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.

You know the Batgirl/Batman 2 pack only goes for about $35.00 U.S

True, but I REALLY want the set with Azrael.

[Prowl 2009]

Got another nice shot from WonderCon 2011, thanks to our friends over at DCUC.info, which shows off Wave 18 Captain Boomerang & Bronze Tiger as well as Batman Legacy Dick Sprag Batman and the new Joker, featuring a design and head sculpt which again resembles the Clown Prince of Crime's Golden Age Brave and the Bold appearance!

Enjoy! Thanks to DCUC.info for the attached shot!

And, DC Fans can also check out Sean Long's WonderCon 2011 video which shows off what we can expect in the Batman Legacy line coming in Fall 2011!

Azrael was a tough find even on a single card. Who knows maybe we'll see that figure again. It seems like they're reissuing almost everything.

So true but you never know what will come if Green Lantern the movie is huge success.

Got another DCUC WonderCon 2011 shot from our friends over at DCUC.info, this one giving us a nice look at the Arkham City Batman / Two-Face 2-pack!

Enjoy!

The Fwoosh recently conducted its latest Ask Matty Q&A session and they had some interesting things to say regarding our favourite DCUC brand!

Q: When will you be unveiling the next wave of DCUC figures? Last year, series 15 was debuted in May, can we expect the same this year for series 19?

A: Likely at SDCC if not before hand.

Q: When is DCUC 17 scheduled to hit store shelves? Seems like forever since 16 was released.

A: There are no release dates for retail product (unlike Mattycollector.com). New retail product ships the faster current retail product sells through and stores re-order.

Thoughts?

Perhaps there's some qc isuues with wave # 17. I heard June for wave # 17 but that remains to be seen.

I haven't personally seen Wave 17, but isn't this wave already readily available in Blackest Night packaging? I have seen all of this wave on eBay for more than two months except for the white & black Hal figures.

Like they said, the stores that have burned through their initial stock of Wave 1 DCUGL series and Wave 16 (and older) and/or All Star DCUC figs have probably replenished their stock, but if there isn't room on the pegs due to poor sales, these Wave 17 figs might not make the rounds for wide distribution.

Most of the stores I visit are just now stocking Wave 2 DCUGL figures (Sodam Yat, Skallox/Nite Lik, Medphyll/Nautkeloi, etc.), and some of them are still flooded with Wave 1 DCU figures, especially Manhunter.

Outside of eBay, Wave 17 should start showing up en masse over the next 4-8 weeks as Wave 1 & 2 DCUGL stock dwindles.

At least hopefully, right?

One can only hope. Personally I'm skipping wave # 17 with the exception of Scarecrow. Wave # 18 is a must have for my collection and then its on to Batman: Legacy. I heard wave # 19 is JSA themed and wave # 20 is more Blackest Night figures. Another two waves I'll be skipping almost entirely. Also, what's up with the SDCC exclusives this year from Mattel one year ago exactly they announced them and in a previous Q and A Toy Guru did say that the exclusives would be revealed in April. So ....

Not like ebay sellers are particularly noteworthy for being honest and reputible, by aquiring their toys through legal means.

Online retailers, like BBTS are far truer indicators of what's about to hit shelves. And the Blackest Night wave hasn't hit them yet.

[Prowl 2009]

I heard June also for Wave #17.

Only getting the Scarecrow from that line though.

Will probably end up getting the entire 18th Wave though, all those characters are awesome and I must have them in my DCUC collection as well.

[Prowl 2009]

Big news today for the MOSC DCUC collector: Zolo World has released a series of protective action figure cases for the popular Mattel line this month!

Also, going hand in hand with this news, The Pop Culture Network has a review of these cases, meant to fit the figures released in the DCUC line!

NOTE: These will NOT fit the GLC figures!

Thanks to Pop Culture Network and Zolo World for passing this our way!

[Crazy Jetty]

Forget packaging for packaging, They need to make figure stands. D:

[Optimus Vader]

My local TRU is loaded with Manhunter Robots.. about 10 of them. And of course, 6 Mary Batsons.

Like these?

MattyCollector.com Online Store - DC Universe Classics Figure Stands

[Crazy Jetty]

Yes. But Matty's been out of stock since cybermonday (Was going to buy them, but the stupid site glitched out, and they were sold out when it finally stablized, 3 days later). With no sign of them ever making more.

[jimster2010]

So the SDCC exclusive this year is Swamp Thing - Hell yes

[Prowl 2009]

For those who've yet to hear the news, this years SDCC 2011 DCUC Exclusive is Swamp Thing! That's right! This fan demand figure will soon be available at a price of $30 both at this year's SDCC and on MattyCollector.com!

Featuring endoskeletal articulation (the first of its kind), Swamp Thing comes packaged in a paper pulp mold of a Swamp Thing head and houses Swamp Thing himself! No ordinary packaging can contain Swamp Thing, so he’ll be packed in a shipper box with the Swamp Thing head peering out.

Mark your calenders as July 15th is when the figure will be available for order on MattyCollector's website!

Enjoy the attached photos of this awesome looking addition to the DCUC line and thanks to Action Figure Insider for all the juicy info!

[trebleshot]

I worry about what kind of material they used for the outer layer on Swampy, and that it might disintegrate over time like a lot of rubber accessories/parts have done on other figures.

And the endoskeletal may be a new take on the idea, but it's certainly not the first. Japan did it a while ago (I think it was either SiC or Figurarts).

Beyond those two complaints/concerns, this is a really cool exclusive and I like the packaging. Very true to the character.

[Prowl 2009]

A small update regarding SDCC 2011 DCUC Swamp Thing from MattyCollector arrived today: If you purchase Swamp Thing at this year's SDCC, you'll also get bonus figures of Un-Men Ophidian and Cranius that will not be available unless purchased at the show.

Thanks Matty!

[Prowl 2009]

MattyCollector.com, via their Facebook Page, passed on some shots of Swamp Thing's articulation this afternoon! Remember, Swampy will be the first DCUC figure to feature endoskeletal articulation!

Enjoy the attached photos and thanks to MattyCollector.com for passing these our way!

[Prowl 2009]
