I'll need Captain Boomerang, but everything else is a massive pass for me.

Toy Fair 2011 also gave Young Justice fans something to look forward to this coming year in the form of some awesome looking figures in several different scales. Feast your eyes on some of Mattel's first offerings to fans in their soon-to-be-released Young Justice figure line!

Enjoy and thanks to Toy News International for the pictures! ;)

Toy Fair 2011 also gave us our first look at the earlier hinted at Batman Legacy line, a group of figures featuring characters and designs from the Batman comics, movies and Arkham Asylum video game....

The figures shown include:

Two-Face
Mr. Freeze
Joker
Gordon
Batman (DCUC style)
Batman (Arkham Asylum style)

Enjoy the attatched pictures thanks to AFI! ;)

Like I said in the YJ thread...
WHY IS ARTIMUS NOT IN MY HANDS RIGHT NAOW?!?

I need two! One for her, and one to customize into Speedy.

I'm most excited for the Crime Syndicate 5 pack.

Then you'll enjoy these latest batch of pictures of the Crime Syndicate box set:

MattyCollector was kind enough to pass on these shots of the newly showed off DCUC Wave 18 from their Facebook page!!!

Like I said earlier, I am Super excited for Samuari, Captain Boomerang and Bronze Tiger! :D

ok that Captain Boomerang looks good.

Rumor Time...

Well, DCUC waves 17 and 18 have both been revealed, and were pretty close to the rumors that had been circulating around the net starting late in 2010. Well, not surprisingly, we have some rumors starting to circulate regarding the 19th wave in the series....

According to forums on The Fwoosh, DCUC Wave 19 is planned to be a Golden Age wave featuring a few members of the JSA. To back up this claim, Toy Guru has stated the following over at the MattyCollector forums: "Wave 19 will actually have a handful of Golden Age characters."

Who would these characters be, you might ask? Well, speculation seems to point to us finally seeing Jay Garrick (Flash) as well as Wesley Dodds (Sandman) and a C&C Shaggy Man...

Again, these are just rumors for the time being, but remember, the last two lines ended up being pretty close to their original rumor lists as well! Take it with a grain of salt, but I've got to admit, I'd love to add Garrick and Dodds to my DCUC collection! :

Thoughts???

My sources say Jay Garrick is a for sure but didn't confirm which wave he'll be in. I hope he has a removable helmet.

So long as we get him, I'll be happy.

Wouldn't mind Wesley Dodds either to be honest.

I've been banging on the drum for that Wesley Dodds for a long time also Huntress and Earth II Robin wouldn't be bad either.

^^ Yes, Huntress is another Must Have in DCUC, in my opinion. Would also really like to see Mattel give us a DCUC Vigilante (Greg Saunders). :D

Check out The Fwoosh's latest Q&A session with MattyCollector, dealing with DCUC, including whether or not we'll ever see Granny Goodness in the DCUC line....

From The Fwoosh...

Q: Will the DCUC 18 Bronze Tiger be the variant figure for that series? He was displayed with two heads but none of the figures were specifically marked as the series variant.

A: There will be a variant pack-out with each head, but both versions will come with both heads.

Q: This one is for Toy Guru – Sir, we heard that you are lamenting the fact that our dear old Granny Goodness was never able to appear in the JLU line. Wouldn’t the very best medicine for that ailment be a Granny Goodness figure in the DCUC line? She would make a great addition to our favorite DC line!

A: She certainly would. Even in the DCUC line she is a 100% tool and we only have one or two slots per year for a figure with this much tooling. She is a candidate for a slot like this, but just is not slotted in yet. Maybe down the road!

Thoughts?

I think its a high probability for DCUC version of Granny Goodness. I would like Granny and rest of the New Gods to show up in the Young Justice line as well.
I heard through the grapevine we may actually see some movie masters version of Nicholson and Keaton from the Batman 1989 movie. the 4H have been dying to do them. I see that Scott alluded to something similiar in the Q and A. I'm going to be starting up my own blog site soon. I have enough connections and advertising offers to give me the gumption to do so. Stay tuned...

I don't care much for the new gods (They bore me, for the most part), but Granny Goodness is one I'd get.

Granny would go great with C&C Darkseid and Kalibak.

If you ask me, perhaps not as this point, but soon, we need a Granny Goodness figure.

Sorry they're a bit late, been sick with the flu since last Tuesday. But, we have some new and official Batman Legacy photos!

Included in the attatched pictures from Toy Ark are:

Arkham City Batman & Two-Face
Batman Begins Batman (Prototype Suit) and Jim Gordon
Batman Legacy Modern Age Batman
Silver Age Mr. Freeze

I am personally excited for the Arkham City 2-pack, but the others really don't catch my interest. Especially Mr. Freeze, he's just too oddly colored for my tastes.

Thoughts?

DCUC was once again a topic for discussion in the latest Ask Matty Q&A conducted by The Fwoosh, in their latest series of questions, the gang breifly touches on famous female DCUC characters they're itching to produce and hint at what we can expect for waves 19 & 20....


Q: Toy Guru, who is your number one most wanted female character for the DCUC line that has not been produced yet? What about some of the other people that work on the line? What ladies are popular in the Mattel offices?

A: We really want to get to Fire and Ice to get some more JLU characters out there. I’d also say Poison Ivy and Granny Goodness come up a lot in internal discussions.

Q: It is easy to see that the next two DCUC series (17 and 18) have a common “theme” for the most part (Rainbow Lanterns and Super Friends respectively); can we expect a return to a more “balanced” assortment scheme starting with series 19? It was nice when the waves has a little “something for everyone” in them.

A: Some more balance will be restored when we get to Wave 20. 19 will still have a bit of a theme to it (though not as much as Wave 17 which went 100% and fans didn’t see to care for that as much).

Thoughts? I myself would love to see a Poison Ivy figure made and as for Wave 19, if it's going to have a theme, perhaps this supports the earlier rumor it may be a JSA heroes and villians line.

What do you all think?

Pop Culture Network just recently posted up some new videos of Mattel's DCUC, Young Justice and Green Lantern Movie and Classics Displays at the 2011 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo! Check them out here:

MattyCollector posted a shot of the upcoming Silver Age Batgirl on their Facebook page, which premiered at WonderCon this past weekend!

For those wondering about the figures utility belt, Mattel says:

For those fans wondering about the Batgirl premiere at WonderCon, note that the actual figure will have the correct Batgirl belt. For this weekend she's just borrowing one of Batman's belts."

More info on this great repaint as it becomes available! Thanks to MattyCollector for passing on the attached shot!

I like it but I'm more excited about the last 2 JLU 3 packs coming out on mattycollector.com only 2 years after they were showcased at SDCC.

Did you go to C2E2? I did becasue I was covering the show for my website and a friend's webiste. I liked it except Mattel really scimped on displaying the Batman Legacy figures

Nah, didn't make it out there this year.

I am so glad we're getting another chance at Batgirl, I really REALLY wanted the 2-pack with DCSH Azrael, but no way in Hell I am paying those crazy eBay prices, so I guess this is my chance to get my hands on a Barbara Gordon Batgirl finally.

DCUC.info passed on a shot of yet another Batman piece we can expect in the newly announced Batman Legacy line, which will hit retailers in Fall 2011.

Feast your eyes on the attached photo, which shows a figure that strongly resembles Batman from The Brave and the Bold in DCUC scale...

Thoughts?
