More JLU News From Toy Guru!

From a personal email I received from Toy Guru(who works for Mattel):


I’m excited to share some great news about Mattel’s Justice League Unlimited line. Due to overwhelming support from the fans, Mattel and Target are teaming up to bring an all new Collector’s Line to store shelves starting this August!

16 brand new figures along with collector requested repaints and reissues will be available in singles, 3-packs and 6 packs. Figures will be out in two waves. Each wave will consist of two 6-packs, two 3 packs and five single carded figures, some with brand new accessories. This line will be sold exclusively at Target stores starting Aug 1, 2008. At this time the line will be an in store exclusive only.

Wave 1 will be revealed at New York Comic Con in April and Wave 2 will be shown at Comic Con San Diego in July.

There may be a few other JLU surprises this year as well. But fans will just have to wait for the summer conventions to find out what!

We are pleased so show the first 6-pack for Wave 1: Attack from Apokolips featuring Superman, Darkseid, Mr. Miracle, Lashina, Mantis and Forager.















Along with these figures, we are excited to announce that the line will also include several major MIA characters including The Question!

*Note to collectors, these are not the final figures and we do plan to adjust Mantis’ cape color and Forager’s shield.

*Note: Photo shows 5poa Superman. That may be a good sign for those who like the 5poa figures.

You don't gotta lurk in the shadows no more...

They're out. Check out the official online WIZARD article on JLU 2008.

Wizard clears the air...

Not that they had issues or anythin' but those images we saw on the video? They're up on a gallery now. Apparently the smaller figures DO belong to a smaller line and are called DC Universe: Infinite Heroes. The 'Collector Series' label will refer to boxed sets of 3 figures, such as Flash/Mirror Master/Weather Wizard, Commissioner Gordon/GCPD/GCPD and just maybe Hawkman/and what seems to be 2 Thanagarians. More new figures come in the form of Captain Marvel, Power Girl, Batwoman, Batman, Question, Husk, Wildcat, Killer Croc

The Man of the Hour hits Manila

JLU fans rejoice. The 10" Hourman is now available in some stores in the Manila area (Philippines). I've spotted a couple at the Rustan's department store in Glorietta Makati. Also there is currently an e-bay auction based in Singapore. Also spotted are Justice Lord versions of Green Lantern and The Flash. Both are straight repaints of their originals.

Drive You Crazy...

After years of pining after a JLU Hal Jordan figure, fans get a Hal in New Frontier design. It's yet unconfirmed if it's related to the DCD New Fronitier figures or if it's in a scale/style all its own.

DCUC exclusives at the New York con

WIZARD UNIVERSE shows us the DCUC exclusives



For those of you who can’t get enough of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics, a trio of black-clad figures will be available at the Mattel booth. Tech Suit Mr. Freeze will be exclusive to the show, and if you didn’t snag a Knight Shadow Batman or Black Outfit Superman at retail, you’ll get another shot at both.

From the photos it seems that the new stuff we're getting are the long awaited Tech-suit/Full-suited Mr Freeze and a Black Suit Superman that difers from the original by having a solid black neck area (as opposed to exposed skin).

View them at the Wizard site and discuss it at the forums.

DC Universe: Giants of Justice is the 12" line continued from DC Superheroes' 12" series. Interestingly, the name 'Giants of Justice" was also the name of a previous 2-pack featuring animated Superman and Batman under the DC Superheroes: Justice League Unlimited 10" line that was an exclusive to Toys R Us.

Also sighted are a repainted Batman and Superman (says Buttmunch of the Fwoosh)

What we know so far: JLU 2008

Here are tidbits of info from ToyFare regarding JLU 2008.

We will be seeing 16 new characters soon, not including repaints/redecos. Here's what's been confirmed.

1. The Question
2. Lashina
3. Forager
4. Mantis

Lashina, Forager and Mantis will be part of a 6-pack with Mr Miracle, Superman and Darkseid (not a new version)

JLU will be a Target exclusive line beginning summer. It is yet unexplained what will happen to the foreign market.

2009 will most likely usher in more non-TV animated characters.

Thanks to ToyGuru and Airmax at AFI for the info.

Updated visual checklist for DCSH!- November

Updated visual checklist for DCSH! Now with clearer images and some change-ups.

First Batch of Mattel Questions and Answers - November

Christmas came early. Here are our first batch of answers from Mattel:


1.) Like JLU, will DCSCH/DCUC re-release figures like Azrael, Blue skirt Supergirl, etc?

This is something we are looking into and we hope to have announcement to make soon. We are well aware of the demand for harder to find 06 and 07 figures. Right now the main line will consist of all new figures, but this is an excellent option for some exclusive items for select retailers.



2.) It seems that the latest batches of figures have been made using a softer grade of plastic than was previously used. This has resulted in a higher degree of "jelly legs" than before. Are there any plans to correct this or can we expect this to continue?

Mattel constantly works with our vendors to improve quality. We’ll pass these comments along to the design team so they can work on needed improvements.



3.) Any plans for the future "Justice League Unlimited" characters seen in "The Once and Future Thing" and "Epilogue"? I'm particularly interested in the Future Static Shock character.

This is certainly a set of characters that has come up. Until we are ready to make an announcement about JLU Unlimited, you’ll just have to wait and see. No one is off the table and if all plans go through we think fans will be very excited about the 08 line up.



4.) Now that the JLU line is being targeted more toward collectors, will we see character variants that are comic / show accurate? (for example: Savage Time Batman, Future Superman, etc.)

Again, see our previous answer. We are exploring all of these character options and are looking at ways of keeping the Core 7 in the line but making them fresh for fans and collectors. Does this mean more “Yellow suit Batman” no. But it does mean we are exploring other fan requested decos of these characters to do in the JLU style. Until we are ready to make an official announcement you’ll have to wait and see!



5.) Is there any chance of more playsets or vehicles in the JLU line?

At this time the line will center around the 4 ¾ size figures.

Repack?

Hey guys...so I wet to Austin last night......was going to a haunted house and a party with friends.....but of course I managed to swing by toys r us to see what they had....

I saw this and I at first thought someone repackaged it but upon looking at whole thing it does not appear to have been opened I could be wrong but really does not look to have been opened at all..........I bought it because I needed a better painted Blk Canary....but still its strange as the backing and the name cards go to vigilnate/obsidian/brainiac.....

if it was repackaged I think its weird that they would replace BC with the older one and in my opinion the better version

New 3-packs showing up.

Check your Targets or E-bay. Starman and JLORD Hawkgirls are now appearing in case you missed 'em before. Hopefully Mr. Miracle and Fire/Ice packs follow soon.
