Just look at Black Goliath. A relatively obscure character who got his own Gigantic Battles pack for being a guy who got a hole punched through his chest by Ragnarok in the Civil War. They dedicated a LOT of plastic to this guy and before Civil War, hardly anybody gave a damn about him.

Well, that's lucky for you then, since only the subscribers get Metron. Oversized figures are still available to the general public - again, aside from Metron.

Me and my bro both wanted Rocket Red, but it's not like I'm hating the fact that we're getting Metron. Though I'm just afraid of it being the same old "we've seen that already" figure simply paired with a larger than normal accessory - which would be the chair of course.

But I'm assuming it'll be somewhat imposing on a shelf nonetheless. Also from what I've read, (for a while) the Horsemen all seemed anxious as all heck to be able to do a Metron w/Mobius Chair figure. So I can see why he was included in the poll.

Well, I'm honestly 100% fine with all of 'em - I'm not picky or anything. Don't know what's so repelling about Starman to everyone, but I find him neat looking (to each his/her own I guess). I'd love Jay Garrick and Poison Ivy. Atrocitus is my preferred of course and Metron - I'm okay with. Again, I'd have liked Rocket Red. I was under the impression that we hardly have any JLI guys - or am I wrong.

Going back the the whole "should we or shouldn't we subscribe" discussion we were all having a few weeks ago. . .now that Metron has been revealed as the winner of the poll, does this change your decision about subscribing? Either you subscribed and now wish that you didn't, or you didn't and now wish you did.

Personally, this pushes me toward wishing I had subscribed, but still not fully convinced. I'd like Metron, but I can live without him. I really need the Poison Ivy, kinda need Jay Garrick. But at least now I have interest in more than half of the figures revealed to be in the subscription. It was 50/50, now 60/40.

I love the classic Starman figure. It was an easy purchase for me. The newer Starman, I'm not so fond of. He just looked like an ordinary guy with a golden staff. I just didn't appreciate the irony in it. Just like I'm not a huge fan of "uniformed" Superheroes taking the costumes out of Superhero comics. Marvel is notorious for this with modern Dr. Strange, Scarlet Spider in a hoodie, plain clothed Wolverine.

The closest thing I can compare it to is pro wrestling when they started making it "cool" to wear dirty jeans and a T-shirt as your wrestling gear.

Check out this neat site:

Metron's Chair - an open petition for Mattel to add light-up features on Metron's Chair (the DCUC Subscription exclusive)

There, you can sign a petition to have Mattel make the DCUC Infinite Earth's exclusive Metron figure come complete with a light-up chair! Who knows, we saved DCUC, maybe Mattel will listen to the fans and really pimp out Metron's ride! Sign it today!

Q: There seems to be a little confusion about the upcoming, re-branded 6″ retail line. You have said that the character selection will focus not merely on DCnU designs, but on more “mainstream” characters like Superman and Batman. Seeing as how there are a limited number of “mainstream” characters, can we expect the line to explore classic, comic-inspired figures (for example Golden Age Superman or Earth-2 Robin) or is it more likely to venture into things like “scuba attack Batman” and “kryptonite armor Superman”?

A: You likely won’t see “Scuba Attack Batman” in the rebranded line. While the line will focus on mainstream characters such as Batman and Superman, think of all of the awesome versions of Batman and Superman in the comics. We can bring those to life in the 2012 retail line.[/B][/I]
