I really wanted that Superman.

From what I am hearing now, they have had to convert the Batman Alien 2 pack to a Con Exclusive. Something to do with DC Batman rights. Sound like the same issues they had with the Tutrles. So NO mass retail release, only can get made as a Exclusive of some kind. Guessing the same goes for the Superman set

They haven't disclosed where the problem lies or which company. They had to deal with DC, Dark Horse, and Fox.

Yep, all three of the sets. I'm just hoping they won't wait 3 years to release them all at consecutive SDCCs.

How do the DCUC figures compare size-wise to the Marvel Legends? I know they don’t make them anymore, but I’m looking for a DC line that fits in well with the Legends. Thanks!

Size-wise they fit pretty well typically. Their proportions tend to look much more comic-like next to Legends but it's not too bad IMO. For full disclosure the only DCUC figure I have is Mongul but I have the Mattel Watchmen figures which all used DCUC bodies as bases and they look fine next to Legends.

Augustus_Cole · 03-11-2018, 06:03 PM

I have the Clayface (aka doodoo man) C&C
This is a great BAF. I like it more than the pics of it make me think i would.
So far my two dc BAFs are King Shark and Clayface...two serious winners.

Awesome thanks! I know the don’t make them anymore, but the line seems to be pretty extensive and I believe they have all or most of the ones I want. I will check out the new Essentials figures, but I don’t really want to wait years for them to come out with the ones I want, if they even keep it going.

Do we know an ETA for the upcoming planned Lex Luthor CNC wave? I'm really looking forward to the new Wonder Woman and Vixen figures. Gonna have to track those down when released.

I'll pre-order that one too- Multiverse doesn't show up much around here until long after just about everyone else on the planet has them

I've had my Clayface wave for a while and haven't even seen a single sighting of them at retail

Clayface is way too awesome for the shitty ass wave he is in.

I had to have the figures in hand to determine if i was keeping them. Of the 5..the only one I didn't want to keep was Superman. Didnt like him. The rest were okay. The articulation on these still leaves a bit to be desired. But they are def getting better.

I need a definitive superman figure..which I can't seem to find.

I've generally found that DCUC is the "most compatible" of the major DC lines when it comes to scaling with Marvel Legends.

I really like the Icons Rebirth Batman. His legs could maybe have a bit more (really just an extra swivel for the thighs) but otherwise I feel like the amount of articulation is pretty great for the size and cost. I'm pretty sure there's probably a Japanese figure with more total articulation or then there's the Mezco One:12 figures but the Icons Rebirth figure is a lot cheaper.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. Probably should've mentioned that but I guess it didn't occur to me since I got mine in the 7-pack so I forgot that the individual also had zilch in the accessory department.

The Two-Face in the wave is horrendous looking. The long hair looks terrible, he is way too short and on that near 10 year old body.

Batgirl and Cruz both look all right, but they lack of ankle rockers, which really hurts them.

MM looks like they looked at one episode of the show and designed a toy off memory.

If you have the money to spend I’d pick up the mafex Batman from Batman begins or the Mezco one 12 batman dawn of justice. I have both and absolutely love them
