DC Universe Classics Wal-Mart Wave 5 On Sale On MattyCollector.com in May

This is great news for those of you who were not able to complete the elusive DC Universe Classics Wal-Mart wave 5 from 2 years ago. The wave will be sold as a set of all five figures, including the parts to build the Metallo Collect & Connect figure, on the MattyCollector.com sales date on May 17th.

With the Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk and Tytus (the second over-sized figure for the year), Ghostbusters Walter Peck, and The Dark Knight Two-Face, that is shaping up to be a crazy sales date.

DCU Wave 5 Is Alive!

DCU Fans,

Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!

This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, not a single change to the figures. Like all our boxed sets, these are individually carded figures packed into a single box. The set has the five figures you need to build a 9” Collect and Connect™ Metallo figure. Take a look inside and you’ll find these classic characters ready to rock your collection:

Eradicator

Black Lightning

Amazo

The Riddler

The Atom

Don’t want to miss your shot at this fan-favorite? If you’re not registered yet for emails, and I’ll send you a reminder. You can also follow me on Twitter where I post reminders.

Just over a week ago, Marvel announced a Fan’s Choice Vote to select the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that would be offered to Digital Comics subscribers this year. Today, the results are in!
