Poll: Would You Buy DC Universe Classics Characters You Already Had If They Were Re-released with Updated Articulation? – Round 2

After reading our San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel DC Universe Classics – Updates, AFP reader chisd made this comment about the updated articulation we saw:

Mattel, if ur listening, please……the wave 16 robin is soooo fine, with the extra articulation and all that stuff. BUT please, do not make the following waves (wave 17, 18, 19…) and the re-issues the same articulation with wave 16 robin. If you do that ALL our previous collections (wave 1,2,3,4…) MUST all be replaced with the “new trend” of these articulations. We dont wanna re-buy new batmans, supermans, etc just to be abreast with the new Dick Grayson robin. If you do that, it will be a burden to us collectors. It means we have to collect again. I just wish we could finally end our collections with the same line and same articulations. I have many collections already. I aint that rich.

A couple months ago, after Sandman showed off his Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle, we ran a poll asking if you would buy DCUC figures you already had if they were re-released with updated articulation. The results were interesting. Over 1/4 of voters said definitely no. A little less than that, over 1/5 said definitely yes. The remaining folks said it would depend.

Now that we’ve seen more prototypes feature double-jointed elbows and knees, and hinged wrists, it’s time to ask the question again. If you voted in the previous poll, you won’t be able to vote again. So if you’ve changed your mind, or just feel strongly about the articulation updates, leave a comment below.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives on Sale on 8/2

Don’t forget – Monday at Noon EST, Mattel’s exclusives from San Diego Comic-Con go on sale on MattyCollector.com. Here’s the link to the bundled page.

Orko and Plastic Man sold out at the show first, and I imagine some people who got Orko at SDCC will be trying for this version too, because it doesn’t have the semi-translucent appearance that the Con-only color-change version does. Good luck!

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – DC Universe – Funko Force 2

Sector1014 reports in with some coverage from San Diego Comic-Con with some urban vinyl DC figures from Funko that we missed completely. Also, be sure to check out his primer on Kamandi: The Learn-to-Love-Him Article (I did, and you can too). DC Universe Classics wave 14 should be out soon.

SDCC DC Funko Force 2

One of the best things about going to Comic-Con is finding cool things you’ve never seen before.  On Thursday morning I made my way through Funko’s booth and found a new line of DC Universe figures that was a pleasant surprise.  According to the guys at the booth, they’re part of a brand new DC Universe line in a new format for Funko called Funko Force 2.0. There were four con exclusives to kick start the DC line (a glow-in-the-dark Green Lantern, two versions of Batman, and a Batgirl–it’s just the paint decos that are exclusive to SDCC, as each of these characters will have regular versions):

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – DC Direct Update – Return of Bruce Wayne

SDCC236SDCC10GDB.JPG

I’ll admit that while I was impressed with DC Direct’s Arkham Asylum and Brightest Day figures, I didn’t spend a lot of time at their display. So Fwoosh’s TheGDBatman was kind enough to send me some more pics – most notably, the Return of Bruce Wayne figures that I somehow completely missed. He also sent over some pics from the lines that I did get, including Arkham Asylum, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, and even some of the statues on display there.
