Has there been any news as to when the new Legacy figures will be released?

I am awaiting a response from TRU Canada about that. As soon as I hear something, I'll let you know. Although the info I have thus far says Spring 2012.

And in other DCUC news, its been posted on the main page, but for those who missed it, check out a nice look at Sinestro Corps Hal Jordan and Battle Damage Batman, each up for auction on eBay.

Hal Jordan is part of a TRU 2-pack which also includes Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner and Bats is part of a similar TRU 2-pack which includes a repaint of Azrael Batman from the Knightfall series.

Mattel has supplied an update regarding what we can expect for our favorite DC Comics-based toyline in 2012, thanks to Matty Collector's Facebook page, read on...


DC Fans of all ages!



Hey gang. With only a few days left until NYTF’s collector night (Sundayt, Feb 12th from 3-6 Eastern, Press only event) I wanted to give our customers and fans a head’s up on some of the great new DC toys coming out this year!



First and foremost is an update on our fantastic 6” lines. Now there has been some confusion between what will be at retail and what is online in 2012. A lot of this is due to having to change gears so quickly last summer right before SDCC when the club was formed. But here is a rundown on what to expect:



DC All Stars is our 2012 retail line for the 6” scale. Throughout 2012, look for this line to be similar to the 6” line in 2006 and 2007. Mostly figures from the world of Batman and Superman which will include all new figures and re-releases. There will be non Bat and non Supes figs as too, as well as the occasional collector aimed figure (like the Orange Lantern in the first mix!) but for the most part, this line is aimed at new collectors, casual collectors, moms and kids. Not the hard core collector. For this demographic, look for the online figures in Club Infinite Earths only on Mattycollector.com!



Starting this April, every month will have one all new 6” figure aimed directly at the hard core collector! This club will also include a quarterly oversized figure and if you bought the full year sub last summer, you will also get an exclusive Metron with chair available from your club sign- up fee. This figure will not be sold or made available any other way.



There has definitely been some confusion online about the difference between the two lines. Hopefully the info above helps clarify. Also, we are well aware that when fans bought into the club we had very little to show in terms of figures and packaging and fans put their trust in us. A lot of this had to do with the very quick turn around when we created the club. But now we have a ton of new figures and the packaging to show off in NY!(but no, at this point we do not have an exact number of new figs to reveal, a lot of this comes down to what can make it to the show).



The Club figures will be in a fantastic new window box with all figures posed in a neutral “waiting for the bus” pose as fans have asked for. Additionally, we just locked in a deal with DC to have some top top artists create original art for the packaging! We are so excited to show this off in NY! Our DC fans have been VERY patient and we will do all we can to live up to the expectations and trust fans have put in us!



In addition to the 6” figures, we will have the first look at the fantastic collector lines for the new Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises”! Look for some amazing new Movie Masters and a great pack in bonus never seen before!



There will also be new Young Justice, Action League and a few other surprises we can’t wait to share!



Keep those questions coming on our Ask Matty forums. Nothing is more important than our customers and fans and we want to ensure you have the most up to date info. I personally could not be more excited over Club Infinite Earth. This is the big one. We know fans took a big chance on CIE at SDCC and now that we are closer to the first figure being released in April, man are we waiting to knock your socks off. This is the selection of 6” DC figures you have always wanted. Everyone one is hand picked based on your posts online and feedback. With your continued support, this Club should be everything the fans and customers have wanted it to be!



See you all online after our big Collector Night this Sunday!

C'mon Eradicator & DCSH Steel re-releases!

Now I am getting excited. Looks like we will see more than just Poison Ivy!

I can't help myself but to open all my figures, but box art is cool nevertheless. :)

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. :D

I found them today at TRU Will post pics soon

Personal preference would have been to have had Azbats reissued in Legacy, in as accurate a Knightfall coloring as they could get, instead of a twopack with another throwaway Batman.

Does anyone know when allstars line officially hit retail this year?

BBTS has them listed as a may release. They're a pretty good indicator of when things should start trickling in.

Thanks, Jetty!

Well in my opinion, that's a pretty decent Batman except for the slight battle damage. I'd actually be happy with that one.

That's not ment to be a slam against that batman for it's deco. it's just that Batman is Mattel's Wolverine (Where Toybiz had a Wolverine in practically every line).
It's not difficult to aquire a dozen different Batmen (I've got four. And two are ones I don't even want). Especially when they put variants into twopacks with desirable figures (Batman with Arkham Catwoman. Batman with Clayface. Batman with Robin. Batman with Jim Gordan. I'm surprised they didn't put Batman in with Arkham Joker).
Most serious, and even casual collectors already have a couple batmen.

On the otherhand, at least it's not as bad as the JLU line.
And not even a fraction as bad as any of Hasbro's batman lines.

i think if their going to make another 70s batman they need to remake the head sculpt make it look more like neal adams art keep the body mold but give him more damage like a tore up cape and mold the rips into his body that would be cool plus by keeping the same body mold mattel still saves money but only in my dreams i guess

dont get me wrong im greatful for what mattel has done in the dcuc and dcsh lines they have provided some kick ass figs but i guess with the economy being what it is i cant really down them for doing this nothing that alittle customizing cant do i guess

Just to clarify Jetty. Viking and Myself do not own a Batman figure because unlike the Wolverine figures in MU, Batman goes for a lot for a decent one. So both Viking and Myself would be happy with any one at this rate. Now...what 2 Batman figures you don't want/need anymore...

Well my main point was, for all the Batman's (Batmen?) that have been released, that one looks pretty damn good.

i don't mean to jump in but am I understanding you right that you have no dcuc batman figs at all

At all. DCUC was only at one retailer in Canada, that being TRU. I came in late to the game so Batman has never been seen unless it was at a comic shop for 30 bucks +.

do you collect figs moc or loose I collect moc but I have a dcuc black and grey all star batman and a dcuc sinestro corp batman loose I can give you I have the same figs moc so it's no loss to me

I've always been a moc colle don't have the extra cash to buy doubles the house my wife and I bought gets dusty quick so I put them in jumbo ziplock bags which she thinks is funny as hell says I'm ocd

I'm sure he'd appreciate that as long as you were willing to ship it to Canada.

Well, to be fair, I did say "most."

I have the black one from Walmart wave 10 (I think? The imperiex wave) that at the time was the only Batman I could get. They hadn'y put one out in a while from when I seriously started collecting the line.
I got the Allstar a few years later and that's my main one until I find one I like better.
Then I also aquired the Legacy silverage Batman in order to get Catman and Batgirl.
Haven't even taken him out of the package.
I'm willing to part with them if you guys are interested.

it's no problem I've got one guy that wants one I don't know if it's him he said he's from canada so that might be him I'm just glad I've got people I can talk to about my hobby it will give my wife a break she supports me but she's into twilight and true blood you know the big vampire movement theses days

Read I, Vampire of the New 52. If there is anything Vampire you HAVE to see/read, make sure it is that. haha

I will check it out my wife might like it as well she loves those true blood comic series my 6 yr old and 5 yr old girls love twilight so I had to see all of the movies wearing my red jacob shirt sometimes being a dad in a house full of woman means you have to leave ur balls on the old fire place mantle when you get home lol

Nanananananananananananana BATMAN!!!... Thought that may have been relevant.
