My set of DC Universe Classics Wave 12 arrived the other day. For now, here’s some packaged pics of the entire wave minus the Spectre glow-in-the-dark chase variant. I’ve liked the packaging redesign since I first saw pictures of it, but having them in hand has made me appreciate it even more.
I noticed after taking the pictures that the trade paperbacks I used to prop my camera up are reflected in some of the package fronts. Oops!
So, as a little contest for a shot at my white-costumed variant Mary Batson, I’ll pick one winner at random from folks who leave a comment on this article that lists out the titles of the TPBs I used as a tripod-substitute. The eligible folks will be the ones who correctly identify the most titles (there’s four in total – 3 comic book TPBs and 1 manual), and I’ll cut off the entries when we post our Mattel coverage for Toy Fair.
Take a close look, add a comment with your guesses, and good luck. And while you’re at it, use the links below this article to subscribe to AFP!
Stay tuned for a closer look at wave 12, coming soon.
Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told
RE Howard – Conan the Barbarian (almost went with Duck)
??

Greatest Baman Stories Ever Told (my first GN ever! my aunt bought it for me for christmas in the late 80’s when all i would read was GIJoe :))
The Essential Howard the Duck
And I’m stumped on the other two but i gotta get back to work. Thanks for the fun distraction!
-“Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told”
-“Essential Howard The Duck”
-It’s Definitely Something with: Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale (I can only make out “LOEB SALE” It could be anything, those 2 have done a ton of stuff together)
-I have no idea, I can’t make out anything on this one
I’ll guess Essential Howard the Duck, Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told, Haunted Knight by loeb and sale, and what looks like mysql reference manual.
Well…I think I can 1 up benty….
1. Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told
2. Essential Howard the Duck
3. Haunted Knight by Loeb/Sale
4. PHP 6 and MySQL 5 manual….And there are a bunch of those…If I look on amazon The closest I see that could be it is: PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide by Larry E. Ullman ….But that’s a wild guess…But I do know it has to say PHP and MySQL 5 on that book…The “and” on coppperhead’s foot has gotta come from somewhere…
the picture above is better than the ones I have seen of Darkseid so far. some pics had him looking too big for me but this one is just right. He isn’t too big and is the exact scale as the Super Powers version to the rest of the SP line
Here are my guesses…
The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told
Essential Howard the Duck
Batman: Haunted Knight by Tim Sale + Jeph Loeb
Some kind of guide to Muscles? Mens Health – Book of Muscle?
Thanks for the awesome preview pics as usual!!!

I meant to get to this before I left for Toy Fair, so thanks for your patience. Limbfilter got all 4 books – the guess on the PHP/MySQL book was dead on. I’m not a programmer, but I needed a little help getting the Figure Finder search to work.
Limbfilter – I’ll send you an email! Congrats!
Whoooo!!! I never win anything! lol!
Shame more people didn’t even try….
Thanks again for the great pics and fun contest!!
