DCUC Convention Exclusive Speculation

Jim_Abell · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 4:38 pm

The latest Q&As have revealed a little info about the DCUC con exclusives... This from AFTimes...

Quote:

Q: Will there be an exclusive DCUC figure for Comicon? If so, can you give us a hint if it will be an all-new figure (like Manbat was) or a repainted figure?

A: We can confirm there will be a DCUC figure for Comic Con. It will be a “new” figure that shares some existing parts. But it will be just as “new” as Orion and Red Tornado sharing parts. We can’t give any more hints at this time other then to say it is a an alien figure. We will be revealing all of our San Diego Comic Con figures at NY Comic Con in April.

...and it was also stated that there would be some re-paint and re-pack characters for NYCC and WWC...

I'm hoping that one of the NYCC and WWC exclusives will be a re-paint of Penguin with the robot penguin (actually I would hope they'd put two in since it's a con piece) and maybe the black/silver suit Supergirl?... maybe a brown Man-Bat?...

For SDCC who could be an alien that uses existing parts?...

Poe Ghostal has a good one with the modern John Jones, but then that would be a good retail variant as well...

How 'bout Abin Sur (or pretty much any humaniod GL)?... Just a new head on Hal Jordan's body...

Superman, Supergirl, Power Girl, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Adam Strange, Prince Gavyn Starman (there's plenty more, I know)-- all are aliens and could use existing or soon-to-exist parts

Plenty of Fourth World characters, would be a good way to get Metron out considering the size of his chair...

...that's all I got right now... your thoughts?...

I'm guesing the repaints will be brown Man-Bat and the cancelled SDCC Mr. Freeze repaint.

For the other? Beats me.

maybe. depends on if they get the distribution figured out. Last years JLU exclusive was the easiest one to find as folks here at AFI offered to get it for us. cost me 15$. there were plenty to go around, especially after the second show, WWChicago.

I have yet to see DCUC wave 1.

I can't reveal any more info at this time, but I can tell fans that our DCUC Comic Con figure is going to set the new standard for Comic Con exclusives. Not only is it an all new figure, but it will be a huge surprise and will raise the bar forever. While it does share some parts, 80% of the figures in the DCU line share some parts like legs and torsos.

We'll be revealing all of our 2008 San Diego Exclusives in April at NY Comic Con. The NY Comic Con repaint exclusive will be revealed in the next issue of Toy Fare.

Hey Toy Guru,

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Will the NY Comic Con exclusive be an exclusive available at San Diego Comic Con as well?

As for the SDCC figure, is it a character that has been represented in plastic form before? (DCD included?)

It wouldn't be someone too obscure that would make people scratch their heads..but I don't think it would be someone as major as martian Manhunter because that would really upset a lot of people...

Maybe someone more middle of the road...like Adam Strange?

So I take it this means that this year the WWC and SDCC exclusives are going to be different. That's kind of a kick in the butt to the people that can only make one show.

If it is Lobo, I will rats my pants and be forced to buy 2 of them at the NYCC (It will be available there right?)
