DC Universe Classics 6" Appreciation Thread

Actually saw the Clayface wave today at Target. Nice surprise! Also, saw the Batman Missions limited articulation line there, as well. The Harley Quinn figure was very tempting, but with the more articulated version coming down the line I passed on it.

A local grocery store finally put the Wonder Woman figures on clearance and I figured Ares was worth $20. He is. The four figures I had to get to build him are a mixed bag, Hippolyta is the only one I have no substantial grievance with. Both of the Wonder Women have chameleon eyes and training Diana doesn't have toes which is kinda creepy. Steve Trevor's just a bland figure but I got a good chuckle out of seeing that his shotgun's stock just has "CHINA" molded on to one side. I liked the movie so for the price I paid I have no outstanding reason to regret or dislike any of these too much.

Nice! I bought the whole set at 5 Below a few months ago and unloaded the loose figures minus the BAF parts on eBay for $8, so I got my Ares for $12. I think this design is much better than the way he appeared in the movie and the figure is solid enough to spend $10-$20 on him without feeling cheated. I also bought the TRU exclusive WW that came with his shield and I repainted the blade of his sword silver.

Awesome bargain! Hes a cool figure (although he could have easily been a repaint 50/50 split with Barry way back in wave 7 instead of having to wait for the mattycollector line to finally get him!)

Found a DCUC Super Powers variant of Steppenwolf at a convention this weekend, hes a cool figure (although I prefer the comic book version!) and its fun having him with the SP Parademon & Mantis along with their comic counterparts

I got the TRU Wonder Woman as well because my store was having a sale at the time that made them $15 and up until I actually got Ares I was content with that being my only movie WW figure. I think the figure design for Ares is pretty badass but given how the movie handled his armor it would've been weird if he had materialized a skull helmet and a pelt out of metal. In the Justice League flashback sequence he sort of looks like the figure but much less sinister and dark.

Thanks! I feel the same way. I’m still disappointed we never got the rest of the flash rogues to be honest. Heatwave seemed like a no brainer

They also could have done an easy 50/50 variant split between Reverse Flash (Eobard Thawne) and Zoom (Hunter Zolomon)

Yeah the lack of Flash rogues was a shame, especially as he has one of the best rogues galleries in comics - heat wave, trickster & weather wizard deserved figures (as well as a classic captain boomerang instead of the Brightest Day version we actually got!)

Haha! Exactly! As a huge flash fan (if I had to pick a favorite of the Superheroes he’d be it) I agree. All they’d really need for a zoom is a different Head honestly it would have been so simple. But I’ll never understand why they chose to make that boomerang. I’d definitely preferred the original one over that one. Along with Trickster, heatwave (my top want) and weather wizard. I also wouldn’t say no to The Top, pied piper, Tar pit, Future Flash, Black Flash, thinker, hell I could go on haha! Mattel chose some random choices sometimes. Don’t understand the red hood outfit they choose either.

Hell Black Flash was another easily missed repaint! they could have done a 5 pack of Barry, Wally, Reverse Flash, Zoom and Black Flash! Considering how we got a few Flash figures in the line we could have had Tar Pit or Girder as a good CNC figure (IIRC Girder was an option in the toyfare voting that went to Nekron) and I'm hoping we will get some more Flash rogues in the Multiverse line (the Thinker based on the TV show would have been a great CNC based on the mattycollector Metron figure!)

Oh yeah that Red Hood was such a waste of the subscription slot based on a costume he only wore about 3 times! Thankfully they revealed an upcoming normal Red Hood in the multiverse wave at last!

Bo Ttef · 07-31-2018, 02:43 PM

Grabbed the $9.99 HQ from the Mission Batman "kids" line. Not a bad figure for the price

Yep! That flash 5 Pack And TV thinker would have been a instant buys haha! But You and me both especially considering how great those new Multiverse figures looked at Sdcc (I’m probably gonna get every one) since they showed off Both Wally wests I don’t think a normal Barry flash or any of his rogues are that far away. They probably will announce a Barry or God speed for sure at nycc. I also hope they produce some more of the Arrowverse figures since Dc Collectibles seems to have quit on the line haha. Because that Lynda carter, Ledger Joker And Black Lighting looked pretty good. That Red hood looked amazing well the stock Proto image did. I can not wait for him I have a feeling that’s how everyone feels thou ha. He’s gonna be hard as hell to find

Tim · 07-31-2018, 03:08 PM

@Bo_Ttef that Harley actually looks pretty good looks identical if not better then the Dc Multiverse one they announced at Sdcc

Glad you agree

yeah the SDCC figs looked great (so glad we will finally get a classic Kyle Rayner!) I'm amazed they havent done an update nu52/Rebirth Barry at any point! Lynda Carter Wonder Woman and Ledger Joker look really good, I'm hoping for a Keaton Batman and "Batman Returns" Catwoman

Glad we will finally get a normal Red Hood and I bet he will be a fast seller, it would be cool if they did a 50/50 split of these two looks for him

Heck they could even do one of his original look when he returned in Hush (that DC Collectibles did as an exclusive figure)

Kyle rayner, Batman beyond, And red hood were the real standouts for Sdcc for me. Since they have Devito out I think it’s only a matter of time until they make Keaton’s batman Michelle’s Catwoman especially how iconic they are! But the red hood 50/50 seems like a perfect idea! They should definitely do something like that. But more important the hush Jason Todd with alternate wrapped hush head would be my grail figure wants. I still have the Dc direct wizard toyfare Exclusive one and it’s still one of my favorite figures I own.

redfox · 07-31-2018, 04:25 PM

I'm really hoping that the DeVito-Penguin is a sorta sign of good faith from Mattel that Keaton-Batman & Pfeiffer-Catwoman are on the way. There's not really much point for the little guy, without someone to taunt him.

Anyone got the pic of the new DC Multiverse Red Hood? It's just a grey sculpt so far but it's a classic Jason Under the Red Hood outfit.

Found it.

I have not bought Mattel figures in years. I picked up some of the TDKR figures but they went straight into storage. Really excited to get Red Hood, Batman Beyond, and Devito Penguin.

Not sure which version that is but the Jacket Sleeves are too short and he has Gun Holsters which Under the Red Hood did not have. He had a specialized knife. Also the Hood is different from the Movie as well. Cool none the Less.

Yeah I only saw it at a glance the other day. Also you know way more about DC than I ever will. I'm just glad we're getting a Red Hood that is more what we were wanting. The Infinte Earths one was a joke. The only Red Hood we've got that's even close was that DC Collectibles Outlaws one but the head had a nose and mouth.

Some amalgamation is fine with me.

VashTS · 07-31-2018, 08:22 PM

I am starting to collect Multiverse figures....what is the target DCPI? Is it same for all their figures or would movie figures have a different DCPI?
