Official SDCC coverage - DCAU Thread

The figures on display for Mattel's upcoming waves of Justice League figures include Red Tornado, Starman (the Prince Gavyn version), Atom, Green Arrow, AMAZO (whose scale is off, but oh well), Dr. Fate, Elongated Man, Aquaman and Brainiac, as well as a few variants on existing figures, like battle-damaged Superman & Flash and a transparent version of J'Onn. They also have a ten inch Hawkgirl figure on display!

Wow, that is awesome news. I hope they come out this year or along 2004.

**PeterFries** · 07-22-2004, 01:11 AM

Geez, I almost forgot -- here's a link to Tim Wan's pictures of the figures, over at jlanimated.com...

Those just look sweet. I definitely want Atom, Elongated Man, Starman, AMAZO (though he is indeed a bit off scale), Dr.Fate !!!, Green Arrow!!! Atom, Brainiac, That new WW with lasso!, clear J'onn... heck I want them all. Where is Aquaman though? And I hope we get more villains!

**Nick K.** · 07-22-2004, 01:18 AM

Okay, Aquaman looks the best out of all of them, along with Green Arrow.

**The Penguin** · 07-22-2004, 01:43 AM

Well it looks like Mattel is really stepping up with JLU stuff starting up. Lots of new stuff, some useful variants and Green Arrow. Works for me!

**Squall** · 07-22-2004, 01:46 AM

It's about time they started making figures that people wanted! What took them so long?

Here's hoping they'll continue making new JLU figures, as well as figures of characters from JL that were never made when JL was running... At the very least, they could split the JL/JLU figure series into five seperate mini-series, so to speak...

-the Justice League
-the Gotham City set
-the Injustice Gang & Secret Society
-the Apokolips set
-the New Genesis set

The possibilities for figures, vehicles, and playsets are quite endless, actually!

Super Hero Times has updated their SDCC coverage, and have posted pics of the new proposed Batman toys. And there is some incredible good news. It looks like there are only 3 new Batman variants for the next wave of figures (and three new deluxe ones.) And aside from the white-ice Batsy and the orange thing(boo), they seem to be focusing in on darker color schemes. And if that's not good enough news, we have 3 brand spanking new VILLIANS coming out! WOOT! We get a good full-body look at what Man-Bat's going to look like (grey? Hmm..), as well as a full-body shot of Bane (I've never seen a more oddly shaped body.) and our first look at FIREFLY! (I like)

And yes. Bane's red. All I can say is damn damn damnididdly damn. I do kinda like the teeth, though. But, I'm sure I'll be alone on that. Otherwise, Man-bat looks great, and the deluxe winged batman figure looks like a must. So, go see for yourself. You'll smile a little, then you'll gag a little. It's to be expected.

**Karkull** · 07-22-2004, 02:19 AM

Damn it, I promised myself I wouldn't buy these. Now I've got to track down the ones I ditched.

**JackKnight** · 07-22-2004, 02:22 AM

Holy Crap these look awesome!! I am one of the biggest Starman fans ever, and I'm finally getting a Prince Gavynn figure...from Mattell? whoda thunk?

I am down for all of these figures

**BeyondGotham** · 07-22-2004, 02:30 AM

We've got some pics from both the toy line and the animated series:

We've got more on the way!

**Karkull** · 07-22-2004, 02:38 AM

Wait a minute...these are showing up in those stupid four packs, right? So when all is said and done I'll have fifty Batman figures.

**JustJack** · 07-22-2004, 02:56 AM

Freeze is in desperate need of A.) goggles...B.) a helmet...that big block of ice wrapped around his head is bound to melt quickly. One 'splosion and he's kapput. and C.) a little more...age. I've never visioned Mr. Freeze as a...young bold looking guy. Granted, the design kinda leaves a lot for the imagination as far as his real physical appearance goes....but the round shapely figure suggests he's a bit too young. Nothing beats Timm's dark angular old and bitter looking freeze. Especially when he's walking on spider legs....

**Nick K.** · 07-22-2004, 03:20 AM

Hmmm.. to say the least this show will be different. The action figures look cool annd the animation looks good too. I'm definitely tuning in. I hope it's good.

**BeyondGotham** · 07-22-2004, 03:21 AM

I agree with that about Freeze. But he looks ALOT better that Bane.. OMG, that thing looks.. well, the figure is cool.. but I just don't like how it looks...

**Nick K.** · 07-22-2004, 03:29 AM

If they show up in four packs I will yell.

I love that J'onn has a headpiece to communicate. They outdid themselves with accessories!

**RedBoot** · 07-22-2004, 03:48 AM

I have an immediate need for the Dr. Fate and Green Arrow figures, and probably Aquaman and Elongated Man too...plus all the original Leaguers I missed, which would be all of them...I have Darkseid though...

**Fone Bone** · 07-22-2004, 06:29 AM

OH. MY. GOD! Those are awesome! I'm picking up ALL of them! They look SO sweet! b.t. was right, the difference between JL and JLU IS toys!

Where are the Ultra Humanite and Solomon Grundy?

**ArtificialIdiot** · 07-22-2004, 08:13 AM

Freeze's suit looks pretty good from what I can see of it, however, I'm not enthusiastic about that big lump of ice on his head...

I need to see Firefly animated! I can't make a judgement on that figure, as I don't know what that ugly tank on his back will look like in the series.

Man-bat looked far more impressive on the comic cover, however that is a very nice figure as far as the wings go!

As for Bane... He's red. Enough said.

I haven't looked at all the animated show pictures yet, but Alfred is looking good! Penguin looks better then he did in the comic and Catwoman seems to have the HUSH style goggles going on. Although, they don't look right on the loose mask imo (at least it doesn't seem that tight)
