DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 – thefwoosh.com
You know, it’s killing me, seeing all these pictures of the Wal-Mart exclusive DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5. My wife caught me cursing at the screen the other day and took it upon herself to scour the local Wal-Marts – I say that loosely because the nearest is 45 minutes away. No luck. Damn you, Bay Area scalpers and collectors! Once again you’ve brought me nothing but tears!
So, I continue to torture myself with pictures. This latest set of fantastic pics is from the Fwoosh. VeeBee is considerably harder to please than me – out of the five figures, only Supes and Lex (of course) are making it to the prime spots on his shelf. C’mon, VeeBee! The name of the set is “Gotham City 5” and you pick the two guys from Metropolis?! 😀
If I ever get hold of the set, in addition to Lex and Supes, Bats and most likely Two-Face will get the nod. I never played the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game, so I have no special affinity for the modern Catwoman suit in purple.
Gotham City 5 - Batman, Two-Face, Catwoman, Lex Luthor, and Superman
Overall, I am pretty happy with this set. I get a new default classic Superman and my favorite version of Lex for my shelf. The Two Face is also a big winner, especially for the Bronze Age crowd. It seems that, so far, this set is flying off of the shelves and that is a really good thing in my opinion – I REALLY want to see more things like this in the future from Mattel. I will take the regular series, two packs, box sets, the whole deal to get as many new characters as possible as quickly as possible. This is a tried and true formula for success in a box set – the two heaviest hitters in the DCU accompanied by some demanded rereleased characters and a new version of a character.
Batman with Fists of Clay Bats
Two-Face with DCSH Two-Face
Catwoman with DCSH Catwoman
Lex with DCSH Battle Armor Lex
Superman with DCSH and wave 6 Supes
Lex with the Legion of Doom
Gotham City 5 – Batman, Two-Face, Catwoman, Lex Luthor, and Superman
I would really love to see Mattel take a little bit more a risk in the future with a five pack and give us some JSA, all villains or the FOREVER PEOPLE! Yeah, I know pipe dream but I won’t rest until I have them. This set is a great start though and I hope it will prove to the retailers that this is a viable execution for new product.
One thought on “DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 – thefwoosh.com”
What part of the Bay Area are you in? I’m in Sonoma county. I check the Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa wallys fairly often for these. Maybe we can join forces? Like, if there are different ones you are checking, and you find two, you could get me one. Likewise, if I find two I can get one to you (we could meet or whatever).
