Club Infinite Earths – a DCUC subscription?

Late post tonight–I received a tip from Poester The Belligerent Monkey who noticed Mattel had posted (intentionally or otherwise) a page on Mattycollector about a potential DCUC subscription. Now, I say “potential” because apparently this is going to be like a massive Groupon deal–if there aren’t enough subscriptions, it doesn’t happen.

Text of the club offer after the jump.

How Club Infinite Earths Will Work

  • Purchase a membership to Club Infinite Earths for $30 and, should the club go forward, you’re guaranteed to receive all of the official club figures released during the year. There will be 9 monthly 6″ figures and 3 “oversized” figures (one shipped approximately each quarter). You’ll also receive the club-exclusive for 2012, to be revealed following the close of voting in our poll.
  • Every month starting approximately April 2012, you’ll be automatically shipped the Club Infinite Earths figure. About every quarter, you’ll also be shipped an “oversized” figure. You’ll be billed as figures ship. Figures revealed to date are NAME and NAME.
  • Figures will begin shipping approximately two (2) business days prior to the official on-sale date.
  • Exact figures will be announced approximately one to two months before each on-sale date.
  • The special club-exclusive figure will be shipped sometime around the second quarter of the year. The figure is included in the cost of the membership ($30), however applicable shipping and taxes/fees will be charged at the time of shipment.
  • Special convention items, reissues, weapons packs, stands and other accessories are not included. Mattel reserves the right to offer those and any other DC Universeitems, and reissue non-subscription items. Subscriptions will not include any additional items beyond those listed here.
  • All figures EXCEPT the club-exclusive figure will also be available at MattyCollector.com around the 15th of the on-sale month without the membership. You will have the option to buy additional figures, but availability isn’t guaranteed and the purchase limit is ten (10) per person.
  • The only way to purchase the club-exclusive figure through Mattel will be to buy a membership to Club Infinite Earths! This item will not be sold separately on MattyCollector.com.
  • For 2012, subscriptions are available for DC Universe,Ghostbusters™Masters of the Universe Classics andVoltron®. You may buy as many subscriptions of any kind and in any combination you like and they’ll all ship together when purchased in the same transaction!

    Looks like it has been taken down.

  2. Dead Man Walking

    Not interested in the sub, but I have my fingers crossed for a Warlord.

  3. Nicholai

    This could be huge depending on who they announce. If they go with characters that are conspicuously missing right now like several more Metal Men, Jay Garrick, and an "oversized" Elasti-Girl I'd totally be in for this and would be disappointed if not enough people joined up.

  4. Ares6009

    Hmm… Way I see it, I'm probably going to order them anyway, so might as well cut down on stress from trying to get it done at work. Sounds like I might even go in for the MOTUC one too. Here's to hoping!

  5. I'm…cautiously optimistic. I have to say my luck has ALWAYS been worse with DC Direct figures breaking than DCUC. And breakage doesn't seem to be an issue with their MOTUC stuff, at least that I"ve heard of (I admit not following closely).

    I'm excited that this could get us access to characters like Ralph Dibny maybe? I'm also curious about the charging structure. 5 days before release–does that make it the 10th of each month?

  6. FakeEyes22

    I don't know about this.

    I've just about earned a PhD in DCUC corrective surgery. I'm not sure I need to pay for more patients to come knocking at my door once a month in addition to the sickly gangs I've been finding at retail lately.

    Come to think of it, I may be leaning more towards a hell no depending on the new tooling/accessory situation with these. $15 + Shipping for a figure that stands around mocking me with just a new head is pretty weak. This is a case where I'd really want to see the whole lineup first.

    The 3 large figures are awfully enticing though. I'll bet one is a Giganta redeco, just waiting to piss me off with that evasive head of hers.
