DC Universe Classics
Encyclopedia
DC Universe Classics is an action figure
toyline, a sub-line of the DC Universe
toy brand manufactured by Mattel
. These are 6-inch scale figures based on characters owned by DC Comics
. The entire line is sculpted by the Four Horsemen Studios
.
, Vertigo, and WildStorm
. DC Universe Classics was first announced at San Diego Comic Con 2007, with the first wave of action figures on display. The line was scheduled for initial availability in January 2008. At SDCC, close-ups of the second wave of action figures were shown, along with a line of 3" game figures that sold as the "Fighting Figures" sub-line. The second wave of Classics figures (and variants) was shown at Wizard World Chicago, alongside the first wave of figures. The third wave of figures was announced in October 2007, with photos being shown in the December 12, 2007, issue of ToyFare magazine. The fourth and fifth waves were announced at the 2008 New York Comic Con, and three of the five (six, including the Collect and Connect figure) figures from the sixth wave were shown at Wizard World Philadelphia
in May 2008. More figures were revealed at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con and on MattyCollector.com.
The final wave of action figures to be sold at retail will be Wave 20. The line will later be rebranded DC Universe All-Stars
. The first offerings for this new line are Larfleeze
, Superboy-Prime
, Flashpoint
Plastic Man
, and Batman Beyond.
Availability also became a concern with the San Diego Comic Con exclusive Gleek
figure, which was only available at the convention and not offered on Mattel's website after the show. The figure quickly sold out, and there are no plans to re-release it.
Collectors, concerned about quality control, said some figures they purchased had stuck joints, bad paint applications, and mismatched parts. Others have complained about scale issues, with certain figures produced either too large (Lobo) or too small (Sinestro
, Big Barda
), as well as the fact that Collect and Connect figures have a height limit.
Collectors have seen relatively quick price jumps since the line began. Initially, figures sold for under $10 each. Later, as the U.S. economy worsened in 2008-09, collectors saw price hikes of individual figures to $12.99 and then to $14.99 by 2010. In 2011, figures are generally sold for $15.99 to $17.99 in stores such as Toys'R'Us, Target, and Walmart.
toyline from the 1980s, from character choices to their general design. All of the characters who were in the Super Powers line have appeared in DC Universe Classics and DC Superheroes, although four of them (Kalibak
, the Penguin
, Orion
, and Mr. Freeze
) are very different from how they looked in Super Powers (though Freeze would be re-released later with his Super Powers color scheme, and Penguin will be re-released in a more Super Powers-accurate version). Some characters who were redesigned for the Super Powers line (Parademon
, Mantis
, and Steppenwolf
) were released in two versions - a comic-accurate version and a Super Powers version. Even the characters Cyclotron
and Golden Pharaoh
- created specifically for the Super Powers line - were released in DC Universe Classics. Further, figures that were going to be produced later in the Super Powers line were created as part of DC Universe Classics (including characters from Super Friends
like El Dorado and the Wonder Twins
).
#133 launched a contest quite similar to one done by Marvel Legends for DC Universe Classics. Through an online vote, fans of DC Universe Classics were able to choose from a list of six characters to appear in a future wave: Catman
, The Huntress, The Question
, Ragman
, Starman
, and Vixen
. It was announced that the Question came out on top in the December 2008 issue of ToyFare. He appeared in the eleventh wave of Classics.
For its 2009 poll, the DC Universe brand managers and ToyFare staff picked another group of six characters for possible inclusion in the line: Captain Marvel, Jr., Geo-Force
, Libra
, Raven
, Toyman
, and Uncle Sam
. The winner by a large margin was Raven, who was released in the line's fifteenth wave.
The 2010 ToyFare poll differs from the previous two polls in that instead of choosing a regular figure from an upcoming wave, fans got to choose the Collect and Connect figure: Blockbuster, Girder, King Shark
, Nekron
, Shaggy Man
, and Wildebeest. The winner of this poll was Nekron, who will appear in the line's twentieth wave.
were skipped in favor of getting the second wave out as soon as possible. Some of the Batman figures are labeled "Crime Stopper," while others are dubbed "Classic Detective." It is unknown if this was a variant or a running change. Along the same lines, the first shipment of figures showed the classic Red Tornado on the back of the package, while the second shipments showed the modern incarnation.
The Collect and Connect figure for this wave is Metamorpho
, labeled "Rex Mason, the Element Man". Metamorpho includes snap-on accessories, including a giant right hand, a giant hammer for his left hand, and an extension for his right leg.

in his mid 1990s incarnation, complete with two guns.
The Collect and Connect for this wave is a mech version of Metallo
. According to the Four Horsemen's panel at Wizard World Philadelphia
, Metallo was originally sculpted to be part of DC Superheroes but was held back when Mattel was awarded the full license to the DC library. Metallo features a removable chest plate that reveals his Kryptonite
heart.
Following problems with distribution of this wave at retail, the wave was re-released exclusively on MattyCollector.com in June, 2010.

In celebration of DC Comics' 75th anniversary, each Classics and Infinite Heroes figure includes an anniversary button (75 buttons in all). Additionally, rather than featuring comic book art for only the characters appearing in a given wave, the packaging showcases numerous DC characters.

The first DC Universe Classics exclusive figure was announced at the 2008 New York Comic Con: Lobo. He was sold at the Mattel booth at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con, though some very limited quantities were offered on Mattel's online store. His inclusion in the line had been in question for quite some time, as DC Comics did not feel as though he was a character they would want in a mass market toy line, due to his persona in the comics.
Because of poor distribution when DC Universe Classics was still DC Superheroes, many fans were unable to obtain several of the figures offered. As a solution, Mattel released, exclusive to Toys "R" Us, two-packs that provided collectors with a way to purchase some of these older figures. In addition, the two-packs included new figures (Abin Sur and Lightray), and new versions of recent DC Universe Classics releases (Orion and Hal Jordan Green Lantern).
In conjunction with the 2008 San Diego Comic Con, Mattel launched a site featuring exclusive news as well as products that collectors can buy directly from Mattel. Though limited numbers of 2008 Comic Con exclusives were made available for order in late July, exclusives began in the first quarter of 2009 with two-packs of previously unreleased characters.
Shortly before the 2008 Christmas holiday, four pre-orders for previously unannounced two-packs appeared on various online toy store websites. They were proposed as exclusives to online retailers and Toys "R" Us. Two of the four two-packs were released in 2009; the third two-pack (featuring Lex Luthor and Supergirl) was delayed until 2010, while the fourth (featuring the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl) was not released.
The San Diego Comic Con exclusive for 2009 was a two-pack of the Super Friends
characters Zan and Jayna, better known as the Wonder Twins
. Available both at San Diego and on MattyCollector.com, the set comes with the aforementioned twins, along with a bucket featuring Zan in his water form and Jayna in the shape of an eagle. Gleek
, their pet monkey, was available for convention attendees only.
An exclusive five-pack was offered by Walmart stores in 2009. Four of the five figures (Superman, Batman, Two-Face
, and Catwoman
) are repaints of figures from the DC Superheroes and DC Universe Classics lines, while the fifth figure (Lex Luthor) is an all-new sculpt.
The delayed Kryptonite Chaos two-pack that was scheduled for 2009 was finally made available at retail alongside re-releases of the Green Lantern and Super Enemies two-packs from late 2008.
The following repaints were released exclusively to Toys "R" Us stores. A fifth figure featuring The Joker repainted in an Alex Ross inspired black tuxedo design was scheduled to be released as well, but was cancelled.
Combining two of Mattel's properties, these sets of figures focus on releasing Masters of the Universe
Classics figures at retail. The DC figures are straight re-releases of previously produced figures, while the Masters of the Universe Classics figures are repaints of the versions released on MattyCollector.com. The two-packs in the first series each come with an exclusive comic; two-packs in the second series each come with a mini-poster.
Four exclusive two-packs were released at Walmart in 2010. The first two sets are composed entirely of repaints and feature no new sculpting; the second two are straight re-releases.
On April 12, 2010 it was revealed on the G4
series Attack of the Show!
that the 2010 San Diego Comic Con exclusive would be Plastic Man
, with multiple attachments, one of which (Plastic Man in suitcase form) was only available for convention attendees. In addition, the Starro
exclusive for the DC Universe Infinite Heroes line came with a set of four Starro spores which are compatible with the 6" DC Universe Classics line. Like the Plastic Man suitcase, these spores were only available at the San Diego Comic Con.
Walmart's second exclusive five-pack features two brand new characters (Guy Gardner and Tomar-Re), as well as three repaints of existing figures (Hal Jordan Green Lantern, John Stewart, and Sinestro).
On the April 28, 2011 episode of Attack of the Show!, it was revealed that the 2011 San Diego Comic Con exclusive would be Swamp Thing
, a character that was previously off-limits because for a time it was not part of the mainstream DC Universe. A set of Un-Men
would also be sold as a convention-only exclusive.
Three more two-packs including a combination of DC Universe Classics and Masters of the Universe Classics figures are being released. The Bizarro Vs. Faker two-pack will also be available at San Diego Comic-Con.
Two two-packs are slated for release. The first two-pack re-releases Harley Quinn from Wave 2 and appears to include the cancelled All-Star Joker from 2010. The second two-pack re-releases both Black Adam from Wave 9 and Captain Marvel from Wave 6. Adam does not have the Beetle Necklace of Wave 9
Exclusive to MattyCollector.com will be a twelve-pack of the Legion of Super-Heroes
, the first time characters from this team will be released in the DC Universe Classics line. In addition to the twelve heroes listed below, the set will also include a Proty
accessory figure and die-cast Legion flight ring.
Exclusive to Wal-Mart will be a five-pack of members of the Crime Syndicate of America
, packaged with a combination of modern (Owlman, Superwoman, Ultraman) and classic (Johnny Quick, Power Ring) incarnations of the characters.
Much like their existing subscription service for Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel unveiled a subscription service for DC Universe Classics in 2011, intended to produce figures demanded by collectors. If enough subscriptions were purchased to make the service go forward, the plan is to release 9 monthly 6" figures, 3 quarterly oversized figures, and a club exclusive figure (all figures except the club exclusive will also be available on Mattel's website). The club exclusive will be an oversized figure chosen by fans in a poll on Mattel's website among the following four figures:
In September, Mattel revealed on their Facebook page that despite not reaching their subscriber goal, the club would still go forward. In order to offer the subscription, Mattel would raise the prices of figures for non-subscribers. They also revealed that the winner of the club exclusive poll was Metron.
Besides Metron, the first figures to be released through the club will be Atrocitus
, the Flash, Starman, and Poison Ivy.
, using slightly altered buck bodies with newly sculpted and animation-influenced heads. This series was released in two different waves. The first wave includes Batman (Black and Gray), Superman (Classic), Silver Banshee, and Icicle. The second wave includes Batman (Blue and Gray), Superman (Metallic), Major Force, and Black Lightning. The Collect and Connect figure for this wave is Brimstone.
will be made, using a similar approach to the previous Public Enemies line, with animated-style heads on DCUC-style bodies.
The first wave consists of modern interpretations of old and new characters. Each figure comes with a 3D Green Lantern mask to be used in conjunction with the website http://www.greenlanterngame.com. The Collect and Connect figure for this wave is Arkillo
.
One of the Red Lanterns featured in this wave (Nite-Lik) is an original design by the Four Horsemen who has been named by Geoff Johns
and will appear in future DC Comics titles. Also, a movie-inspired "preview" figure will be included in the assortment (G'Hu). The Collect and Connect figure for this wave is Stel
, in his modern form.
This set also includes a Green Lantern Battery colored in green and yellow to mimic the cover of a popular issue. Some of the attachement Constructs are Green and Yellow versions of Attachements cast for the Metal Men (Pick Axe and Buzz Saw of Gold, Ball and Chain and Wrench of Iron) while the others are the Machine Gun of John Stewart in a darker green, and the Mace from Hawkman now in yellow.
Note: The Arkham Asylum figures very slightly taller, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, than the other DCUC Batmans and Two-face. However the Batman Begins figures Prototype Suit Batman and Lt. Jim Gordon are made on the Movie Masters figure scale which has them about a "head" shorter than the other DCUC figures

Collect and Connect
Mattel emulated Toy Biz's Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure concept with the DC Universe Classics line, which featured "Collect and Connect" with five (and later, six) separate figures including pieces to build one of DC's larger characters. Variant versions of figures include the same piece as the regular version. Collect and Connect figures are at least 25% larger than the regular figures in the wave. Significantly larger characters (such as Chemo) will need to be reduced in size in order to be released in the line.Criticisms
Collectors said they had difficulty finding figures in many retail stores. For collectors, the issue was pronounced with the Walmart-exclusive fifth wave, which was underordered by the retail chain, but was later re-released and sold online at Mattel's website.

Figures
The first wave of figures were shown at San Diego Comic Con, while the second wave was shown at Wizard World Chicago. At the outset of the line, five figures were included in each wave (with variants included when possible), with five waves per year for five years. These plans were altered to increase the number of figures per wave to seven beginning with the seventh series, and to include retailer, convention, and online exclusives at various times throughout the year. Beginning with wave sixteen, the line was scaled back to six figures per wave (plus one variant).Wave One
Batman heads this first line of figures. The Penguin, Red Tornado, and Etrigan were originally intended to have variants, which were scrapped at different times.

San Diego Comic Con
The first DC Universe Classics exclusive figure was announced at the 2008 New York Comic Con: Lobo. He was sold at the Mattel booth at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con, though some very limited quantities were offered on Mattel's online store. His inclusion in the line had been in question for quite some time, as DC Comics did not feel as though he was a character they would want in a mass market toy line, due to his persona in the comics.
Toys "R" Us two-packs
Because of poor distribution when DC Universe Classics was still DC Superheroes, many fans were unable to obtain several of the figures offered. As a solution, Mattel released, exclusive to Toys "R" Us, two-packs that provided collectors with a way to purchase some of these older figures. In addition, the two-packs included new figures (Abin Sur and Lightray), and new versions of recent DC Universe Classics releases (Orion and Hal Jordan Green Lantern).

Club Infinite Earths
Much like their existing subscription service for Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel unveiled a subscription service for DC Universe Classics in 2011, intended to produce figures demanded by collectors.

The club exclusive will be an oversized figure chosen by fans in a poll on Mattel's website among the following four figures:
- Black Lantern Swamp Thing
