Mattel has posted carded pics of DC Universe Classics wave 17, the Rainbow Lantern wave, on its Facebook page, and sets of DC Universe Classics 17 have started hitting eBay. I am really curious to see how these sell – when the rumors of this wave first hit, the reaction was the most mixed I’ve seen in the collector community.
Personally, I think I would have liked a third wave of Green Lantern Classics. There’s plenty of Lanterns that could benefit from existing tooling who have had a bigger presence in the comics than these characters – but I do think DC missed an opportunity for some interesting follow-on stories, had the Scarecrow and Lex kept their deputy rings.

I for one, find it annoying that the first official DCUC Lex and Scarecrow are in their ridiculously limited appearance lantern get-ups.
This is the third Lex…we got the classic/Legion of Doom version in the 5-pack, and the battle-armor Lex was repacked with both Supergirl and Skeletor(and both of those sets are still available at my TRU).
