: Could we finally get a Highfather also? He's was glaringly missing from all the "Fourth World" love they provided...

CMIII · 10-19-2014, 09:53 AM

I'd love to get High Father.. We got all these Apokolypse figures but nothing from New Genesis (or close to nothing) I would not be surprised if 4 of the ones I mentioned were on the Short list of Planned figures for the CIE figures..

I do have Bat Fatique as well Batzarro really caused it for me. I could have gon a full year without a single Batman Universe figure again

RKillian · 10-19-2014, 04:48 PM

Finding it hard to give a damn about DCUC now with what's coming in DC Direct's Batman Animated line.

I have no interest in the BTAS line. The only characters I would buy are ones that I don't own a toy version of, which is so far, nobody revealed. I'm still not ready to fully trust DCC with quality control yet. In fact, the last DCC toy I bought was AO Killer Croc, and while he is a great figure (one of their best), I still fear that his joints are going to snap off one day.

Nevertheless, I do not see Mattel doing anything with DCU ever again after this year.

Ravenxl7 · 10-19-2014, 11:07 PM

Finally saw some of the new Total Heroes figures at a TRU recently. The second version of Batman isn't bad, but didn't give me a must-have sort of feeling. Though I'm still really tempted by the Aquaman they did in this line. I have a feeling that, if I ever see her, the Wonder Woman figure is going to be really tempting as well.

As for Mattel and DCU, the only thing I potentially see them doing is possibly trying to reuse the name sometime down the line. Though as far as real DCU stuff, yeah, they're finished.

CMIII · 10-23-2014, 02:36 PM

OK Good News Myxzptlk doesn't have a hole in his Butt and has an astounding whopping 4 articulations. Doesn't looks 1/2 bad though

3233rafael · 10-23-2014, 03:56 PM

Got it...

He might not look bad, but he isn't worth $42.

I'd say he's worth about 10$. I had the money to Throw away so I got all three.

Dr Kain · 10-23-2014, 09:46 PM

Which weapon were we promised in Wave 5? I ask because Kalibak came with his comic accurate weapon in Wave 5.

CMIII · 10-24-2014, 02:20 AM

There was going to be a thing like a cross between a Club and a Knife

Are you talking about the thing that the Parademon gun can turn into? He doesn't use that in the comics, so I don't see why it is a big deal.

CMIII · 10-24-2014, 09:39 AM

Since I am yet to get Kalibak I am happy with the one I now Have. I am a Tad disappointed in the Size of Mr. Myx. He just feels to big to be the Imp
