One of AFP’s long-time readers, Sector1014, has put together a fantastic write-up on DC Comics’ Last Boy on Earth, Kamandi.  If you had not heard, a new list of DC Universe Classics figures has reportedly been found on the Wal-Mart computer system, possibly giving us a glimpse at upcoming figures – and Kamandi was on it.

Normally I don’t post rumors about upcoming lineups – I like to wait until there’s some corroboration and pics to be shared.  I think I’ve got the first part, with a few folks who are in the know acknowledging the list.  But we’ll be waiting some time for pics, since wave 14 may hit around mid-year 2010. Previews announced that Toyfare #152, in stores on February 10 next year, will feature the premiere of wave 14.

Also, I want more people to get into him so we can also get a couple of Kamandi’s best pals.
