Toys of the Week: DC Universe Wave 2

Posted at 2:15 PM May 12, 2008

I honestly don't know how Mattel's DC Universe figures will do. I mean, unlike Marvel, after the JLA, DC doesn't have the stars that Marvel does. But I do know if DCU tanks, it won't be for lack of trying—these figures look great, thanks to the amazing He-Man sculptors the Four Horsemen, and the character selections are awesome (for now). I'll be picking up a Harley Quinn as soon as I find her, and even though I'm not a Firestorm or Black Manta fan, they both look so good I'm actually considered picking them up as well. And frankly, I love that Mattel had the balls to put Superman Red n' Blue in this second wave. That kind of chutzpah should be rewarded with sale; you can buy the whole set from Entertainment Earth right here, if you don't want to stalk the toy shelves.
