Wow! This is a great deal – at the $7.75 price, it’s like we went back in time five or so years.
If I hadn’t pre-ordered, I would definitely start hitting my local Kmarts this weekend. I may still go to check out if I can find a J’onn with correctly matched large biceps.
So far we’ve reviewed Raven, Jack Knight – Starman and Jemm. Stay tuned for the Sinestro Corps Batman tomorrow!
DCU Wave 15 On Sale at Kmart 10/24-10/30
DCU Fans,
I know you’ve been waiting for the next wave of DCU products and your patience is about to rewarded … on Sunday October 24th, Wave 15 arrives at Kmart!
Not only that, but in celebration of the 75th anniversary of DC Comics, all DCU Classics 6” figures will be on sale at a very special price of just $7.75 each for one week from October 24th through October 30th − ONLY at Kmart!That’s a megacolossal discount off the regular price of $12.99 each!
Remember, Wave 15 includes the gorgeous Fan Choice Raven figure. Here’s the complete list of figures in Wave 15 (as previewed back in May):
- Golden Pharaoh − Complete your “Super Powers” collection! Golden Pharaoh is armed with his Pyramid Power staff and rocks a transparent purple torso and collar.
- Classic Starman −Traditional version of Starman is well equipped with his Cosmic Rod and a Stellar Energy Pistol. Celestial crime fighting was never so much fun!
- Modern Starman − The updated version of Starman lands with his trusty Cosmic Rod and features contemporary translucent parts.
- OMAC − He’s not bad, he’s just built that way! Cyborg OMAC is rendered in dramatic detail in his first outing as an action figure.
- Martian Manhunter − Two versions will be released, so it’ll be your turn to hunt the hunter for both the standard figure and the variant version with Martian head and “weapon” hand!
- Raven − Stunning and smart, the Fan’s Choice winner comes to life as a magnificent action figure.
- Sinestro Corps Batman − Commemorating his near-indoctrination into the dark side, our hero comes with a transparent Batarang ring construct.
- Jemm − We’re fairly certain the Injustice Gang has their eye on MattyCollector.com as the Son of Saturn gets ready to make his first-ever appearance as an action figure.
- Validus − Collect all 7 figures above to create this fearsome 9” Collect and Connect™ figure! Validus arrives with a crystal-clear head dome to reveal his heinously huge brain.
Starting in November, you’ll be able to find Wave 15 at our regular retail outlets. But why wait? If you head to Kmart on October 24th, you have the chance to be first on your block to own Wave 15 and get it at a huge discount!

Hooray .. that’s an amazing deal! Oh, hang on … I live in England.. that’ll be about $25 per figure for me then…
It seems that many stores have already broken the street date, as these are on shelves now. I know because I got Raven and the variants for Starman and Martian Manhunter last night. As great of a deal as the $7.75 sounds, Kmart doesn’t have a huge amount of space dedicated to DCUC, and the price will apply to the new wave, meaning that the sale will only really benefit 2 or 3 people. It looks like Yellow Lantern Batman might already be a pegwarmer, as they had quite a few of him, but I see a handful of scalpers wiping out the stock before anyone will be able to take advantage of the sale.
As an employee for Kmart that works in the toy department I haven’t seen these yet! I’ve had several people ask for them but I don’t have them out on the shelves yet because I haven’t seen them in my freight. I’m thinking it might be just one of those things that will not come in on time at my store and a lot of people will be dissappointed.
