AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 6/1/11

Would you look at this? We made the deadline for the latest installment of Ask Matty. Big thanks to the folks at Mattel!

1) We’re pretty psyched to have Swamp Thing finally joining the DC Universe Classics line! Can you tell us more about the “endoskeletal” articulation – is that an existing DCUC body under there, or a new base just from Swamp Thing? Will the underlying figure have the standard DCUC points of articulation, like bicep, waist, wrist, and thigh swivels?

DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Revealed – MTV Geek Exclusive

Our friends at MTV Geek have got an exclusive first look at DC Universe Classics Wave 19 – the JSA wave!

Wave 19 will feature classic Wesley Dodds Sandman, Al Pratt Atom, Carter Hall Hawkman, Lord Naga from Kobra, Magog, Stargirl, and the Collect & Connect STRIPE.

Be sure to click through to MTV Geek for the full-size images and bios for each character.

Lately DCUC has featured themed lineups, to many a fan’s aggravation as they patiently wait to complete their various classic teams. While the upcoming Wave 19 is themed as well, it features mostly classic interpretations of the Justice Society of America and their villains. That’s right, a JSA wave – and we’ve got both the first pics AND the complete bios for all of the figures in the lineup, including a shot of the Collect & Connect figure: S.T.R.I.P.E.!

Green Lantern Classics Wave 2

Thanks to fellow Fwooshers, hagop, lesternessman and studmuffin, I finally got some Green Lantern Classics Wave 2 figures and was able to complete Stel.

Hope this doesn’t mean Amazon is dropping the line…
