Wondering about DCUC wave 17

felks22us · 10-06-2011, 03:59 PM

I was thinking about wave 17 , what do you guys think about it ? what are your likes and dislike about this set ...

I am thinking about get it because of only 3 characters..

I really like the Star Sapphire and Blue Lanter Flash are honestly the only ones I am interisted in. The scarecrow is like the best I have ever seen but they mucked it up by making him a Sinestro Corps member. Something I find odd is the deputy lanterns never got lanterns but the toys do. Its also odd wonder woman gets a brand new lantern. But Star Sapphire gets zip

felks22us · 10-06-2011, 05:03 PM

ooo ok well I got scarecrow coming in for now but I do like the other 2 you said . hmmm I might getting them all , in the long run . thanks for the heads up.

The Anti Monitor is small for how big he normally is but hey he still looks AMAZING!

I personally like the whole wave. When wave 20 comes out and if you get the C&C Nekron you got yourself a pretty nice setup there. The only thing I don't like is the fact that we got an Orange Lantern Lex before we got Larfleeze... very weird. I also didn't like the fact that Mera wasn't in the wave, though I would be complaining about how we got her and not Atrocitus.

EDIT: Wait, I just realized we got Indigo Tribesman Atom and not Indigo herself, too...Same goes for Flash and Saintwalker! What the hell? And on top of that we didn't need a black or white lantern Hal Jordan, that should have been Mera's spot! I officially dislike this wave.

Yeah, it makes ZERO sense. Plus Matty really needs to stop giving that BS about mera needing too much tooling. Especially when wave 19 has Magog AND Lord Naga who needs new tooling.

I think Magog is the one that has a poorly made gun attachment on his waste. Why make a highly articulated action figure with a crappy gun holster that can't even be used (the gun and holster are one in the same)?

Yeah that holster gun combo is kinda dumb but ya know what besides that hes an amazing figure that is bassicly completly retooled.

The only complaints I have about this wave:
Plastics are waaaay too cheap and soft. But that's now the norm for DCUC.
Antimonitor is way too small.
Plus... Antimonitor? The only thing that doesn't fit in this wave. Would have preferred Atrocitus, or Spector.
Though, if Antimonitor were Sinestro Corps, or Black Lantern...

It's his Sinestro Corps unifrom that makes him a winner in my book! No way is it a muck up!

I have a question about that wave as well;

Would it be wrong for me to put Jon Stewart's head on Black Lantern Hal's body?

BlackMagnus · 10-07-2011, 06:13 AM

I saw these the other day in Target, first time they have had more then 2 figures on the shelf. Came this_close to getting Black Hal but, ultimately passed. I'm sure I will regret it later lol.

thechris · 10-07-2011, 09:02 AM

I agree this wave sucks, still buying it though...

Oh and let's not forget Luthor over Larfleeze. WTF. And all that other crap.

felks22us · 10-07-2011, 09:06 AM

See that the beef I have with that wave its all sidekicks that help the lanterns to fight Nekron... I always wounder why not make the leader of the corps , just how they did for the Blackest Night line and not the same for DCUC line. but later one we get like 3 out of the 8 , and later on we get Atrocitus. thats the good part but I would like to get the rest of them and may be some side member

thechris · 10-07-2011, 09:33 AM

Well we're getting Nekron and we got Blackhand so that's not bad. I just realized, the Green Lanterns are like the Power Rangers of the DC Universe. LOL.

Well you see to me I would have preffered a standard Scarecrow.

@Thechris: Kyle Rayners new comic makes this all too true.

felks22us · 10-07-2011, 11:48 AM

see that why Im getting scarecrow from this wave for now. but that means that Matty might retool scarecrow later on to the regular one but with a skinnier body . hmmm use a deadman or creeper mold and make it for Legacy Batman wave . just a thought...

Yeah Mattel is not one to let a mold get used just once.

joemama13 · 10-07-2011, 05:11 PM

They had Scarecrow in the DC Super Heroes line, AND in the Batman line that came before that (2003?). Don't know that they'd do him again. If they did, I'd bet they go for a Super Powers look to him.

thechris · 10-07-2011, 08:27 PM

Yep just picked it up recently, too, to complete my Legion of Doom.

I dont know just cuz hes so populor with the Batman movies.

thechris · 10-07-2011, 08:43 PM

They did a figure of him in movie style already. I'm pretty sure it was DCUC sized. It'd be great if they put out a totally new one, but I can't see them doing it. Scarecrow came out twice in DC Superheroes, once as a single and once in a two pack. Then another crappy 6" version with a round head and then the 2003 Batman one and a Sinestro Corps one. He's had a few figures.

Really? I havent seen a movie one DCUC sized. Just the movie master.

Yeah, isn't the movie master one 6" tall?

Fortune · 10-07-2011, 10:00 PM

He may be 6" but that does not make him DCUC scale.
