What do I do now that my favorite figure of the year, Masters Of The Universe Classics Vikor (Conan!!), has already arrived? I just don’t see how anything else coming out in 2011 could top this figure. Not for me anyway. I guess I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy my new Conan… uh, Vikor!
Time to put up some DC Universe Classics 16 pics! If you hadn’t heard or seen it yet, DCUC 16 is starting to hit retail stores now. I found my little set of 3 at Target last week.
Why only 3? Several reasons. For one, due to rising costs and shrinking shelf space, I need to be a bit more discriminating in my collecting and the Metal Men are getting cut, so no Mercury. When Creeper was first announced, I was excited about getting him but I don’t like how he turned out, way too skinny and gangly for my taste, so no Creeper. Golden Age Head Robin didn’t even enter the equation from the word go. The design for the C&C Bane was also not to my liking. I will be getting Azrael-Batman but he is coming from a friend in another town and I hope to find the All Star Reissue of Deathstroke or maybe Amazon will finally come through for me. I’ll do an article for both of those when I have ’em.

Hey all you DCUC Fans!
I saw a couple reports on the Fwoosh DC Universe Classics Wave 16 Discussion Thread that collectors in the southeast were finding DCUC 16 at Targets today, so I saddled up, trucked on over to the local Target and, POW, there they were! I picked up the 3 you see in the hastily snapped pic and left Creeper, GA Head Robin and All Star Wave 10 Batman on the shelf. Mercury and Az-Bats were MIA.
I hope this means that Target has blown out all their old DCUC stock and are going to come back strong with the new Waves because the 3 Wal-Marts here have removed DCUC from their Toy Departments.
I’ll have some more DCUC 16 pics up soon!
I picked up Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 last week and decided to use one of the Sinestro Corps bodies to knock out a quick and easy custom I’ve been wanting to do for over a year. Back in December of 2009, I found a good deal on a DC Direct SC Sinestro for $9 and knowing how coveted this particular figure is, I snapped it up like an avaricious Orange Lantern. My reasoning for it was that, sometime in the mist shrouded future, I would use parts from it to make a much more imposing and dangerous looking Sinestro than we got in DCUC 3. That time has come.
