BBTS has placed Wave 13 sets and singles up for pre-order as well as providing images of the figures. I've grouped the images together below and resized them evenly, but scale may not be accurately represented.

I have one nitpick that I have to point out. For Superboy, I hope there is time for Mattel to have the neck/shoulder painted black on the final product. For some fans, it may be a minor thing, but he just doesn't look right with the blue neck.

Wave 5 (Metallo)

One of the features we wanted to have since we began was a complete review archive of DC Classics. At the outset, we also conceived the idea of a Retro Review, a feature where we'd spend some time on old toy from yesteryear (wait until you see SilntAngl's review of the 1987 G.I. Joe Techno-Viper).

Well, the two ideas seemed fairly congruent and we decided that the first batch of Retro Reviews would work backwards from DC Classics Wave 7 until the beginning. That was the plan anyway. Some technical issues have forced us to skip Wave 7 (for now). So, what better than to get the most difficult-to-find, gnashing of teeth wave out of the way first? Yep, our very first retroview will focus on the ire of many a DCUC collector, the Wal-Mart Exclusive Wave 5.

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look acro- Hold up. We're interrupting our regularly scheduled MRF for a late special edition. I had another article for today. It was for a character that, at the very least, should've already had a DC Direct figure or even a JLU figure from Mattel by now. It was a character that's over sixty years old and though he's never been a front-liner, he's always top of mind when you think of Golden Agers. But I decided against running it today.

ItsAllTrueReview: DC Direct Kryb & Indigo

Today we have a Blackest Night double feature! Last week, DC Direct released the second wave of Blackest Night figures hot on the heels of Mattel’s release of the DC Classics Color of Fear two-pack. In this review, we’ll take a look at Kryb and Indigo from DC Direct and then we’ll follow up with a review of Romat Ru and Karu-Sil from Mattel.

Blackest Night is the biggest story in comics right now and we’re only about halfway through the ninety books it runs through. The basic outline is simple: the Green Lantern Corps is now part of a larger mythos with other ringbearers who utilize various emotions that correspond to their particular color of the rainbow. The different colors don’t all get along, but they’re being forced to fight alongside one another against an eighth corps of reanimated dead, the Black Lanterns, that feed on emotion and want to end life as we know it. Creepy, huh? Of course, it’s fantastically more complicated than that and if you’d like to learn more, check out the Blackest Night mini-site at DCComics.com.
