Masters of the Universe Classics Buzz-Off, Christopher Reeves Superman and More on Sale 12/15

I’ll be really interested to see how the 12-inch Christopher Reeves Superman does this round. He and General Zod, who was previously released, will probably help Mattel gauge whether they should continue developing figures in this scale. These two figures will be accompanied by the MOTUC Buzz-Off, the JLU Darkseid and Kalibak 2-pack, and the Masters of the Universe art prints that were sold briefly at San Diego Comic-Con.

Is DC Universe Classics Wave 18 the “Super Friends Diversity” Wave?

Back in September, rumored line-ups of DC Universe Classics Wave 17 (the “Rainbow Lantern” wave) hit the internet. And right on time, we’re now starting to hear buzz about Wave 18.

According to a post on Raving Toy Maniac’s Toy Buzz, wave 18 will consist of:

  • Samurai
  • Superman & Bizarro (interchangeable head and hands)
  • Manhunter
  • Black Vulcan
  • Metallo
  • El Dorado
  • C&C: Apache Chief

What makes this alleged line-up interesting is that six of the characters (the ones in bold) were on the SuperFriends cartoon back in the 80’s, including the cartoon-only characters that Hanna Barbera added supposedly to give the character lineup some color. While this line-up would be a blow to those Classics fans that believe the line should be limited to characters that have appeared in the comics, Mattel already crossed that bridge when they made the Wonder Twins the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive figures in 2008 – ok, technically it was Gleek who was the exclusive. And while some will argue that Zan and Jayna did appear in the Teen Titans comic briefly, their figures were definitely based on their appearance in the cartoon.
