DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 Now Hitting Wal-Mart

The DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 has been found at a couple of Wal-Marts in Houston. The 5-pack, which is exclusive to Wal-Mart, includes:

a new Lex Luthor in his iconic purple and green jumpsuit,
Superman from the Braniac / Superman 2-pack but with normal eyes,
Batman from the Batman / Clayface 2-pack but without the mud splatters,
Two-Face from DCSH with new paint deco, and
and Catwoman from DCSH with new paint deco.

I’ve got no explanation why it’s called the Gotham City 5.

elmeaux from TheFwoosh.com snapped some pretty good pictures. You can see the entirety of them in this post: DCUC Walmart 5 pack released.

AFP’s Gleek Giveaway Now Closed

Gleek is peering into your very soul! (original credit: Ibentmymanthing)

Thank you very much to all who signed up for one or more of AFP’s free updates services. Silly me – I didn’t take a count of how many subscribers we had prior to the start of the contest, but as close as I can tell, we picked up:

Close to 400 new e-mail subscribers,
around 230 new fans on Facebook,
and around 80 new followers on Twitter.

Who knew a little blue monkey from an 80’s Saturday morning cartoon would be so popular today?

Please check your e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter accounts – a little over an hour ago I finished sending messages to the three lucky subscribers who were favored by Microsoft Excel. If you didn’t get a message from me on how to claim your prize, I’m sorry! It’s the fault of the random number generator algorithms!

This little promotion has really exceeded all my expectations, so thank you once again, and thanks to Toy Guru, Mattel, and my buddies at TheFwoosh.com for making this possible. I hope that you’ve found our content informative and fun, and that you’ll continue to follow us on ActionFigurePics.com!

San Diego Comic-Con Mattel Presentations

Mattel has updated its Facebook page with its San Diego Comic-Con presentations – DC Power Partnership Panel – SDCC 09 and Mattypalooza Fan Panel – SDCC 2009. I’ve included some excerpts for DC Universe Classics, Masters of the Universe Classics, and Ghostbusters. The panels were great – folks were pretty excited about all the reveals.

San Diego Comic-Con Mattel DC Universe Classics and Superman / Batman: Public Enemies Pics

Mattel held their DC Universe Toys panel today, and aside from a few gripes about distribution woes, it was a veritable lovefest. Of course, they took questions and answers *after* showing the crowd a bunch of new figures. In this update I’ll cover the 6-inch scale, including DC Universe Classics and Superman / Batman: Public Enemies.

DC Universe Classics

Wave 10 – Batman (Morrison), Beast Boy, Forager, Joker, Man-Bat (brown), Power Girl, Robotman, and Imperiex Collect & Connect

Mattel had teased the Joker at New York Comic-Con and revealed Power Girl on ActionFigureInsider.com, and some groaned as they learned this wave will be exclusive to Wal-Mart. Mattel assures us that these will be easier to find, as Wal-Mart has increased their order size.

Beast Boy’s accessory is a reuse of the eagle from the Wonder Twins 2-pack. Batman is based on Grant Morrison’s run on Justice League of America. Forager is from the New Gods, and adds another essential piece to my nearly complete Cosmic Odyssey collection (WHOOOO!). Man-Bat is a repaint of the white Comic-Con exclusive a couple years back. Robotman starts the Doom Patrol. And, honestly, I don’t know anything about Imperiex.
