DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 – Catwoman, Two-Face, Batman, Superman, and Lex Luthor

Wal-Mart has made available online the DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5, the exclusive 5-pack that includes Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Two-Face, and all-new classic jump-suited Lex Luthor. This set was very difficult to find a few weeks back, and I’ve heard lots of reports of folks finding sets that had been tampered with, so this may be the best option for you to track this down.
They also have the DC Infinite Heroes Teen Titans 6-pack, containing Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Arsenal, Monsieur Mallah, and the Brain. There’s only a couple of guys I know that are collecting these, but I know of a few more that are looking to pick this set up just for the Brain, as it’s large enough to work in the DCUC scale.
They have the Site to Store option on both items, if you want to save on shipping costs.
Here are the latest questions and answers from Mattel. We were able to get a super-sized set in for this last session – moving forward Mattel has asked participating websites to limit the number of questions to five.
Thanks to Mattel and Toy Guru!

1. Thanks for sending the DC Universe Classics Wave 12 pics. Before we dive into questions about those figures, when are you going to send us pics of Wave 11? 😀
After what many experienced with DC Universe Classics Wave 5, the last Wal-Mart exclusive wave, some people have been skeptical about Mattel’s claim that Wave 10 would be more broadly distributed, since Wal-Mart increased the size of their order. So it’s a huge relief to have these figures in hand – at least I imagine that’s how the people who’ve actually found them feel, because I’m still in a holding pattern with Forager, who VeeBee at the Fwoosh was kind enough to pass my way for my Cosmic Odyssey display.
These photos and quick thoughts on the DCUC 10 figures are from Buzzy Fret, who found these figures at a regular Wal-Mart down in Gainesville, Florida. After you’re done here, check out Buzzy Fret Customs – he’s done a lot with DCUC base figures recently, and I’ll be commissioning a Robin from him soon.
In an earlier Ask Matty Q&A, when asked about characters that aligned with recent DC storylines Toy Guru hinted at this set, the DC Universe Classics Color of Fear 2-Pack. It features Sinestro Corps members Romat Ru, Karu-Sil, and one of her fear dog constructs. I’m psyched for this set, which is coming out in November, a month later than originally planned, at Mattycollector.com. It will help build out my Green Lantern display, which is kind of empty right now with just Hal Jordan and Abin Sur there. I’m also hopeful that this set helps us get a re-do of Sinestro himself, who was undersized in his first release.
The figures look good, but there’s a little too much bleed through on Romat Ru, making the separation between yellow and black on his torso a bit blurry. We’ll have to see when this set hits if that varies from figure to figure.

I think this is a great set and the figures are really well done, but I am even more excited because I would really like to see this execution done across the entire Lantern color spectrum in upcoming releases. We could have Saint Walker (just a Deadman body away) and Warth, Star Sapphires Carol Ferris and Fatality, Red Lanterns Atrocitus and Vice (with a Dex-Star pack in), Larfleeze, Indigo, Black Hand, the list goes on and on! The Sinestro Corps is a good place to start though and this set does not disappoint.
