My interest is in DCUC. Concerned about the next two waves but maybe Wave 19 will be more exciting. Plus, the mystery two-packs.

The quality of the best action figures is still there in the DCUC line and I think it’s still worth supporting.

Yes, distribution problems, scalpers, and other problems are troublesome but not troublesome enough to give up on a great line of action figures like these.

I can’t help but feel that because there is sooooo much negativity about Mattel on general, that people sometimes (in my opinion) tend to go slightly overboard in their criticisms.

I don’t collect MOTU, but I LOVE to see what they are coming up with.

I cannot wait to see what the first glimpses of The Thundercats looks like.

Maybe DC DIrect will turn up something fun.

Hasbro generally doesn’t get me too excited. I must be Jeff’s bizarro, because I think their line has crashed and burned into a horrible bastardization of what it had the POTENTIAL to be. It’s one Spider Man/Captain America/Iron Man after the next. The painted on details in place of real belts is laughable and the sculpts and paint applications seem to have gone from really great to incredible poor. I’m still interested to see what characters make the cut…but I am sure that it will be dominated with 12 versions of Cap, 10 versions of THor, 6 versions of Spiderman and probably one more obscure member of the Wrecking Crew that someone keeps wedging into assortment while dozens of A-List characters languish in obscurity.

Truth be told, I am probably the most excited to see if we are going to get a new wave of Venture Brothers after Doc Orpheus and Phantom Limb!

I love Marvel but Hasbro is killing me with super high prices and making the best figures hard to find.I may be giving up collecting completely if they dont change those things soon.

Upcoming NECA figures as these are always a great shelf display.

The Thundercats! Though I still wish MATTEL won the license instead of Bandai.

DC Direct: I only buy select characters that I like, which is very few, maybe 1 to 3 per year.

Mattel: I do not expect much from Mattel this year.

DC Infinite Heroes – on hold. I love this line and can’t wait to see it come back.
JLU – I no longer collect.
Batman: Brave & the Bold: I don’t collect.
Imaginext DC: I don’t collect.

DC Universe Classics: I am complete so far, but it is getting more difficult to collect this line. The themed waves are bringing complaints for some people. I’m not happy with some of the character selection lately. I’ll continue collecting until Mattel makes it impossible.

Green Lantern Classics: I will buy these as I am a Green Lantern Comic fan.

Green Lantern Movie 6″: I may avoid these unless certain characters stand out as a must buy. Will wait for Walmart and Target CLEARANCE for custom figure parts.

Green Lantern Movie 3.75″: These interest me. This is the kid line, so I’m looking at playsets and vehicles. The figures are rumored to be movie based only with no comic book version figures appearing. That stinks.

Young Justice: I’m interested in the Hall of Justice C&C backdrop. The figures will be limited in articulation like the JLU and Generator Rex. If they tap heavily into the DCU characters, I may collect them all.

I look forward to seeing the comic stuff that is coming (thanks to the movies) for Thor and Captain America. But for cost? I know people complain about the cost of DCUC, but with many retailers putting the price of Marvel Universe figures back to the $8-9 level, that is the line that will go back to pick-n-choose for me. $8.99 for a MU figure versus $14.99 for a DCUC is no contest for me, but I realize like (Marvel Vs. DC) and scale (3-3/4″ Vs. 6″) plays a big part in what people pick up too.

Overall, I just don’t get that pre-excited about Toy Fair anymore anyway. I watch and check out all the pictures at all the sites, and I see stuff that gets me excited, but I have no wish lists or things I really look forward too. I just sit back, wait, watch and don’t get disappointed when something doesn’t get shown.

I’ve got nothing against Mattel. It’s just right now they’re not producing much that really interests me. It happens. I’m moving away from 6″ scale as much as possible..so, in regards to DCUC, the scale, lack of availability and the price all are strikes against it..for me. But, I think the figures look fantastic for the most part.

I dig Masters of the Universe…but since that’s online only and not shown at TF I didn’t mention it.

That being said, I completely sympathize with the difficulty of finding these figures on the shelves in the usual brick and mortar outlets. Toys R Us and Target have them, but they’re about 3 or 4 waves behind the current one. Walmart has been somewhat decent about keeping up with them, and I was fortunate to stumble across most of their latest exclusive wave, along with their exclusive Green Lantern set. (Granted, I paid full price for it and then saw it for half price right after Xmas!)

On my latest trip to Wally the other day, I noticed they didn’t have any DCUC product at all–not even shelf space for it. Not sure if this means they’ve decided to stop carrying the line or if they’re just reorganizing for inventory. Either way, it totally sucks because I haven’t been able to find Wave 1 of the Green Lantern line. I can’t justify dropping the $$ for a complete set, as there are only a couple of figures I really want.

At least I’ll save myself $100+ on Wave 17. I don’t care for the Blackest Night figures, and even though I would like to have the Anti-Monitor C&C, the pics I’ve seen of it make it look unimpressive.
