^Yeah, if they gave us the Crime Syndicate for $75, then I'm pretty sure the price of this set will be Deadshot-like-accurate as well. (Though, the ring and Proto might be exluded freebies).

[RiZ]

Well if you ring it up to $15 a regular size figure, and $30 for the big one. And of coarse $5 for the ring and invisible kid, thats $200 easy.

That's pretty much what I did (Aside from counting Invisible kid).
Also considering that Colossol boy is a BaF level figure.. $200 easy.

[RiZ]

yeah , I threw invisible kid in there, because if they could get $5 for Wonder Woman's invisible jet, then they might just charge for him too lol

At Comic Con this year, Mattel stated the set would run $180 + shipping, so yeah, this will at least run you $200 easy.

Two small DCUC announcements have just hit my inbox, so I figured I'd pass them on to everyone....

. To Canadian fans, it appears Winners is starting to stock DCUC figures at $7.99 according to AFN members lars573 and pandaprime. Currently, the sitings were made at Winners in BC and Nova Scotia and seem to consist of figures from waves 11 (Kilowog), 13 (Trigon) & 15 (Validus).

DC Universe Classics figures at Winners - ActionFigureNews.ca - Canadian Action Figure News and Discussion

. According to the Matty Collector forums, it seems Mattel is trying to move the DCUC Infinate Earth's Club subscription forward.

Said Toy Guru on the sites forum:

The final tally was around 60-62% (I’ll need to ask the DC team for an exact number). We are literally reviewing the numbers to see if their is anyway to go forward now that we are under 100%. It may take another week or so before we will know an answer. Fans have been so passionate, but in the end it comes down to whether their are enough of them to move forward with this program!

Thanks to Mattel for the update!

[RiZ]

Thanks for the info. I didnt know they had announced a price. Id love to see that many waves at discount stores around me. All I have found is wave 12 at TJMaxx for $6.99 each. I hope they do go through with the sub, so all the people that wanted it can get it, It makes me wonder if they'll change the sub because they didnt get the numbers they wanted.

[Prowl 2009]

Two small DCUC updates have once again entered my mailbox this morning...

. Here is the latest update from Toy Guru regarding what's going on with the DCUC Club Infinite Earth's at this point:

New from Toy guru:
"If the sub goes through it will be at the advertised price.

However, we are exploring the possibilty of higher prices for non sub holders who buy product day of (i.e. cherry pickers). This is similar to how magazines cost more at a news stand vs. having a subscription. This is only one of many options we are exploring based on the subscription numbers we got (less then the needed... 100%) and is not at all the direction we are for sure going in. Right now we are just exploring many options to see if anything is possible to keep the sub alive based on the lower then expected sub interest.

But for those who bought a sub, if the sub goes forward you are locked in to the advertised prices even if maybe possibly day of prices goes up slightly (1 or 2 dollars).

If the sub is canceled, yes of course full refunds will be given for any charges!

. TRU Canada has gotten in touch with me and has said that Canadian fan's will want to check their local TRU and online for the next batch of Batman Legacy figures (Wave 2) around early to mid September as they should be showing up at Canadian retailers around that time.

Thanks to MattyCollector and TRU Canada for today's updates!

[ToyAddict]

Not sure this is the right thread for this but I'll throw it out there. . .

If anyone is looking for the DC Universe Crime Syndicate 5pack, it's up on Walmart's website. But you have to search with "DC Universe" or something else. Nowhere on the listing does it say "Crime Syndicate" and it doesn't even show the box. Guess they don't want the corporate image of supporting crime LOL.

It also says they aren't sold in stores. . .funny, I've seen it at two out of the three Walmarts I've been to recently.

[LXL_Guy]

Should one create a new thread for Young Justice 6'' figures or is it possible to discuss them in here since they kind of fall in line with Classics somewhat?!

[hrothgars]

Go for it! Win yourself some "thread points."

In all honesty, I prefer a separate thread for all the different lines (even if they are slow moving at first).

Just one guy's opinion.

[iLegends73]

does anyone know the fate of dcuc? will 20 be the last wave? and whats goin on with the subs?

Several people over at Matty Collector's Facebook page say their credit cards were charged today for the DCUC Infinite Earth club, causing many to believe it is going through. They also believe, since it marks the launch of the DCnU, tomorrow is when an announcement will be made.

Keep those fingers crossed guys!

thanx i could finad any news about this anywhere

[Prowl 2009]

Please take the following with a grain of salt...

In regards to the DCUC Infinite Earths club, some members of the MattyCollector Facebook page are claiming their credit cards were charged for the club sub. However, there is one sole member claiming he has inside info from Mattel claiming the club is a no-go and they're in the process of refunding. He hasn't supplied a statement or proof of this claim from Mattel. So, as of right now, we still don't know which way things will swing. Although many believe, since tomorrow will mark the launch of the DCnU, we will hear something by tomorrow...

[Prowl 2009]

Today, we have some more Ask Matty answers regarding DCUC...

From Action Figure Blues:

Q: Can you please explain what "no more waves" for DCUC (or whatever it becomes) means exactly? How will future figures appear at retail?

A: Instead of appearing in waves, figures will simply be in mixes. This means that you’ll see a few figures on shelf at a time, but not an entire wave of figures, united by a theme or a collect-and-connect figure.

Q: We are looking forward to the Legion of Superheroes DCUC Boxed Set! Are there are other larger selections of characters like this in the pipeline?

A: We loved creating the Legion of Superheroes pack! If large packs with a collection of characters make sense in the future, it’s definitely something that we’d explore again. In the interim, be sure to visit Mattycollector.com on October 17 to pick up your Legion of Superheroes pack!

From TheFwoosh:

Q: When we will know more information about the definitive DC plans for retail and other outlets in 2012? At this point, any news would be welcome as we are all kind of hanging.


A: More updates to come at NYCC and on Mattycollector.com!

Q: You said that with the DC subscription, the larger characters would no long have size restrictions due to the packaging. Can you give us a realistic idea of what that means though in relation to the price point? Tytus and Megator were both $40 and not much bigger than Giganta, would it be about the same thing we can expect for a $30 price?

A: There are some differences between the DCU and MOTU lines, so it’s hard to make a direct comparison. What we can say is that the oversized DCU figures will be sure to delight the fans!


Q: Matty – even with DC doing this (seemingly) poorly-conceived relaunch of their universe and characters, why is there not room at retail for both parent and kid friendly lines, as well as collector lines with classic figures? Why does the division of retail and Matty Collector have to be made so sharply? The “adult collector” market is still very much alive.

A: Yes, we know that the adult collector market is very much alive, and that’s why we wanted to offer the best solution for that market…product that lives on the Mattel home for action figure collector product – Mattycollector.com.

Q: Matty, I am a DC fan that signed up for not one, but TWO subscriptions to the Club Infinite Earths. I did this because I want to continue to collect the classic characters that I know and love. For the first time I feel like I have to rely on other fan’s (not retailers) commitment in order to continue to take part in a hobby that I have loved for a long time. If the sub does not go through what is next for someone like me? Someone who bought in and encourged others to do so? When does doing all that is being asked of me to let my hobby continue not being enough become okay? I am starting to feel very alientated so I really hope that sub goes through. Thanks.

A: We have an awesome line up of characters that we’d love to produce, and we’re hoping just as much as you are that Club Infinite Earths goes through!

From Infinite Hollywood:

Q: On the recent MattyCollector poll for the DCUC figure, Black Lantern Swamp Thing was mentioned as a possible choice. Assuming you guys ever decided to make this character, would he be made of rubber like the SDCC Swamp Thing and essentially be a "repaint" for lack of a better word or would be actually full sculpted poseable figure as highly requested by fans?

A: If we proceeded with Black Lantern Swamp Thing, he would not just be a repaint. Additional decisions would be made closer to production, but for now we can say that he would not just be a repaint.

Thanks to everyone who shared these answers with us!

[Prowl 2009]

Mattel's DCUC Infinite Earth's Club is moving forward DC Fans! Here is the update from Fan Girl 2.0, posted only moments ago to the MattyCollector Facebook page!!!

Hi DC Universe Club Infinite Earths fans!

We have some good news...the 2012 DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscription program is moving forward! As you know, we did not hit the number of subscribers we were seeking for the club, but we know that there are some very passionate DC Universe fans, so we found a way to make the program work.

Current subscribers will get 6" and oversized figures according to the schedule that was originally communicated at San Diego Comic Con and online. All figures that have been revealed will be part of the subscription program.

In order to make the program work, we needed to raise prices for day-of sales. So if you are NOT a subscriber, you will be paying more for the figures on the day of the sale. The good news for subscribers is that you are locked in at the subscription rates previously advertised.

And the even better news is that we are exploring re-opening the subscription program for a limited window of time. We've heard fans online posting that they wish that they had subscribed, so now you'll get that chance. Be on the lookout for more details and dates next week.

We still have more good news, we are excited to reveal the winning club exclusive figure...Metron! So all of the subscribers will get their very own Metron, along with his Mobius Chair!

All of this good news will hopefully mean a fabulous start to the weekend for all of the DC Universe fans!

-FanGirl 2.0

Don't know about you guys, but this made my day!!!

[KshatriyaNZ666]

^Holy crap - YES!!

Really didn't expect Metron to win, but I'm really happy with the choice anyway!

Oh, and heap of thanks to you for the great news Prowl 2009!!

No prob, buddy! It's what I do.

I was hoping Rocket Red would win, but I ain't complaining about Metron! Maybe Rocket Red and Black Lantern Swamp Thing will be future releases!

[Tiberius]

Phew! Glad I didn't sub! Not into Metron so that was an easy reason not too. If it was Rocket Red...different story. I don't mind paying a few extra bucks for ONE figure if it means I have a choice on what I want to buy. This sub is GREAT for HARDCORE DCUC fans and completionists, sadly, I am neither of those [don't get me wrong, I LOVE DC comics]. I am happy that my fellow Arkers who signed up get what they want! I just wish they would of told us all the figures they where going to make. I may just of signed up if they did...

Problem here is that the people who didn't subscribe, and then say they wished they had of, were dissapointed that the subscription didn't meet it's goal as they expected it would. Thus wished they had supported it, instead of rely on others to.
Now that the subscription is going forward reguardless, if they reopen the window to allow those hangers-on to join in, they will not because the club is indeed moving forward.
I'm actually against this idea in the long run. These people had what, almost a month? Mattel kept the subscriptions for *all* their clubs open just so these people had the opportunity to jump on the bandwagon for this club.
Let them scramble around on sales day for their piece.

Metron greatly dissappoints me. Rocket Red is my preference, for his link to JLI. Swamp Thing honestly isn't a character I care about or want. But as a Black (or White) Lantern, he'll always have a place on my shelf.
That said, I'm reasonably sure that they have plans for producing all these characters in this fans choice poll. I think this poll was more geared towards being "Who should be the subscription exclusive?

Personally, I think if they had offered a tall slender mold as Wally West Flash for a membership incentive, that might have gotten a lot of people to sign up.

[thechris]

Crap, I guess Shaggy Man fans will go wanting... LOL, no seriously. I was hoping Rocket Red or Swamp Thing, but this still beats Shaggy Man.

[Prowl 2009]

Hopefully Rocket Red and BL Swamp Thing will be released as the other two oversized figures for the year.

You know... I'm genuinely curious at the poll results.
I can't imagine Shaggy Man *not* getting any votes, but from what I read out of everyone, fans and non-fans alike, the responce to his inclusion seems to be largely "Who the eff is Shaggyman?"

Therefore, I genuinely wonder how many real votes he got, and how many votes he got from people trying to screw with the poll.
Being part of the New Gods group (A group I don't care about), I can understand him winning. But I would have genuinely been floored, and suspected foul play if Shaggyman won.

OH I HOPE SO!! I really, really, really, really, really hope so, unless Oversize figures are only availible for subscribers.
