DC Universe Classics Wave 14 Green Lantern & Obsidian

Hey Ya Big Bully! That's My Son You're Stomping!

It’s been a while since I reviewed Hourman, so I thought I’d make it up by doing a deuce for DC Universe Classics Wave 14 Golden Age Green Lantern and Obsidian (Todd to his friends)! But first, I need to give props yet again to my good friend Xavion2004. Ya see, I’m one of the unlucky whose local Wal-Marts had DCUC dropped from their toy departments just in time for this exclusive Wave and the Holiday Shopping Frenzy. Fortunately the Wal-Marts of Jacksonville have been overflowing with DCUC 14 and Xavion2004 very kindly hooked up me, Ron and quite a few others. Thank you, my AF Collecting Bro, Santa should be putting something extra special in yer stocking this year!

One more thing before we get down to it, I’m gonna be honest with ya kids, Buzzy’s tired. Between the holidaze and working on customs, my brain is more fried than usual, so I’m just gonna hit y’all with some pretty pics of Alan and Todd and restrict the yappin’ to a few goofy captions. Enjoy!

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/1/10

The crew from Mattel is back with another edition of Ask Matty. Our thanks to Toy Guru and the gang!

1) This may be a question for the Four Horsemen – what’s desired for the DC Universe Classics line for head size? Some of the early figures had heads on the smaller size, like Batman and Aquaman, while some of the more recent figures seem to have oversized heads, like Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, and OMAC. Is this an intentional move to make the heads bigger?

Sometimes it is intentional, based on character; sometimes it is due to tooling issues. We do strive for consistency but it is not a perfect world and sometimes not everything comes out the way design wants. In some cases, like with the corrected height Sinestro coming to TRU next month, we try to fix things when we can!

It’s November and you know what that means? DC Universe Classics Waves crashing down on us, one after the other! Yes, it’s another end of the year deluge from Mattel. I’m just finishing up DCUC 15 and already DCUC 14 (yeah, I know this sounds weird) is hitting Wal-Marts all over the USA. Even better, looks like Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 isn’t too far behind. So let’s get on to the big gun of DC Universe Classics 15 – Martian Manhunter!

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 11/15/10

We thought maybe we had been stood up by the Mattel team, but they eventually showed up tonight with the answers for the latest round of Q&A. Thanks to Toy Guru and the team at Mattel!

1. We’ve seen what looks like a factory-produced Green Lantern Classics Abin Sur figure with double-jointed elbows and Black Hand with double-jointed elbows and knees. Does this mean that you’re taking opportunities to introduce figures with double-jointed articulation when you have the opportunity to add new tooling? Or was this a production error?

Yes, we are looking at adding more articulation into DCUC figures when logistically possible.
