Toy Fair 2011 DC Universe Classics

Shin Densetsu · 02-13-2011, 02:36 AM

I love me some DCUC! What do you think Mattel will be showing later for DCUC? Personally, I'm hoping to see Armor Attack Batman from the 4H's 6" Batman line return! 1st fully articulated Batman figure by them!

Crazy Jetty · 02-13-2011, 04:51 AM

After nothing but dissapointment from Transformers, all my hopes rest on DCUC and Green Lantern. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm pretty sure we'll see the next three DCUC lines.

jimster2010 · 02-13-2011, 09:48 AM

My sources tell me that only 1 waveof DCUC, I'm thinking it's the Super Friends wave, will be shown, along with some previously announced JLU figures from the last 2 years that never made out onto the shelves, there's supposedly a "big" Batman announcement which could only mean a preview of the Dark Knight Classics series consisting of 2 maybe 3 waves that are mostly repaints and reissues with possibility of one new figure per wave in that series, and the rest of the Mattel presentation for DC s all about the Green Lantern. I hope there's more to it than that but Matty already confirmed just 1 wave will be shown with more to come at SDCC.

Well, if they're going to be really promoting GL, then it's more likely they'll show the Blackest Night wave, over the Superfriends.

True, but that wave already had its reveal on facebook over a moth ago. I'm sure we will see wave # 17 at Toy Fair but you can pretty much take it to the bank that we'll also see GLC wave # 2 carded, GL movie figures, as well as wave # 18 as the big reveal for DCUC. My sources come from first hand accounts, not some reposts off other message boards, who are reliable but do have limited knowledge however I wouldn't bother posting this information if I wasn't 100% confident about it. That's how I do.

It looks like my sources were right on the money.

Prowl 2009 · 02-13-2011, 02:38 PM

Very excited for Samuari, Captain Boomerang and Bronze Tiger!!

Nice to see a James Gordan figure in the Batman Legacy line as well!

And that Crime Syndicate Boxset is beyond awesome!

jimster2010 · 02-13-2011, 02:42 PM

Can't wait

Snowflakian · 02-13-2011, 05:19 PM

I'm excited for the Young Justice line now that I've seen some of it, I just hope the smaller figures get real articulation before they hit the market.

Prime dude · 02-13-2011, 06:40 PM

I hope Young Justice gets better articulation.

Captain Boomerang's neck is... Really long...

Johnny Quick's costume looks like there's an arrow pointing to somewhere...

SarahMobius · 02-14-2011, 04:59 AM

The Crime Syndicate 5 pack is my biggest "omg must have" from toy fair (next to the GI Joe Starscream Skystriker) but I saw on action figure times that it's a Walmart exclusive

denali33x · 02-14-2011, 04:15 PM

how about "heroic" lex luthor and jester 2 pack?

pud333 · 02-14-2011, 09:08 PM

Must. Have. Please don't be exclusive...

Something like that would make my head explode

Morzilla · 02-14-2011, 10:25 PM

A BOX SET?!? Doods that's going to suck it so hard

bad enough I can't afford the Legion figures that are on Matty's site and the this comes along.....booo BOOO ): [

trebleshot · 02-15-2011, 06:49 AM

That Crime Syndicate 5-pack looks pretty cool, but the regular price for those sets is usually more than I'm willing to spend. Maybe I'll luck out and catch one on on sale or clearance at some point.

They all look great, but a 12-pack for DCUC seems a bit too much, considering the size and MSRP. I hope it does well though, since I want more Legion figures to come out. Well, at least until they put out a Lobo

You....were....disappointed by Transformers?!

Dude, that Ark playset alone is awesome! Not to mention that Generations will continue as a separate line alongside DotM. And DotM has some good stuff coming out too (even if you're like me and don't care for the MechTech gimmick).

Oh, yeah and TF: Prime toys!

All kidding aside, I'm just very surprised you didn't find something in that avalanche of TF news to interest you. But I guess you like what you like.

I hate the movies (They're crass, aweful, horribly written, and ugly designs), Prime is the most boringly written series (Boring story, boring world setting, boring designs. The only series MORE boring is IDW's current ongoing), and Generations I will not believe until I see new waves released six months after DotM launches. The fact they have not shown off anything from Generations or even mentioned Generations does not bode well.
Hasbro said that both Universe and Animated would continue along side RotF. When the reality is both lines were cancelled a couple months in advance.
So if the Hasbro TF team says Generations will continue, it's more likely based on history, that they are either lying, or factors beyond their control will end it.

Both Animated and Universe were delayed to prolong the first movie series. And indeed an entire wave's worth of toys got taken out of Universe, and shifted into being more movie. Both lines were cut short for the second movie, so neither would compete. In fact a few universe toys that were too late to cancel got shifted into movie, at the end.
So, while I would be thrilled if Generations does indeed continue, seeing is believing.

As for the DotM toys, I like the scouts. I like leader Sentinel. And I like Voyager Megatron. Those are the only ones that interest me.
I also like that the legends are finally getting something to do with their playsets, but since they're movie I don't really care to get them.

that power ring head better be reused as a parallax later on.
