Yeah, hasn't that Metallo appeared in the comics before? I don't know what issue this pic is from, but it looks like the Horsemen used this design:

Anyway, yeah, I quite like this line too.

I love the Metallo. I almost bought the Public Enemies DCD version, but this version will be worth every penny to build or buy.

[...] The DC Universe Classics identity crisis. “Is it a nostalgia line, geared toward collectors who fondly remember the days of Super Powers and George Perez, or is it a ‘regular’ contemporary superhero action figure line?” [...]

In the modern comics (i.e., after 1986), Metallo rarely had the same look twice. Sometimes he was a hulking robot like the upcoming figure or sometimes he was a bit more human-sized like in the first batch of DC Direct Superman-Batman. There is no iconic look for Metallo.

I want Mattel to produce a Golden Pharoah just so I can listen to the fanboys bitch about it.

I personally like the idea of mixing things up visually with the figures. Some inspired by the comics, some from various animated series, and some from the minds of the Four Horsemen. It is like the action figure version of potpourri.

I hate when fans whine about figure choices. It is very clear to me that DCUC is a mixture of all DC characters and styles. Of course there will be figures included that individuals don't like, they aren't making action figures based upon the demands of individual collectors, rather they are picking and choosing a wide variety. Who the hell thought they'd make a Demon figure? I mean really!

Nice article poe.
