ActionFigureInsider completes their archive of the upcoming Wal-Mart exclusive wave of DC Universe Classics with the Joker, Man-Bat, Batman, and the Collect and Connect figure, Imperiex.
It’s a bummer that the Joker lost his “BANG!” gun, but Bats did pick up a Batarang on top of his Bat-Computer. What’s the best name for it – Bat-top? Bat-book? You decide!
We have Wave 10 in hand and can show you the full photo features on each figure in this upcoming Walmart exclusive wave. We showed you the first half of the wave last week, and now we can bring you the rest, including the highly anticipated Joker figure and the Collect and Connect Imperiex figure.
Before I get started, yes, I know that there’s no Punisher here. Since the Marvel Legends Nemesis wave is a Wal-Mart exclusive, I had to rely on the kindness of others to get these figures. It started wayyyyy back when this wave started hitting in Canada – I thought they’d be hitting the US with haste, and when they didn’t, it was too late to nab a set. Some smart people did, and I was the beneficiary of the heavy packing of Punisher and Daredevil, and their variants – a friend passed along their extra Build-A-Figure pieces for Nemesis (nee Holocaust).
When this wave recently started hitting Wal-Marts in the US, I again relied on friends to fill out the wave. But since I already had the BAF piece, and because I already had the perfect Punisher (a combination of Toy Biz’s ML 4 and Face-Off, by Joshua Izzo), I passed on him. So, this pictorial is brought to you by kickass Fwooshers Simun, DisThunder, and ActorJez – thanks very much, guys!
Tri-Klops may be the big item for me, but there’s a whole mess of stuff going up tomorrow, so be ready for some red screens of death.
Big sale on Monday! MOTUC Tri-Klops, Infinite Heroes Crisis 4 pack, JLU Shazam pack, plus a few retail Batman Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight items! Check out MattyCollector.com at 12 noon eastern Aug 17th!
I’m not exactly sure which Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight products are going up tomorrow, but posted pics of all that’s currently up there. Matty will also have a 1:24 die cast Lightning McQueen, so it could get a little crazy, with both action figure and Hot Wheels collectors converging on the site.
Mattel also posted a round-up of sorts of the latest Ask Matty sessions (AFP’s latest Ask Matty Round-Up was posted yesterday). They touch on a lot of sore spots, for example, $20 Dark Knight Movie Masters, bonus figures not in Club Eternia, and Gleek. Not sure if the explanations will soothe the folks who are raging over them, but at least Mattel understands that some people are upset. And a new hurt for folks on the east coast – Mattel won’t be at New York Comic-Con next year. That’s not surprising, since it’s in October, during the prime selling season for big box retailers.
Our friends at ActionFigureInsider received an early set of the Wal-Mart exclusive wave of DC Universe Classics. They’ve just published pics of Beast Boy, Forager, Power Girl, and Robotman.
Cosmic Odyssey update: another one bites the dust with Forager! 😀 John Stewart is coming, but where oh where is Martian Manhunter?
Just this week you saw the carded images of Wave 10 of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line on Matty’s Facebook page as well as here on AFi.
Now we have Wave 10 in hand and can show you the full photo features on each figure in this upcoming Walmart exclusive wave. We’re going to break this wave up into two parts.
Before I get ahead of myself, I want to point out how great it is dealing with Rob and Bobbi, the good folks that run RTM. They put up their order page for Raavia on Monday, and by Thursday I had these figures in my hands.
