Kamandi, the Last Toy on Earth (and Others)

?My pals — er, pal — at ToyFare got the exclusive scoop on the figures in wave 14 of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics figures, and man, it’s a doozy. If you can’t tell by the pics above (and I can’t, so I’m not judging you), they are:

? Zatanna
? Tyr
? Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
? Hourman
? Obsidian
? Gold
? Kamandi
? Build-a-Figure: Ultra-Humanite

I’ve talked before about how Mattel seems to be making the most obscure DC superheroes it can for this theoretically mass-market toyline, but this is ridiculous. I guess there’s a chance kids have heard of Zatanna from cameos in Smallville or JLU, and maybe they’ll buy Golden Age Green Lantern because he’s a Green Lantern, despite not looking like any GL they’ve ever seen. But the rest? Madness. Oh, and apparently this is the new Wal-Mart wave, so good luck, DC collectors — I’m pretty sure no human being has ever found last year’s DCUC Wal-Mart set. Still, if I ever see it, even I have to buy a Kamandi figure, just on principle alone. (Via Poe Ghostal)
