Matty:
“Hey DC toy fans!
As we get close to 2010 we wanted to reveal the all new look for DC Universe toys from Mattel! Every DC Universe Classic and Infinite Hero figure in 2010 will be in an all new package which will include a DC 75th collector button featuring vintage DC art!
You’ll be able to start your 75th collection with Wave 12 of Classics, on sale in early Spring 2010. Enjoy the pictures below and happy holidays!

I love the skulls on the bubble…
If you look closely at the photos, some packages simply say “Includes Collector Button” while others are numbered (Iron’s box is pictured to the left). Since DCIH will also include the buttons in 2010. If you want a complete set, looks like you’ve got two lines to pick up.
The boxart on the card includes many characters that are already in the line, but again, if you look closely, you can see the Ultra-Humanite, Vixen, & Martian Manhunter pictured as well.
I absolutely love the new packaging.
Agreed. Absolutely love them. So much better than the current packaging.
Me three. I love that they’re not radically different like the orange/purple shift from a few years back. They should look good all lined up on my wall.
The back of the box says “buy all seven” so does Desaad have a Super Powers stand and a C&C part?
Aw, crap. If you have to buy all seven going forward that means I have to get those crappy SP losers to finish my C&Cs??
I’m not sure. I thought Desaad was the SP stand character and the others would build Darkseid, but we’ll have to see.
Even if that’s the case, it may not be a reflection on future waves.
They look great!
The skulls on the Spectre packaging are an interesting touch. I wonder how long it will take for skull packaging variants of the other figs to start popping up.
I want a whole set of skull packaged wave 12. LOL
i like that new packaging… it certainly POPS better than the current.
The packaging is sharp. I still don’t get why Mary is on stilts.
Her legs do look long in the package. I don’t remember them looking that long on the other pics, but I’d have to go back and see.
Buttons? really?
If you think back, The DC both at conventions has been doing buttons as giveaways for at least 5 years now and there was a big button giveaway during the 50th anniversary as well so I think it is a great continuation of a 25 year old tradition.
That’s very true. I have a couple of those up on my corkboard.
I didn’t know about the 50th buttons, but I was a wee tot back then.
That’s surprisingly great!
I really like it.
Ultra Humanite is in the picture, maybe we will get him soon.
Maybe Desaad’s cnc part is the killer gloves. Thanks
LOL
This packaging is much improved over last year’s fare.
Them focusing on the 75 years gives me hope that the rumor lists are true and we’ll be seeing Alan Scott, Hourman, and Starman in these upcoming waves.
I would love to get a complete JSA.
If I could get every character from Justice League of America #100, I’ll be one happy camper!
The infamous JLA #100. That comic seemed to focus more than a few writer’s works.
I agree though. I’d love to have all of those.
That packaging looks great!
I saw some open pics of the Darkseid the other day. I’m liking him a lot more now!
I think he’ll still be too big, but I like the sculpt.
