Both:
They are actually MUCH cooler in person that I thought they would be. Pictures do not do these 2 figures justice in my opinion. They are both very cool. I am glad we finally got some Red Lanterns in DCUC form.
And lastly...RED LANTERN MAASH
lol

I got these Green Lantern Classics Wave 2 Red Lantern figures from a friend. He keeps his source a secret, so I have no idea where he got them, but he hooked me up with them for retail price, which is pretty good in my opinion. Anyways, here are alot of pictures I took of them. Enjoy!

Thirty-seven bucks and change for this huge waste! Yeah. The Buyer's Remorse is definitely settling in! For those thirty seven bucks you get...
1. A shiny Hal Jordan that no one asked for and no one wants. This thing will get chucked to the back of a shelf where I'll forget I own it within about ten minutes.
2. A bunch of junky repainted accessories. I'm surprised Mattel didn't paint He-Man's sword yellow and throw it in.
3. An apology Sinestro that they should've gotten right the first time!
Overall, I really, really wanted a good Sinestro, but even so, I couldn't recommend this set. Definitely not a good buy for your money.
I didn't see this post before. Alot of people are saying this Hal Jordan is there go to figure for Hal Jordan now, so you can't really say no one wants him. Also, the constructs are not "junky" repainted accessories. They look alot different with the see through yellow and green. I am just glad they finally fixed Sinestro like they said they would. This 2 Pack is definately my favorite out of all the DCUC 2 Packs.

I am sooooo excited about the Blackest Night Wave 17 aka the rainbow lantern wave. This is really a bold move by Mattel to make a wave like that. There are alot of people saying they hate it and won't buy it, but I am sure it will be more popular than people think. Alot of people said that the Sinestro Corps Batman was a terrible idea and would not sell, but now I am seeing that figure in almost every picture someone posts of thier GL Corps/Sinestro Corps set up.
I think a Super Friends wave would be great also. I don't know if its a good idea to have it RIGHT after the rainbow lantern wave. Either way, I think Mattel knows what they are doing, even if everyone thinks they are losing thier touch.

I found this set at a TRU in Kennesaw, GA. This is definately my FAVORITE 2 Pack ever made for DCUC!

It sucks for the people who spent over $200 on Ebay, just for BBTS to have this GLC Wave 1 a week later for $90. I got my entire set from BBTS right when they put them up for sale. I am loving this series. I can't wait for Wave 2 to come out, and I can't wait for Wave 3 to be announced!

Actually there's a WM in this area that has DCUC at $5 and has been that way for about a year now. Without too much detail I haven't paid more that $5 for the last 4 waves...
A Wal Mart that I go to did this as well. They put ALL DCUC on clearance for $6 right before Wave 11, and they never put the price back up, even to this day. I have gotten some nice finds there for $6. Its about a 20 minute drive, but worth it if I can get an entire wave at $6 each.
-
What figures besides the Gold Capt Atom are being found? I have not found anything past the Deathstroke wave. Has anyone else found any new figures besides Gold Capt Atom?
-
Waves of 2010 including SDCC 2010, GLC 1, and Sinestro
Is that a Conner Kent custom figure behind Guy Gardner?? If so, nice!
And Merry Christmas to me!

If you just start collecting something random for the sake of collecting, you will look back in about a year and be like, "Wow, what a waste of money". Trust me, I have had friends do the same thing you are doing and they end up wishing they had the $1000 or so back instead of a line they really care nothing about.
With that being said, I say stick to your guns and keep going with the DC Universe, or wait for ML to release more. And if you absolutely HAVE to start collecting a different line, I say go Marvel Select. They are amazing. The Marvel Universe is also a good line. Just don't go for the Minimates lol.

Doesn't toynewsi have a checklist?
Step 1. Go to the banner at the top of this website. Click on "Marvel"
Step 2. Look at the left side of the screen. Click on "Database"
Step 3. Click on "Iron Man"
Step 4. Click on "Iron Man" (as opposed to Iron Man 2)
Step 5. Scroll down and look at all the pretty pictures of the different waves. Click on those that amuse or interest you.
Thanks. I checked this out and saw that they do not have a full list. I am looking for a list with all of the variants such as the gold Mark 1, blue Iron Monger, etc. They are also missing alot of regular figures that are not variants, such as the Heavy Artillary armor and a few others.
There were so many rare figures, it seems a complete checklist does not exist.
-
... Like from the first movie ?.. Cause for the second there is only 3
Um, in my original post at the top it says in the first post that I am looking for the checklist for the first movie, so yes, from the first movie. And for the 2nd movie, there are actually 6 if you include the TRU 3 pack of re-paints.
-
I am looking for a checklist of all of the 6 inch figures from the first Iron Man movie. If anyone has a checklist of these, please post a link, or post the checklist itself. Thanks!

I am glad you got the naked Cheetah Harry! As far as your Darkseid body goes, I have built two Darkseid's and both bodys came without the neck peg. The peg for that came with Darkseid's head and stuck down in the body for both of mine. I am not sure if some people's were different, but that is how both of the ones I built were.

Nudie Cheetah will probably be Gentleman Ghost or Eradicator rare. I don't think it'll be thought of as cancelled Power Man or Psylocke rare. And I'm still waiting for whatever they wound up sending me. They've been shipped, but they hold them in limbo for days if you choose teh free shipping, and that sucks. The only thing I don't like about your comments is, you say things, but you're vague about it. You don't say whether or not you ordered the $14.99 version or ordered after they were sold out.
Me and my friends all ordered the $14.99 "Styles May Vary" Cheetah FROM Amazon. We all ordered from the same computer, one after the next. Out of all of us, I was the only one to get the animal skin Cheetah. This was after Amazon had sold out and then had them back up. I was not trying to be vague, sorry about that. I hope you get the animal skin version as well. I might end up with a couple sealed, so if that happens, I could get one to you if Amazon did not get that one to you.
Also, I was thinking it would be about as rare as Gentleman Ghost, but GG was actually sold at retail, so its hard to compare even though I definately would say thats how it will be probably. I could be wrong though, and it could be everywhere in a month, no one really knows really.
Lastly, as far as Amazon goes, ordering from them directly has always been fine, but 90% of the time that I have ordered from a third party just selling through Amazon, everything about the item I order sucks. The packages always look like someone ran over them with a truck. Its just sad really. So, if you ever order from Amazon, I would recommend only ordering from them, not a third party selling through them.

Why won't you just admit your info was wrong or you idea is not looking like it is. I mean come on, if I say something that turns out to be untrue I will admit it!! Amazon had them as of Monday night still. Everyone that ordered from the last stock from Amazon has gotten the naked Cheetah!! EVERYONE that is getting them that is posting here or elsewhere is Naked! You have to buy the one that said direct from amazon themselves and styles may vary. The first batch they had was all black modern ones, this time its been all naked. Not a personal attack. I just don't get why you want to try and find any reason for it not to be true and that its going to be ubber rare or something.
Draven
I know its not a personal attack, and I know now what you mean about Amazon. The info that CSC accidently got them is completely true. Amazon also accidently got them. No one knows any truth about these besides that, and what I was originally saying was just what I heard. Nothing more. Also, a few of my friends ordered the "Styles May Vary" Cheetah from Amazon, and I ordered it right at the same time they did, and I was the only one who got the aminal skin Cheetah, and we all ordered actually FROM Amazon themselves, not a third party selling on Amazon. It is 100% fact that this figure will end up being rare, and maybe not super rare, but rare. With that being said, all I am really saying is, if you want this figure and have a chance to get it, you should snag it because you may not have alot of chances. Not trying to say you are wrong by any means Draven.

I found Harvey Dent, Two Face, and Survival Suit Batman at TRU today and got them for $4.98 each! This is a great pick up. Yesterday, I picked up the Night Vision Batman and Scarecrow for $4.98 also, so I have had a good haul lately as far as MM Dark Knight figures go.
Today's haul:
-
I checked Amazon and could not find anyone showing a picture of the naked Cheetah. Either way, the ones that were on Amazon were probably a comic shop that got an accidental case just like CSC did, who knows really. The reason I say what I say about it is because Mattel has said nothing about this situation. They said they had "plans" in the future for the animal skin Cheetah, but they said the same thing about an all gold Dr. Fate and other figures, and that never happened. Its obvious that no business can order them from Mattel, otherwise BBTS and other online stores would have them too. The ones on Amazon were either being sold by someone who got them from CSC, OR the people selling them on Amazon got an accidental case just like CSC did.
You guys are talking about the Wave 13 pictures showing this Cheetah on MattyCollector, but it says in the description for the Wave 13 set "identical to figures sold at retail". It would not say this if the Cheetah was going to be different than retail. It would actually explain that ordering from them would get you THAT Cheetah if that were the situation. Think about it, they would make ALOT more money if they said that, with it not being at retail, and they are in it to make money, so if that were the case, it would say that and not "identical to figures sold at retail".
I see where you guys are coming from, and I hope they turn up everywhere as well, but the situation being what it is with only ONE online store selling them, you have to admit its strange, and since Mattel is saying NOTHING about this, it COULD be the only time we ever see it. It also could be everywhere before too long, but I highly doubt this is a running change. I don't see why they would change it once for retail, then change it again.

Found it on eBay for sale with the full set from CSC. Figured why not and purchased the set
Yeah, CSC has these for sale. No one else has gotten them
I asked a source about this situation, and I was told this is what happened: Mattel produced a few cases of these figures and then had to change it to the black suited version. They had the cases in the warehouse and they accidently got sent out to CSC. The cases they sent CSC were the ONLY cases of the "Animal Skin" Cheetah. It will never be sold at retail or sold at any other retailer. The reason CSC sold them for $30 is because it was a mistake that they even got them and they wanted to make up for not getting BOTH variant and non variant other Cheetahs, so they sold them for $30 each. They were not looking to screw anyone over on the price, so they sold them at a reasonable price.
If you are a collector of DCUC and you want this figure, I suggest you jump on the opportunity to get it now on the CSC website or on Ebay, because you may not have another chance to ever get it.
This figure could turn out to be the rarest DCUC figure ever made.
Sorry not buying it. Not saying you were not told that, but a friend of mine has got the nakid chettah and the date stamp on it is much later than the classic and modern one he has that has clothing painted on. Way to many of these made it to CSC for it to be a mistake.
Draven
The guy who told me this is actually on Mattel's payroll, so I figured he might know what he is talking about. Either way, we might not ever see it again, anywhere else, and we might see it at many more places in the future, no one really knows. All I am saying is, if you want this figure, now may be the only time you can get it.
I highly doubt its a running change, because why would they stop production to change it to the black suit version JUST to change it back less than a month after the wave is released? I agree that way too many definately made it to CSC for it to be a mistake, but I don't understand why we have not seen it anywhere else, or at LEAST heard of it. There are lots of rumors going around, so it would be best if Mattel came out and said something about this.

They will be the exact same as the retail figures. However, Corner Store Comics got in an entire shipment of the nekid Cheetah, and Mattel said to just keep them and sell them, so they did. They are now sold out. That figure will definately be the hardest to get in the entire DC Universe Classics collection because only 1 shipment went out, and most will be opened probably.

I'm just going straight for two Keldor's next month and that's it (one to be displayed as normal, and the other one to be displayed with Skeletor's head). **** She-Ra and Faker, I'll wait for their re-issues, and if they aren't re-issued, no problem.
Faker IS the re-release next month, so there will not be another re-issue of him. She-Ra, Keldor, and Count Marzo are new.
As far as ordering Tytus goes, I got 2 of him and 2 of Optikk RIGHT at 12:07. Less than 30 seconds later, Tytus was SOLD OUT. It was pure luck really. I honestly think I may have gotten the last 2 lol.
I am VERY surprised that Optilkk lasted as long as he did. Moss Man (flocked and unflocked) and Evil Lyn both lasted all of 3 minutes, so I figured Optikk would be the same. Even though some people don't want him because he is not as popular as some characters, he is definately up there with my other favorite figures. I just like the whole idea of him in general as a figure.
Lastly, I am VERY excited about next month. I am looking forward to Keldor the most, but She Ra and Count Marzo will also be very nice grabs, along with DCUC Wave 5 and JLU Lobo.

They are supposed to hit around April. I think the Red Lanterns are very nice.
