A couple of days ago we posted a lineup for DC Universe Classics wave 15 we saw at an online retailer. Today, Mattel posted some pics of wave 15 confirming the lineup, as well as revealing upcoming JLU singles that are exclusive to Target.

Legion of Super-Heroes villain Validus is the Collect and Connect figure for wave 15. What are your thoughts and reactions?

First Official Look at DCU Wave 15 and Fall JLU Singles

Fans,

Oh DCU, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways… let’s see, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3… Wave 15! Yep, Wave 15 is coming to retailers late this summer. You’ll find these figures first at Kmart in late August/early September, then retailers everywhere in the fall. Collect all seven figures and you’ll have everything you need to create a villainous Validus Collect and Connect™ figure!

DCU Wave 15

  • Golden Pharaoh — Complete your “Super Powers” collection! Golden Pharaoh is armed with his Pyramid Power staff and rocks a  transparent purple torso and collar.
  • Classic Starman –Traditional version of Starman is well equipped with his Cosmic Rod and a Stellar Energy Pistol. Celestial crime fighting was never so much fun!
  • Modern Starman — The updated version of Starman lands with his trusty Cosmic Rod and features contemporary translucent parts.
  • OMAC — He’s not bad, he’s just built that way! Cyborg OMAC is rendered in dramatic detail in his first outing as an action figure.
  • Martian Manhunter — Two versions will be released, so it’ll be your turn to hunt the hunter for both the standard figure and the hard-to-find chase version with Martian head and “weapon” hand!
  • Raven — Stunning and smart, the Fan’s Choice winner comes to life as a magnificent action figure.
  • Sinestro Corps Batman — Commemorating his near-indoctrination into the dark side, our hero comes with a transparent Batarang ring construct.
  • Jemm – We’re fairly certain the Injustice Gang has their eye on MattyCollector.com as the Son of Saturn gets ready to make his first-ever appearance as an action figure.
  • Validus — Collect all 7 figures above to create this fearsome 9” Collect and Connect™ figure! Validus arrives with a crystal-clear head dome to reveal his heinously huge brain.

And since we’re on a roll counting ways we dig DCU, let’s talk about the five JLU singles coming to a Target store near you later this year:

JLU Target Singles

  • Future JLU Superman with Starro Spore — In a double dose of firsts, this release will mark the initial availability of an all-new figure, plus it includes fan-favorite Starro Spore as a never-before-offered accessory!
  • Barry Allan as The Flash with Lightning Bolt — It’s the first time this figure is offered, so you’ll want to catch him before he’s gone in a… well, you know…
  • Power Ring — Evil twins everywhere will rejoice when Power Ring joins their ranks for the first time as an action figure. Features a giant green hand construct.
  • Batman Beyond with Batarang — Available for the first time as a single, Batman is ready to battle the bad guys when stocked with this staple from his arsenal.
  • Mr. Terrific — Also making his big debut as a single, the ever-present T-spheres have been completely redesigned.

When we get more information on release dates, we’ll let you know when you can expect to find these DCU must-haves. Until then, happy hunting!

Masters of the Universe Classics San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Orko and Prince Adam Packaged Pics

Mattel shared packaged pics of the SDCC exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics Orko. I’m wondering if people who keep their MOTUC collection carded are bothered that this package is slightly larger to accommodate the Prince Adam pack-in that you can make out lying at the bottom of the bubble. I suppose there wasn’t a way to keep the packaging size consistent even without hiding Adam to keep focus on Orko.

Just got in carded samples! Enjoy and have a great weekend everyone.

SDCC version of Orko with color change figure and book! Both versions will come with the same Prince Adam and the same pack out. The card is a bit larger compared to a standard figure.

Orko’s package back. This will be the same for both the SDCC version and the Mattycollector.com version!

Iron Man 2 K-Mart Exclusive Advanced Tactical Armor Set

This guest review of the Iron Man 2 Concept Series Advanced Tactical Armor 3-Pack is from AFP reader Suri. Thanks very much for the review and pics!

Iron Man 2 Advanced Tactical Armor 1 (1200x900).jpg

Mere minutes before seeing Iron Man 2, I decided to drop into a K-Mart to look at some toys. K-Mart is not exactly my usual stop, but it was immediately next to the movie theater and I decided “Hey, why not?” At best, I was expecting some of the Hulkbuster wave of Iron Man 2 toys. I’ve heard rumors of spottings in California and Canada of this wave. At worst, I would settle for a Hypervelocity Iron Man or a Movie Mark I, neither of which I have picked up yet. What I didn’t expect, however, was this three-pack – mainly because I didn’t even know it existed.

This three-pack of the 3.75-inch Iron Man 2 Concept Series is simply something I did not know of. I had seen no press shots, heard no rumors and never seen them in stores. As it turns out, this is a K-Mart exclusive, as can be seen on their site (Iron Man 2 Concept Series: Advanced Tactical Armor). I stumbled upon it purely by luck and what immediately caught my eye was the Iron Patriot armor.

Toyfare 155 to Feature New Marvel Universe Galactus San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive

Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus Package 3 (1024x768).jpg
Retail packaging for the MU Galactus - pick up Toyfare #155 to see the new SDCC packaging

Toyfare #155 hits news stands tomorrow. A subscriber who got his issue early sent along the tidbit that Hasbro reveals a special exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con – a blister-carded version of the Masterworks Galactus that was teased at SDCC last year and revealed in its retail packaging at Toy Fair this year.

Like the other Marvel Universe exclusives for SDCC this year, the Galactus packaging will feature artwork by Joe Quesada, and will come in a case with handle to make lugging him around the show floor that much easier. I didn’t get the scoop if this version will include electronics, but I’m guessing it will. I also don’t know if it will include the Silver Surfer, but I’m guessing it will not.

And for those of you wondering if this means no retail release, my understanding is that Galactus will still find his way to retail as planned, featuring the Mike Deodato packaging shown above.

For more pics of Galactus, check out our Hasbro Marvel Universe report from Toy Fair, and pick up your copy of Toyfare #155 tomorrow at your local comic book store!
