Entertainment Earth will be at New York Comic Con for the first time this year. They’re continuing their partnership with Toys R Us, so in addition to the Bif Bang Pow! and Funko exclusives, they will also have some of the TRU items, like Minimates, Real Ghostbusters, and an exclusive Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead line of figures from McFarlane.
Here’s a round-up of some of the other DC items from Mattel, including Batman Legacy, the Green Lantern Movie Masters, and the upcoming DC Universe Classics 2-packs.

DC Universe Classics Wave 17, the Rainbow Lantern wave, is on sale now at Amazon – and I’m going to need your help. See, I’m a Prime customer, which means for many items I get free 2-day shipping and no sales tax. Since all of the wave 17 figures qualify and only the Black Lantern Hal Jordan is priced above normal, I’ve got a dilemma.
I was mixed on most of the wave when it was first rumored, and now I am still conflicted. Will I feel like I missed out on the Anti-Monitor Collect & Connect when these are long gone? And hey, the Orange Lantern Lex and the Sinestro Corps Scarecrow are both pretty cool. So, what do you think – buy the full wave, cherry pick, or skip it entirely?
Our Ask Matty Q&A from last week had gotten lost in the mail, but Toy Guru and the Mattel team came through for us. Thanks much, guys and gals!
1) Great reveal for DC Universe Classics wave 19 at MTV Geek. When will you be revealing the variant(s) for the wave? We were hoping for a fin-headed Atom or a yellow-cowled Hawkman.
Similar to wave 5 and 14, there will not be variants in this particular wave. It doesn’t count these ideas out, they just won’t be in this wave.
Would you look at this? We made the deadline for the latest installment of Ask Matty. Big thanks to the folks at Mattel!
1) We’re pretty psyched to have Swamp Thing finally joining the DC Universe Classics line! Can you tell us more about the “endoskeletal” articulation – is that an existing DCUC body under there, or a new base just from Swamp Thing? Will the underlying figure have the standard DCUC points of articulation, like bicep, waist, wrist, and thigh swivels?

We’ve asked design if they can provide specifics. As soon as we get an answer back we will post it.
