Oh, cool. That's what I remember reading somewhere. Do they all look the same? I'm just curious if you can army build with just this one figure.

I won a Sinestro Corps Mongul for cheap on eBay - holy crap is he huge!

I also picked up a bit of a grail piece - G'nort! Pictures to follow

No, this guy is kinda unique with the bat tattoo on his face. A lot of the mutants wear similar clothes but many of them have spikes on their heads and wear visors similar to Cyclops from X-Men. You could probably do some head swaps and army build them without having to do too much painting though.

I can't believe Mattel isn't doing a Mutant Leader in this set. They could have just used that MOTUC buck and they would only have to sculpt a few new parts. Carrie Kelly Robin is pretty essential too, but they probably don't have any existing figures that would be appropriate to reuse and you know how much Matty hates producing all-new figures. The same goes for Joker. He looks a lot different in The Dark Knight Returns so it would have required an all-new sculpt for him to make a figure that looks anything like he did in the comics.

^ Cool...good info there. The only thing I don't like about Walmart exclusives is that they're always hard to find. If you guys remember DCUC waves 5 and 10. Wave 5 is still my favorite followed by wave 3. How about you guys?

And why are people asking if this is Damian? The Dark Knight Returns is from 1986, Damian was not created until like 2008.

It is a logical mindset for someone who may not know of the DKR novel, because of the animated movie called Son of Batman, which is about Batman's son, Damian.

@raf - If you haven't checked out The Dark Knight Returns animated movie, you should.

305Batman · 02-05-2016, 09:08 AM

Damian Wayne Batman

3233rafael · 02-05-2016, 09:29 AM

^ That's got to be one of the best custom Batman figs out there!

@3233 Rafael
that 'Heat vision' Superman looks like the new 52 superboy

sephiroth61787 · 02-05-2016, 10:23 AM

I always dread when something is Wal-Mart exclusive. Easily the biggest pains in the ass to hunt down.

Yeah, that's what I posted earlier. Waves 5 and 10 of the DCUC were so hard to find for me at the time they came out.

Boy Blunder · 02-05-2016, 11:09 AM

Man... seeing those new figures is both relieving and depressing to me - relieving since we don't collect DCUC-style figures any more and have moved on to Marvel Legends, but depressing since I know that, if Mattel makes any future figures of characters I or my wife want, they won't have the same spark to them as figures past.

Zorn88 · 02-05-2016, 11:35 AM

I want that heat vision Superman.

Fantastic custom ken!

Barefootabe · 02-05-2016, 11:50 AM

It was a DCUC Batman Buck using 2 Phantom-X Coats melded together with some WWE Combat Boots.
