Arrow is not horrendous in my book. One of the best live action superhero shows ever made, IMO. And In my top three (along with Once Upon a Time, and Walking Dead) favorite shows on air.

Also, they'll never do a non-costumed character. So no Lois. No Chloe. No Lana. Hell, we've never gotten a DCUC Comissioner Gordon or Lex Luthor (Who's not in a stupid superfriends costume).

CMIII 02-23-2013 06:26 PM

Honestly I did watch arrow episodes 1 & 2 I could no longer take it. I have no Idea where in DC Starlyn City is but it needs to be Nuked with all Citizens

ToyAddict 02-23-2013 07:51 PM

You should've kept watching! It got real interesting after that, once it started introducing other characters. Deathstroke, Deadshot, Vertigo, Huntress. So far, I like this show better than Smallville. . .but that's probably me remembering how much I didn't like the final few seasons of Smallville (once Rosenbaum was out it just wasn't the same for me; and, as much as I didn't like Lana, Lois was no better for me). It's not comic accurate, but I think it's as close as we're going to get to a Batman show. (That's really what this seems to be. . .Green Arrow as a surrogate for Batman). And yes, much of the acting is not the best, but the stories seem pretty good.

CMIII 02-24-2013 04:57 PM

actually Bird of Prey 22 episodes was as close as we got. I will say I just didn't like Arrow thats my choice as for Smallville the only episodes after season 6 that weren't worthless were Absolute Justice and the Finale

ToyAddict 02-24-2013 07:33 PM

Just comparing plot points between Batman and the Arrow show:

Really rich playboy type
Feels the need to save his city from its evil elements
Triggered by the death of Arrow's father/Batman's parents
Gets a sidekick to help him (well, now Arrow has 2 kind of; Batman has several)
Is away for a long time, when he does his training (kinda Batman Begins)
Has all kinds of high-tech gadgets to aid his crime fighting
Has connections to the police

CMIII 02-24-2013 08:10 PM

the sad part about the non costumed the Sculpts are there if you took Phantom Strangers body no cape and put Lex head on it you'd have a Suited Lex

Well, there's a reason. Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter were created to be a "poorman's Batman and Superman."

When DC created the concept of the Justice League, (And I can't remember which) either they knew they couldn't use Batman and Superman for every story and needed to have substitutes, or they could not use those two at all for the concept at first and needed to create substitutes.

CMIII 03-06-2013 06:34 PM

Ok another question.

In recent years we have not seen figures appear on the shelves for instance DC All Stars wave 1 never made it to stores for many of us (I never saw them at least) and at other times either so few of certain figures shipped from the DC Classics wave 20 Red and Green Arrows never saw the shelves in my area that we have had to rely on Ebay or Amazon just to complete Collect and Connects and waves. Is there a way for Mattel to ensure that numbers are even with these figures or that these figures make it to the stores?

1) One notable villain yet to be made since the DCUC line began has been Ras Al Ghul. How much longer will we have to wait for a figure of him(comic version)?
A) Hopefully not long. We’d love to get to him in time.

But they're busy with other things... you know... like BATMAN.

2012 Club Infinite Earth figures return?
 
When can we expect the 2012 Club Infinite Earths figures (Jay Garrick Flash, Atrocitus, Mirror Master, Poison Ivy, etc.) to show back up in the Mattel toy store? All those old Masters of the Universe figures get cycled through again. Will the 2012 DC Universe Classics figures show up again or are they gone for good?

Starscream99 03-30-2013 07:10 PM

Why do WWE Elite Series come in in 2 different assortments? Like 21A and 21B. Makes Sense when you did Kevin Nash/Diesel but when Miss Elizabeth came out she was only in one of those cases and made her impossible to find at retail.

They are gone for good.

CMIII 04-03-2013 04:14 PM

Hopefully not long that's a very obscure answer that could be anytime between Now and the end of time

Crazy Jetty 04-05-2013 03:11 PM

Question:

Is there a particular reason Mattel stopped the oversized figures in the Club Infinite Earths subscription? The only one slated for 2013 is Mallah.

CMIII 04-12-2013 05:09 PM

Question:

The most recent figures released from Club infinite Earths had room for additional Accessories like Lantern Constructs, attachment for Platinum, or switchable parts for Elongated man is there a reason that few if any were included? Because many fans would have liked to see more with Elongated man in particular

Any plans for 3.75 '60's Batman figures? Even just Bats will do the trick for me.

BUMP

Man, NO WONDER the 1966 Batman figures looked awkward to me!

CMIII 05-01-2013 04:27 PM

ok what kind of Answer is that? No overreaching Rule. You gave Plastic Man a full box of accessories Elongated Man, Same powers and abilities, and you make him the Red Headed Step Child of the Series and give him a Hand and Looking Glass. The real answer was

cost factors involved
we were to cheap to remold stretchy Arms and a neck Extender. Bravo Mattel you are officially CHEAP

Starscream99 05-01-2013 05:27 PM

Will we ever see another WWE Elite wrestling Ring at retail?

webz 05-02-2013 12:00 AM

This might seem silly to many, but since many of the main MOTUC figures are out and they seem to be grasping for ideas, why not make 7 or 8 inch "animation accurate" versions of some of the main characters (particularly He-Man, Skeletor, and Mer-Man)... sort of the "Masterpiece" line if you will..

These figures could have even more detail, look more faithful to the animation, and would sell like crazy, even at a $60 or $80 price.

Not enough sub holders to justify the skus. The more sub holders we get the more skus we can offer. Like we did with MOTU.
I find this to be a very straight forward and reasonable answer. I am pleased.
