I should totally add these to the visual checklist


Okay, I have to ask this... Why?... It's not like there are any changes to the figures, only the packaging and the pack-in in a few cases.

The visual guides are great and I'm sure that you've put many an hour into them but that latest DCUC one is just too cluttered, perhaps you should consider breaking them down into years instead of trying to cram everything onto one image... Would be great if you included IDs for the figures, too, like the DCSH one. I do like that you've kept everything by wave with DCUC, but why are the JLU and MOTUC checklists just randomly (to a certain degree) placed on those?

Not meaning to bust your chops here, Christophe, but the questions keep coming back to me everytime you post an update to the checklists...

(BTW, if there are going to be more than 2 of those DCUC vs MOTUC packs perhaps a completely seperate checklist for those?...)

Christophe, I wouldn't worry about adding the WGSH's to the visual checklist.

I've thought about adding them to my checklist now and again (sorry, shameless plug), but I don't think they're all that crucial in terms of a guide to who's in the line since they're just repackaged figures.

If I ever add them, it will just be as a text note or something. I just don't think they do much for the visual guides. A large resource that includes case assortments and stuff, maybe, but not visual guides like ours.

Those versus 2pks are interesting too. I guess I'll have to add them to both my checklists. That's annoying. :?

Haha. I think I should clarify. See I'll be making them in another fashion in one of the next few updates. They're going to be aligned properly and spaced evenly, so the source image will be slightly bigger but this time there'll be room for checkboxes (which we used to have), and maybe beside those checkboxes (or maybe different colored-checkboxes) is a WGSH mark just to distinguish em. I won't physically be adding duplicates on. Still not sure if I'll add names again. Don't worry guys I get the sentiment and actually sorta feel grateful. We all want these checklists to look awesome right? :)

Oh btw, JLU's (generally) kept by team, with a few exceptions. Yes the MOTUC one IS random. :)

Christophe would you consider releasing a version of your JLU checklist with a plain white background?

Let me first say that I think this is a really cool idea. These are the two franchises I was totally into when I was a kid, and for nostalgia purposes alone, I will buy this box set. However, is there an actual reason to facilitate a series of these? Was Batman in this comic? Did he fight Skeletor? Seems like if 2 heroes are going at it in the first set, shouldn't Skeletor be fighting Lex Luthor?

As much as I wanted a MOTUC Superman I can't say that I'm a fan of this product at all because what I wanted was an actual MOTUC Superman not a DCUC re-issue...


A MOTUC-based Superman would have made this pack irresistible! As it stands, it's really cool, but I'm kind of annoyed they're figures we've already gotten repeatedly now. I wish there were some differences or re-deco to make it worth buying. Mattel did a great job with the packaging though.

I think that adding the figures to a checklist like the one we do: DCUC Checklist is something that people actually use. I've had several emails about what figures have been released and how many times.. between the checklist and the Repaint/Re-Release guide, I think it all helps for those looking for the figures.

As for the two pack, while I don't need that Superman, I'll pick up the 2pack for He-Man so I'm fine with it.

Wish He-Man came with his power sword. The first page of the comic shows him wielding it.

Not crazy about this DC-MOTU stuff.


Its certainly nowhere near chocolate and peanut butter mixing it up.... :wink:

I'm a complete sucker for teamups. crossovers, versus, etc...

I'm probably gonna get the Superman/He-man one.
Its just to cool. Its almost art to me. It will probably be something I put on a shelf and look at forever thinking "that is so cool".

People are actually wanting MORE He-Man/DCUC 2-packs? Weird...

It's nothing more than a marketing gimmick loosely tied in with an old one-shot comic from the 80s. There's no logic behind turning this into an ongoing sub-line of crossover 2-packs. You might as well ask for Barbie/DCUC or WWF/DCUC crossover 2-packs. Those make just as much sense. :roll:

Pitching ideas like this is basically encouraging Mattel to release more repacks instead of NEW figures. I'm surprised any collector would be campaigning for a bunch of pointless repacks we don't need.
