Wave 4 was partially revealed...
Cyborg
Wonder Woman
Both of which look amazing!!

Wonder Woman looks really good. I am not sure where they were today though. I was in the Mattel both and all they had were the DC 3 3/4 line and the Goon from the movie masters line which actually looked much better than the pictures. I actually want to pick it up now. I am not sure if it has been discussed yet but the pack-in for the Movie masters line is crime scene evidence. A mini jokers mask was the pack-in for the Goon.

Mattel has a separate off-site showroom (like Hasbro) which is where the majority of the DC stuff is shown...

Are you going to wander over and try and talk them out of some GL stuff? ;)

TNI (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=album&album=2008_Toy_Fair%2FMattel%2FDC_Universe_Classics&start=0) has a nice gallery up of Mattel's offerings at Toy Fair (the link is for the DCUC line). Looking through those pics, its really tough to find much to complain about in the DCUC figures. They really all looks pretty nicely done, and its tough for me to not want to pick them all up. I'm glad we got a little preview of Wave 4, but Wonder Woman and Cyborg look great. Its probably just the fact that so many of the "big guns" have been taken care of in Marvel Legends, but the DCUC line seems to be generating a little more buzz right now (and since Hasbro has taken over Legends). As long as distribution is good, Mattel might have a winner here.

*shudder*
Not really Mattel's strong suit, is it? :-\ Here's hoping they do better. Thus far (based on wave 1 only) they've at least had the case ratios done properly. I can always find that second Batman lying around in stores but given it is Batman, that's not a bad thing. It's far and away the most likely figure to be picked up by a non-collector at random, so well done.
The new stuff does look good as well, especially the BAFs. I just wish there was a way around buying the whole set of figures though. I look at the pictures in the gallery and think: don't want/need Robin, Deathstroke, Nightwing, Firestorm, Superman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Black Manta and don't really need a second Aquaman, though I'll get it. Out of 12 known figures that's nine I don't really want, but the Grundy BAF is stellar and the Grodd BAF is pretty nice too, especially now that they've moved to larger BAFs. If I discount the Cyborg/WW from the other wave, it's 7/10 I don't want? Yikes!
Yeah, I know. I'll rationalize my way to getting them ::) I don't own a Nightwing (there's a reason for that) and this Robin, while not classic colors is pretty nice. I don't own a Deathstroke (there isn't a reason really, just not my fave). I don't own the Black Manta, but that's really close to, if not identical to, the Alex Ross version plus it is an Aquaman villain, so I'll relent and get it. I'll get the Aquaman because it is somewhat different from the Ross version and is likely to be more in scale to the Black Manta than the Ross version would be. I'll chuck the Superman to the kid across the street and I'll use Firestorm for target practice. There, that should cover it. :-X ::)
Oh by the way, do we know the BAF for series 4? I'm working on my plans for discarding the Wonder Woman (to my daughter) and Cyborg figures already.
Anyone not wanting their BAF parts from the following, LMK:
Nightwing
Robin
Black Manta
Aquaman
Superman
;)
-
I'm hoping to get a Wonder Woman, so you can have my spare BAF from her if that helps. :-\
-
Do we even know what the series 4 BAF is? I sure don't recall, but I'll take the part, thanks ;)
-
No word on who it is yet.
-
There seems to be pretty good excitement about this line here, reminds me of the earlier Marvel Legends days. I thought it might be fun to post some lists of figures we want to see next, like we did in the ML thread. I realize its early on, and there's a whole universe to get to over the next few years, but who are some characters you'd like to see? Here's a run-down of what is confirmed so far, first of all:
Wave 1
Batman (Classic)
Penguin
Orion
Red Tornado
Etrigan
Metamorpho BAF
Wave 2
Harley Quinn
Aquaman (plus modern variant)
Black Manta
Firestorm (plus classic variant)
Superman Blue (plus Red variant)
Gorilla Grodd BAF
Wave 3
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Nightwing
Robin
Sinestro (plus Sinestro Corps variant)
Deathstroke (plus maskless variant)
Solomon Grundy BAF
Wave 4
Wonder Woman
Cyborg
I think we're supposed to see the rest of Wave 4 revealed at NYCC, which isn't too bad (knowing 4 out of the 5 waves by the end of April or so). Anyways, here's a few figures I'd like to see:
1. Flash (I'm a Wally West fan, but Barry Allen would be fine too)
2. Green Arrow
3. Martian Manhunter
4. Hawkman
5. The Riddler
6. Black Canary
7. The Question (Vic Sage)
8. Zatanna
9. Dr. Fate
10. The Atom (Ray Palmer)
11. Vigilante (I like the "old west" version)
12. Captain Marvel
13. Kalibak
14. Hawkgirl
15. Cheetah
16. Captain Cold
17. Poison Ivy
18. Alfred the Butler/Commissioner Gordon/Lois Lane/etc.
19. Ras al Ghul
20. Mr. Miracle
Ultra Humanite (BAF)
Giganta (BAF)
I know there are lots of others (villains especially) that I'm forgetting, but those are some of my favorites off the top of my head. Aside from Batman and Detective Comics (and the Super Powers show/toyline), I didn't really read much DC growing up (although that has changed). Beyond that, a lot of my knowledge of these characters started with the Justice League/JLU cartoons (which is why I like the Question, Vigilante, etc.)
-
I have seen all of W1 lining the pegs for what seems like several months now. When the heck are we going to get to W2 & W3? Cripes, GI Joe has gone through six waves already!
-
who are some characters you'd like to see?
1. Flash (either Barry or Wally, no Bart or Jay please)
2. Guy Gardner (Yellow Ring costume)
3. Kyle Rayner (his new GL costume, none of that original or Ion suit crap)
4. Any alien GLs!
;D

Here's some pics (http://www.aftimes.com/aslu/slu.shtml) of DCUC Wave 2, courtesy of AFTimes.com. The whole wave looks pretty nifty. After seeing pics of these again, and really wanting the BAF Grodd, I'm thinking about ordering a set online. DC stuff has never been the easiest find around here (although I have seen all of Wave 1, so hopefully that's changing), and I don't want to miss some of the figs in this wave (Harley and Aquaman in particular - and Grodd). I could care less for the Red/Blue Supermen, and was on the fence with Firestorm, but these darn BAFs are going to get me each time. At least out of the three full waves we know, there has been only one figure I really didn't want at all (Electric Supes). The others I can justify having, I guess :).
-
Thanks for the link Brian, it's really helpful. There is a different version of the Grodd on the pegs at my comic store right now. It's an Alex Ross version, but it is quite large as well (the Ross figures tend to be about an inch taller than the DCU figures in most cases). I'm contemplating picking it up now that there's a good comparison shot of Grodd relative to the other figures. This is a really, really nice version of Grodd. But if I opt for the other version, I can skip everything in this wave except for Harley Quinn.
Here's a pick of the Ross version of Grodd (Jeff, have you picked up that GL figure yet?):
(http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0705/21/justice7figures.jpg)
Now I have to decide which to get? I do like the BAF version better looking at the pic above, but I'm looking at $10 for Quinn and $15 for Grodd and done. Otherwise I'm doubling the cost. Anyone out there picking up any of Aquaman/Black Manta/Superman/Aquaman/Firestorm and not keeping their Grodd pieces? :-\
-
Someone at the Fwoosh forums (http://www.thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47758) has posted some detailed pics of Wonder Woman and Cyborg from the Four Horsemen's MySpace page. Nothing we haven't seen before, but some pretty detailed pics for those who are interested. They both look pretty good to me.
-
(Jeff, have you picked up that GL figure yet?):
No. I have an earlier version of DCD John Stewart in his original GL uniform that fits the look of my GL shelf a little better.
I've been skipping most of those Ross figures becaues they are a bit bigger in scale than the rest of the DCD stuff...
-
Lightray (http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=576#more-576)
I also got my series 2 set, Aquaman is my favorite of the wave, and Black Manta turned out better than i thought. I think it looks better then from the photos. My only complaint is the blue paint wash on H.Q.'s face. I think i woul dhave preferred if it was more white.
-
Thanks for posting that evenflow. I don't have a real attachment to Lightray (although the 4th World/New Gods stuff is pretty cool), but the figure does look really nice. I remember in one of the "Ask Cornboy" threads at the Fwoosh, someone asked when we would see more New God figures, and he said that he "plead the fifth" - making me think its possible this figure could be part of Wave 5. I'm really looking forward to NYCC this weekend to see what the future holds for this line. Personally, I'm hoping for the Flash, Green Arrow, and Zatanna to be released this year :).
On the Series 2 note, I did see one Electric Blue Superman at TRU last weekend, but nothing else anywhere else. They also had on Orion, and our local Target has had one Penguin figure for the past few weeks. Hopefully they'll start hitting soon. I passed on the Supes (just want it for the Grodd BAF part), and currently have the wave on order with BBTS - but I was hoping to find them at retail first, we'll see.
-
I'm starting to get nervous with this line. When TRU was carrying the Mattel Superman/Batman lines, they perpetually got the same case over and over and over again. All we ever saw was Superman, Bizarro and Supergirl. One blink of another wave and then right back to the same wave again.
The DCSH stuff has sold really well at Walmart and they keep selling through it, though it's really slowed down of late. I'm wondering if we won't see the same trend up here with only wave 1 ever showing up. Only having one retailer carrying this line right now is frustrating, though I can't blame TRU considering how they got screwed on the Mattel stuff and how poorly Marvel Legends are selling right now.
No interest in new figures/characters really, since I'm no longer up on the characters. I guess I can just hope the BAF figs become less cool with time. I know I'm in through wave 3 here. I understand they will want to produce them, I just won't want them.
I'm hoping for a Flash figure as well. I still don't have one I've been satisfied with so if they can put out a really nice Flash figure in this line, I'd be thrilled. I still have lots of other DC stuff, mostly from Alex Ross lines (which I probably wouldn't have bought had I known this stuff would show up, but whatever), so I'm less keen on some stuff others would be clamoring for. I do think they could do a Green Arrow in this line that could kick the crap out of the Ross version.
-
AFI (http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/) has a final pre-NYCC Q and A with Mattel, and they mention that they will be showing the next two waves of DCUC, as well as the first wave of Infinite Heroes (3 3/4" line), the first wave of JLU figures, and the SDCC exclusives. I'm looking forward to seeing what is up next.
-
I'll join you guys in hoping for a nice GA and/or Flash in the upcoming waves. Those are two that I'd grab for my GL shelf for sure...
-
Brent,
I'm in the same boat as you with the Alex Ross line. The only reason I picked that line up was to get a fairly cohesive DC set of figures without mixing and matching from different lines. With this line, I kind of wish I hadn't picked up the Ross ones. That said, most of the Ross figures are quite nice.
I also have some aprehension about seeing much of this line at retail (which is why I picked up wave 2 where I did). That said, they've sold well enough that I think Walmart will carry at least the first few waves.
-
Yeah there's a lot of great sculpts in the Ross line, no doubt about it. And the Ross subline was pretty consistent with sculpt sizing too. It's just the mixing of all the different DC stuff, moreso because I bought DC stuff from non-Ross lines as well, that it's all over the place :-\ I absolutely love the Superman I have from the Ross line - the retailer exclusive "angry" version of the Series 1 Superman. I've seen nothing like it.
Looks like I'm in the same boat as you too Drew, Scott here is going to hook me up with everything except Aquaman. Like you, I'm concerned about finding them locally so when Scott offered, I jumped. Now it's just Aquaman and an arm I'm in need of before waiting for the Grundy wave.
-
AFI (http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=598) has another DCUC preview up at their site, and this time its Amazo.
-
I'm not crazy about Amazo.
-
I think he looks fine but I'm indifferent to him as a character. I'll probably still pick him up. Looks to be a repaint of the electric Supermen (based on the hole in the back) and that head could be used for Black Adam eventually (whom I can't wait for).
-
Yeah, I think the figure looks pretty nice too - but I don't have all that much of an attachment to the character either. To be honest, my first big exposure to Amazo was in the JLU cartoon, where he looks completely different from this. I've since started reading more DC, and have seen him appear a couple of times (also, a bit different from this), and its cool that they are making him (wonder if he'll be a BAF - or Collect and Connect I guess its called with DCUC).
I think seeing what is next with this line is what I'm looking forward to the most from the NYCC news this weekend. Unless Hasbro really turns it around with Legends, I'm slowing way down on those - and if I can afford it, I think that this will be my "secondary" line (other than Star Wars - and for the moment, Indy). So far, everything has looked pretty great for the most part. Like I said, I'm really holding out hope for Flash and Green Arrow to show up this year (probably only one or the other I'm guessing, if either). It seems like each wave has a "big gun", and with WW anchoring Wave 4, I'm wondering who will be in the final wave of the year. We've had Batman and Superman already, Aquaman in Wave 2, GL in Wave 3 (as well as Robin/Nightwing - man that's a nice wave), WW in 4, so that narrows down the list a bit.
-
Isn't that just Sandman without a shirt?
Two figures in a row I have no interest in, not good. Hoping for an uninteresting BAF for that wave.
I'm not sure if Wonder Woman will end up being the 'anchor' or not. The old sayings about female figures, yada, yada. I think she's a major character for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them slip someone else in there. I don't think it would be a Flash, but maybe a lesser lead character like Green Arrow would be a good fit.
-
This line is sucking wind everywhere I go. Serious heating up the pegs even more than the Marvel Legends figs. :(
-

Not around here. My local TRU has just two Demons on the pegs and this store got at least four cases of wave 1 that I saw and 1 case of wave 2. Target's pegs have been bare for about a month. Contrast that to the Brood wave, which just isn't moving at all - even the "decent" figs like Hydra Soldier, Cap and Black Knight. Granted this probably has to do with the newness of DCUC and the general excitement of the line but Mattel is kicking Hasbro's ass in the 6" superhero action figure category.

Not here either. So far, these pretty much fly off the pegs. Target has a lone Penguin, and TRU has an Orion and Electric Blue Supes (which bugs me because I know I missed the rest of this wave). I'm really hoping it will start hitting a little heavier soon. I have a set preordered as a back up right now, but I'd just as soon find them locally.
Like I've said before, overall I'm more of a Marvel guy - but I find myself more excited for the DCUC toyline. Part of that might be that all the "big guns" - and then some - were tackled by ToyBiz through their 15 waves, and Hasbro has gotten to some of the requested figures that were left. There are still some characters I'd pick up from the Legends line, but not nearly what it used to be. As far as the pegs, Legends keeps them nice and toasty around here - at all the stores. Target has Quicksilvers and Wave 3 stuff, and WM and TRU both have pegs full of Wave 3 last I checked. Oh, and TRU has lots of the Emma and Black Queen exclusives. Like Mikey said, I think that Mattel is really dominating in the 6" superhero action figure category now - and who would think we'd be saying that after mishandling the Batman and He-Man lines (and the crappy movie lines).

Wave 4 packaged pics (http://www.poeghostal.com/2008/09/dcuc-series-4-packaged-pics.html)
Apparently, these will be hitting online stores shortly. Ordered my case last week, hopefully I don't get stuck with that horrendous gold Captain Atom.
-

I agree, thats one variant i really do not want.
-
Ares and Wonder Woman look awesome! Kudos to DC on continuously improving this line.
For us non DC folks - who is Artemis?
-
Artemis is a supporting character in the WW books.
She became a "replacement" Wonder Woman back in the 90s when DC decided it was "cool" to kill/replace all their characters as stunts. Basically, Hippolyta (WW's mom) had a dream that WW was going to die. Hippolyta decided to have a contest to make sure the "best" amazonian held the Wonder Woman title and then she rigged it so that Artemis would win and the "real" WW would lose (to protect her from the death).
So, Artemis got to be Wonder Woman for a while. Along with the title, she got all sorts of attitude from the JLA for not being the "real" WW. Then, to top it off, she got killed just like Hippolyta's vision allowing the real WW to get her job back... until she died (which is a whole other story ::)).
-
ActionFigureTimes (http://www.aftimes.com/aslu/slu.shtml) has some pics up of Wave 4 and Wave 5 (WM Exclusive) if anyone is interested. There's also some upcoming JLU stuff and the Target ML wave. Nothing we haven't seen before, but some more detailed shots of the figures in hand.
I'm wondering if Mattel's shipping/distribution is going to improve. Its always been a problem for them it seems, and I know here locally DCUC has been next to impossible to find aside from Wave 1 (which still isn't plentiful by any means, usually just an Etrigan or Red Tornado here or there). Wave 2 came and went quickly at TRU (and nowhere else) here, and now TRU doesn't even have a spot for DCUC. I've seen Green Lantern at Target a few times, but nothing else from Wave 3 (which I got online). I've gotten Waves 2 and 3 (with 4 preordered) online, but with cutting back to just 2-3 figures per wave most likely, I'm glad that some places online might be having individual figures up for order as well. Maybe things will improve, but around here the Mattel stuff seems real spotty still at this point.
-
Found part of wave 4 (Ares) at a Target in Kansas City on the weekend. Unfortunately the only store I hit and the only figure there. Hoping Walmart here starts in again on the line with Christmas season not that far off.
-

You should have looked me up while you were here. I could have given you that Red Hulk piece. ;D
Do you remember which Target you found it at?
And on the subject, the only wave 2 and 3 figures I've seen here were the two wave 2 Superman figures (when the wave first hit) and a Robin from wave 3. Distribution here has all but died.
John
-
Jeez, sorry John, I didn't know you were in KC. It would have been very nice to meet you and possibly even see your collection.
It was the Ward Parkway Target. At least I think that's the name, down in a little mall between the Ward Parkway and Stateline Road.
-

Yeah, I'm still curious about the distribution on this line as well. I haven't really seen anything around town lately aside from Red Tornado and Etrigan, and the only Wave 3 figure I've seen at retail is Green Lantern, but that's been a few weeks ago. I preordered Waves 2 and 3 online, and already have those, but I've stopped ordering the entire waves (lack of interest in some characters, and can't afford it), so I hope that the retail situation picks up, or we'll have more opportunities now to do single character orders online (like the CornerStoreComics situation mentioned earlier). I definitely want to get a Wonder Woman from Wave 4, and possibly Cyborg and Batman Beyond as well.
-

I just caught this...you found them at Target? I had always thought they were Wal Mart exclusives, and the ones I found at Wal Mart today had exclusive stickers on them.
BTW, they were only $10.44. Freakin' sweet. :) No Crossbones, Guardian or Vision but I did get the rest including the Human Torch variant.

I believe Brent found the DC Ares figure, not the Marvel Walmart Ares wave.
-
Now why would I know he was talking about DC? It's not like he said "wave 4", not like he said he found Ares himself, not like he mentioned it in a DC thread. Sheesh, you expect me to actually pay attention to what people are saying?
:-[ ;D :-[
Guess I just have Marvel on the brain at the moment. Sorry folks.
John
-
I would just like to see this line. I have waves 1&2, and haven't seen anything else. This line is really frustrating me, because I'm more interested in these figures then any other line right now. But I can't find them anywhere. I'm tempted to get them online, but am concerned about buying cases. From wave 4, I want the regular wonder woman and the silver Capt. Atom. I wouldn't want to order a case and risk getting stuck with the others (and still not have the ones I want).
-
Yeah, I think distribution continues to be a big problem for Mattel (at least around here). Granted, I did see Wave 3 (except for Nightwing) at our local Target yesterday - but I had already gotten a set online. Otherwise, Wave 2 came and went quite quickly (and only at TRU) around here, and Wave 1 seems to have a few figures still on the pegs here and there (usually Red Tornado and Etrigan it seems). I don't mind ordering a set of a wave online if I want basically the whole lineup (like Wave 3), but like I mentioned earlier I'm trying to get more selective with what I buy, this line in particular. I really want the WW from Wave 4, and wouldn't mind having Cyborg and Batman Beyond as well - but I just can't bring myself to order a $70 (plus shipping) set online to get those three figures. It looks like waves in 2009 and forward it might be easier to order individual figures (I hope), so that might eliminate the problem.
If I had to rely on retail for this line (or the previous DCSH line), I'd be out of luck I think. I can't imagine how "casual buyers" who may not visit stores 1-3 times a week (like many of us do) would have any hope of finding the majority of what they want - but that goes for a lot of lines these days. There's just so much stuff out there, and the turnover between waves is so quick, its often "blink and you miss it" with a lot of lines - Star Wars included sometimes. I miss the "good old days", where you could - for the most part - walk into a store and pick up almost any character you were looking for.
As a side note, I was just checking BBTS and see that they have single figure orders available (similar to CSC mentioned earlier) for Waves 6 and 7. I've always had very good luck doing business there, if anyone is interested. I wish they had orders for Wave 4 as well, but I think that is before the "online single ordering" policy Mattel has for the upcoming waves.
-
Looks like they're hitting here again. Since saying I'd only seen that single Robin I've seen them three times - twice I saw a couple of GLs and Sinestros, and today I found the whole wave. I have heard of other wave 4 sightings in KC as well.
John
-
Pics have been shown of some upcoming 2-packs. Has there been any word on when these are supposed to be released? Also, are they Target exclusives, or are they supposed to have a wider release?
-
Has anyone been seeing Wave 4 (Wonder Woman wave) at retail yet? I had noticed some reports of it hitting some Targets I believe, but I wasn't sure how widespread that was. I did originally have this wave preordered online, but realized that I probably shouldn't be spending so much on each wave with figures I didn't necessarily need. Anyways, I'd really like to pick up Wonder Woman (and possibly Cyborg and Batman Beyond as well), and was just curious if these had shown up anywhere yet. I know that Wave 3 is just barely around here (usually just GL), and other than that its usually just Etrigan and/or Red Tornado. If this is how distribution is going to continue to be, it makes it tempting to continue to order cases online. Of course, the fact that they are taking individual figure orders for 2009 should hopefully help things.
-
I found everyone, including Artemis, except Batman Beyond earlier this week at Target (and from what I gather, multiple people also had the same luck at multiple Targets in Massachusetts). I bought everything I wanted and canceled my pre-order with CSC (for a minimum fee). I don't know how soon the Targets will restock, usually they get a case or two and then there's empty pegs for weeks. I just need to track down BB's Despero piece and I'll be almost caught up until the next wave hits (still need that classic Aquaman from wave 2, hopefully those revision cases hit soon).
These things should have a red sticker on the front of them. Other than finding wave 1 at TRU, Target is the only place I've seen them. Walmart absolutely sucks. I have never seen any DC, ML Ares or ML FFF wave there (and that concerns me regarding their DC exclusive wave).
-
Yeah, Target has been the only place carrying these around here too. TRU had Wave 1 for a bit, then - very briefly - Wave 2 as well, but now they don't even have peg space for this line. Wal-Mart hasn't had any of them, and even their Marvel Legend stuff (the Ares wave) is just on a small rack on the end of the aisle next to the endcaps (no place in the action figure aisle). I've seen Waves 1 and 3 at Target (Wave 2 wasn't ever there - and seems to be the toughest find so far), and currently our closest store has 1 each of Etrigan, Orion, and Green Lantern I believe. I don't know that a lot of stock is going through, but they seem to sell out (or close) as soon as they hit around here. Of course, with these priced at $10-11 and sitting next to smaller lines (SW, Indy, Joe) at $8, or the competing Legends line ($15), these are starting to look like a bargain in some ways.
-
I'm still shocked that Wal Mart has an exclusive DCU line. They're not carrying anything from the 6" or 3 3/4" line. I'm sure it's so they could use their own series to test the market, and to avoid the risk of the first four waves sitting around before their exclusive wave hits, but it still seems a bit strange to me.
Haven't seen wave 4 around here personally but I've heard more than one person say they've found bits of it.
John
-
It's funny, but Walmart Canada carried series 1 and it sold very well. I know of a couple of stores that went through everything 4-5 times minimum. That's saying something because the market is quite small. Since that wave though they seem to have dropped it completely, meaning no retailers carrying it up here at all.
I did get wave 1 at retail here. I got wave 2 from OCB and wave 3 I just bought off ebay with the variant Sinestro. Thankfully those were the only three waves I wanted the BAF from. Kinda painful buying a couple of figures from wave 1, but Metamorpho was a favorite of mine as a kid so I couldn't pass it up. Now I get to be selective going forward.
Still really wanting a Flash and a Green Arrow from this line though. Captain Cold?
-

Wave 7, rumored to be coming, Wave 7...
-
Thanks to JohnH and a local shop, I'm caught up with DCUC - I ended up getting series 3 friday, and series 4 on saturday.
I have a bit of a problem though that I'm hoping someone can help out with.
The right arm for Despero (that came with Cyborg) has some sort of a manufacturing defect. The joint on the shoulder socket has some excess plastic, so it can't move. Because of this, the only way I can put the arm in is to have it sticking straight out. This issue is compounded by the fact that the pin that goes into the body is also messed up, so the arm just falls out. I just got off the phone with Mattels customer support, and they don't have replacement parts for these guys. So although they are going to send me out a voucher for the value of the figure, that doesn't do me much good for replacing the arm. If the figures were available on shelves it wouldn't be a big deal - I could just go buy another one with the voucher. But I had to get series 4 through a collector shop, and it was the only one.
So if there is anyone who has picked up Cyborg (who's completely awesome btw) and has no interest on building Despero, please let me know. Hopefully we can arrange some sort of appropriate cost for the arm.

I have an extra MOC Wonder Woman that i would like to trade for a MOC Batman Beyond. Any help would be appreciated.

I was checking our Targets for Wave 4 this weekend (pretty much caught up with SW at the moment), but didn't see anything from this wave at all. I did see 1 Sinestro, and 3-4 Green Lanterns between a couple stores, but that was about it. This line continues to be pretty scarce overall around here. Part of me wishes I would have kept my preorder for a case of these, but I just can't afford to do that with every wave - and I don't necessarily need every single figure. I'd like to get WW, Cyborg, and Batman Beyond if possible - but if nothing else I'd at least like to pick up Wonder Woman so I continue completing a nice JLA set up.

I've seen all of the GL wave so far, but they haven't hung around for long. Wonder Woman has been going for under $15 if you're worried about getting her at retail.
