What do I do now that my favorite figure of the year, Masters Of The Universe Classics Vikor (Conan!!), has already arrived? I just don’t see how anything else coming out in 2011 could top this figure. Not for me anyway. I guess I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy my new Conan… uh, Vikor!
Time to put up some DC Universe Classics 16 pics! If you hadn’t heard or seen it yet, DCUC 16 is starting to hit retail stores now. I found my little set of 3 at Target last week.
Why only 3? Several reasons. For one, due to rising costs and shrinking shelf space, I need to be a bit more discriminating in my collecting and the Metal Men are getting cut, so no Mercury. When Creeper was first announced, I was excited about getting him but I don’t like how he turned out, way too skinny and gangly for my taste, so no Creeper. Golden Age Head Robin didn’t even enter the equation from the word go. The design for the C&C Bane was also not to my liking. I will be getting Azrael-Batman but he is coming from a friend in another town and I hope to find the All Star Reissue of Deathstroke or maybe Amazon will finally come through for me. I’ll do an article for both of those when I have ’em.

I keep hearing about price increases at retail for Mattel DC figures, but here’s some good news – Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 has just turned up in stock at Amazon, and they’re holding steady at $14.99. And they qualify for free shipping if your order is $25 or more. With no sales tax in most locations, that’s a tough deal to beat.
Happy shopping!
I was psyched to get an armful of figures from Mattel after their collector event on Sunday, including a nearly complete set of Green Lantern Classics Wave 2. These all had stickers on the back of the package labeled “PI” – I think that might indicate some product imperfections. But I’m not complaining at all – the only thing I noticed was on Nite-Lik – he does not have a Red Lantern logo on his chest underneath the head piece, so he won’t be able to be displayed as Skallox.
I’ve still got our pics from Mattel’s Toy Fair Collector Event to publish, but in the meantime, here’s an official press release with video from Warner Bros.
