DC Universe Classics Cosmic Odyssey John Stewart by RoboKillah

DC Universe Classics Custom John Stewart with DCD Guy Gardner, DCD Kilowog, and Hal Jordan

Those of you who have known me for a while know that I am a big Cosmic Odyssey fan. And while many people think that DC Universe Classics is a toy line paying homage to Super Powers, my fandom has helped me realize the incontrovertible truth that DCUC is actually a toy line for Cosmic Odyssey*.

However, long before DCUC Wave 11 was announced, my collection was sorely missing two characters – the Green Lantern John Stewart and the Martian Manhunter J’onn J’onnz. When RoboKillah from the Fwoosh made his custom John Stewart, I knew that I would need to enlist him to create one for me in the costume John wore in Cosmic Odyssey. It wasn’t easy, but me sending him fodder unsolicited combined with my incessant whining resulted in this fine custom.

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figure that you won’t want to let slip by!

G1 Ark Autobots – a collaboration of 8 customizers, this auction includes 11 G1 Autobot customs and benefits the Make A Wish Foundation – ends Nov 29, 200918:00:12 PST

Marvel Legends Stryfe – I’m not really a fan of Cable, especially during the time when Stryfe became his main antagonist, but this custom is pretty cool – ends Nov 24, 200917:46:28 PST

DC Universe Classics Red Hood – this one is so simple and clean, I wonder why Mattel hasn’t made one yet – ends Nov 28, 200915:28:08 PST

DC Universe Classics Color of Fear Two-Pack Romat-Ru and Karu-Sil

DC Universe Classics Color of Fear - Karu-Sil and Romat-Ru

The DC Universe Classics Color of Fear set is the penultimate (nice word, right?) 2-pack to be offered on MattyCollector.com. The previous 2-packs, Space Heroes and Battle for Earth 3 didn’t quite meet Mattel’s expectations (they are still available as of this writing) so after this set and next month’s Animal Instincts 2-pack, there’s nothing planned for the forseeable future.

The good news is that this has been the fastest-selling 2-pack thus far. If this and Animal Instincts do well, we might see more down the line.

Good News for MOTU and DC Universe Classics, Bad News for Dark Knight

Mattel’s latest collector line update is a good news / bad news report. The good: the He-Man re-release sold out within a few hours and Scareglow the next day, and Mattel also posted on Facebook that the Color of Fear 2-pack is the best selling DC Universe Classics 2-pack yet. For Masters of the Universe Classics, I wonder if the He-Man sell-out there’s a whole new crop of collectors who jumped on board for the line. And for DCUC, I hope the strength of sales helps convince Mattel to continue the 2-packs after next month’s Animal Instincts, which is reportedly the last for the time being.

The bad news: the continuation of the Dark Knight figures on MattyCollector.com may be stalled out. The bank robber Joker was posted a month late, and is still available. Since Mattel won’t commit to Survival Suit Bruce Wayne in December (the originally posted sales date was October 15), I am wondering if they’re waffling on continuing the line. A lot of people weren’t thrilled with the $20 price tag, so it wouldn’t be surprising if sales are lackluster.
