The DC Animated Figure Talkback Thread, Part 12 (Potential Spoilers)

[redtornado88]

Have you been able to stand Amazo, Shade or Hawk (or anyone with the same shape foot as them) with them? I was only able to use them on 7 figures. Thats a horrible ratio considering I bought 25 of them.

Yes they don't fit perfectly on the stands but they fit to the point where they are stable and i dont have to worry about them falling the only figures i havent fit onto the stands are Grodd, Darkseid, Doomsday, Ultra-Humanite, Rocket Red, Steel, Grundy and Etrigan because they definitely dont fit and they dont need them to stand on their own

I can't wait to add this figure to my collection!

Why would they make that but not someone like Spellbinder or Shriek?

I suppose it could be argued that Amanda's character had a much more significant impact on the JLU than those characters did on BB. She was intimately involved with a season long story arc, where BB didn't have those types of multi-episode stories, and as such, those characters played a less significant role.

On the other hand, if the line continues I certainly wouldn't be surprised to find some more BB characters trickle out. I'm thinking BB rogues gallery 6-pack.. :-)

Because its a jlu line not a BB line and if you remember she did have a pretty nice convo with terrry in "Epilogue" if that satisfies your BB hunger

Very awesome of Mattel to reach out and do a new mold like that... can't wait to get that one in the collection...

You know, I really do not think they should show us Waller, as they are really going to screw us over later by making it some exclusive or something.

BTW, I saw the new 6 pack today with Bwana Beast and gang, but I turned it down because Captain Steel had a horrible paint job (his mask went into his eyes). Who the hell is Captain Steel anyway? Hell, who the hell are those people in that set other than Crimson Fox? I know Bwana was in for about 30 seconds of JLU, but that tells me nothing about him.

Also, Target has suddenly gotten an increase of Wave 2 DCU figures, so I managed to get myself the black version of Firestorm. However, no Batman, Deathstroke, Sinestro, gold Cyborg, normal Capt Atom, or Batman Beyond (either version) yet.

I respect you're not excited about these secondary JLU characters, but I do believe you are in the definite minority. Who are they? Look 'em up, as you're already on the internet

And as far as "either version" of Batman Beyond DCU figures, good luck with the unmasked one: he was a kB TOYS exclusive and now the store is going out of business....here's to hoping he shows up on Matty Collector or at Big Lots one day.

The exclusives i don't think are a problem anymore cuz theyll probably just throw it up on mattycollector.com like giganta so i wouldnt worry about it

[redtornado88]

Imagine if they did a sweet Cadmus 6-pack with Waller and the 5 Ultimen how cool would that be

Are you implying that Crimson Fox is LESS obscure than Vibe and "Captain Steel"? And really, if you want to know more about any of those characters (like their names or whatever, just sayin'), there are short descriptions for each on the back of the packaging.

And regarding the new figure of the The Wall... that's just nuts. It's also very cool, but I officially give up trying to figure out the method that's being used when choosing which characters will receive figures.

So I saw the Brave and the Bold figures today at Walmart, and I was considering picking one of them up until I realized they do not have any articulation in the knees and none of the had a good paint job. Not just that, but the Blue Beetle from the 2 pack has no detailed paint on his chest.

I have a complete set of some DC cards from the early 90s that have many many characters, with Crimson Fox being one of them. Bwana, Capt Steel, that disco looking dude, and a few others I've seen in the background in JLU are not among them.

So with all of the Infinite Crisis figures from Series 1 warming pegs everywhere can we consider it a dead line? The character choices for the first series of the line were far too obscure for Mom's to buy for their kids this holiday.

I'm not sure if you can say the line is dead, but I'm not sure if it's popular or not. Still, t did seem like a bit of over-kill to me. 3 seperate DC lines all at once may just be a bit too much for some..

I personally only collect the JLU figures.

They were definitely not peg warmers when they first came out...I'm thinking they just produced too many and the collectors that the line is aimed at got what they need and there is no one left to buy them

So it seems like Wave 2 of DCU has shipped out to stores again, for I have seen lots of Aquamans (both, which is the variant, as I have the long haired one), Superman Blue, Red, and black Firestorm. It would be nice if they would ship Wave 1, 3, and 4 more though, as I still need everyone from those lines.

I'm constantly going to several different Targets in my area (Minneapolis burbs) and I almost never see the DCUC figures (let alone the Wal-Mart exclusive Series 5). I also haven't found either of the two new JLU 6-packs yet, and am starting to get worried that I never will.

[Temple Fugate]

MattyCollector now has a placeholder for the Gotham Villains 4-pack, "Coming February 15, 2009"! :anime:

It's probably a dart board.
