Retro Review: DC Classics
Wave 6 (Kalibak)
Continuing our series of Retroviews as we work to complete our DC Classics Review Archive, today we bring you DC Classics Wave 6, the Kalibak Wave.
Wave six first hit retail at the very end of 2008 and became more available over the first few months of 2009. The set reviewed here showed up at a Wal-Mart in early January. That Wal-Mart had never carried DC Classics before and didn't receive another case until the fall reset. While I was lucky enough to run across my wave six locally, all of the other IAT staffers had to make toy runs to a remote Wal-Mart about 45 minutes north of here throughout the Winter - it was the only one within an hour that maintained pegs for DC Classics. That was indicative of the odd distribution of wave six, at least, at first.
Matty on Facebook: Public Enemies Wave 2 – “No samples yet”
Superman/Batman Public
Enemies Wave 1 (Target )
The Public Enemies wave wasn't something I was terribly excited about when it was first revealed. I wanted Brimstone as soon as I saw him, and still do, but I wasn't that interested in the stylized DC Classics figures that stood between me and the Engine of Destruction. Now that I've had them in hand for a day, my opinions have shifted a bit and I might be able to find some room on my shelves for a few of the figures, particularly if it's the only version they're ever going to receive.
