Wave 16 is up for pre-order at various e-tailers.
Rumored line up is (credit to toymania via fwoosh):
mercury
azreal batman
new riddler
jonah hex
creeper
classic robin
c n c bane
If true, that's a pretty heavy Bats wave. Only six figures instead of the usual seven and I read only one variant.
New Riddler is probably the Super Powers leotard version. Should make Dan happy.
-
Yeah, it is a fairly Bat-heavy wave, if that lineup holds true. That being said, I'm pretty happy with a lot of those figures. I sort of thought we'd be getting a Jonah Hex sometime this year, with the movie and all, and it makes sense here. I really hope the "classic" (Dick Grayson) Robin is true, because that is one of my most wanted figures as well. I'd likely be in for the whole wave for the first time in a bit, since I pick up pretty much all the Gotham stuff and I'd like the Bane as well. Between this and a possible/probably Green Lantern Classics line, I might be shuttling more money off to DC once again - and just when I thought I could cut back there a bit ;).
-
Would be nice if the 7th figure (assuming there is one) was Poison Ivy. Then this wave would be absolutely perfect.
-
A Catwoman would also be nice. Not that one from the 5 pack, either, but a new sculpt. I'd buy all from this wave except Creeper and AzBat.
-
Well i would pretty much want most of the wave. I have been trying to cut down. Only picking up 3 from the Trigon wave, sadly want the Ultra Humanite BAF.
-
Yeah, like I said, I've been trying to cut back on these as well - both due to space and now the new $15 pricepoint that seems to be at pretty much every store now (although I get most of these online anymore). I too would like to get Ultra Humanite, but just don't think I can buy the whole wave for that. We'll see. This is the first wave for awhile now where I want just about the entire wave (and BAF) anyways, so I might end up springing for it. It is getting pricey though.
-
If there is a classic robin, PLEASE let him be regular sized. I can't stand the "smaller" figures, as they are just too small. Now that wave 13 is out, and I have most of the Teen Titans, I am really disliking the scale of kid flash and beast boy.
-
I can see the scale issue as well. By themselves, they don't look too bad, but I was just re-doing my Marvel and DC stuff this week and put the "Titans" together and when you put Beast Boy, Kid Flash, etc. next to Nightwing, Starfire, or Cyborg it looks kind of out of whack.
-
Some of this wave was previewed in the latest Toyfare.
Jonah Hex and Creeper. It's believed Kyle is from the upcoming Green Lantern Classics line (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/darthmeks/GetAttachment-1aspx.jpg)
Bane is the Collect and Connect (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/darthmeks/IMG_0004.jpg)
-
Look good, i am in for the Bane wave and the Green Lantern Classics.
-
Very nice. It'll be good to add Creeper and Jonah Hex to the DCUC crew. And I'm now glad that I never hunted down the old DC Superheroes Bane.
-
Agreed, I'm looking forward to both Hex and Creeper as well. I also didn't hunt down (or pick up) the old Bane figure either - and this might be a wave I pick up all of them, so it might work out well.

Glad to finally see Dick Grayson Robin...that to me is and always will be Robin and he'll look great next to my Batman and Scooby Doo and Shaggy Figures

Funny, that reminds me of our daughter. She's really into superheroes, and also, of course, Scooby Doo - so she has her DCUC Batman and Robin in the "Mystery Machine" most of the time, particularly after she watches that episode(s) of Scooby Doo when they guest star.
I agree, to me Dick Grayson is "the" Robin. Not that I don't like some that have come since then (Tim Drake in particular), but Dick Grayson has always been one of my favorite characters, and despite a good rep as Nightwing and a turn as Batman as well, I think he was the most "mainstream" when he was Robin.
-
I´m glad the first Robin (Dick Grayson) has got the attention the character needs
Slim body, accurate depiction of trousse, mocassins and gloves.
-
I just received this wave via BBTS yesterday, and wow it is a good one. I guess it depends on your fandom of Batman, since it is a very Bat-centric wave, but I thought all of the figures were very well done. A Dick Grayson Robin was one of my most wanted figures, and both the regular and variant versions are great. Jonah Hex is a cool character, and I was happy to get a Riddler since I missed out on the WM (and later Matty) exclusive versions. Mercury makes me want to go back to our local WM to pick up Gold just to continue to build the Metal Men. Bane is a great build a figure, and makes me glad I didn't go through the trouble track down the previous one from the Batman line.
Although the price is creeping up to around $15 for these now, I do have trouble cutting back too much. I haven't been buying entire waves (until this one), but each time I get a box of these guys in the mail I continue to be impressed with the overall quality of this line. The figures are all well done, and really display nicely together I think. Anyways, nice wave overall.
-
I have been cutting back since the prices started going up. I still have not completed Validus and just dropped my preorder for GL Classics wave 2.
-
Just got my waves 15 & 16. Other then the Sinestro Batman (which I could have done without), these waves are awesome. From a sculpting standpoint I think Jonah Hex must be the highlight of these waves. He's flat out awesome. I wasn't convinced I really needed another Riddler (after the wave 5 one). But even thought this shares the common body, the head sculpt is so good that he's a definite improvement.
