DCUC Wave 5 returns on Mattycollector May 17th
Sweet zombie Jesus! The word from Mattycollector:
DCU Fans,
Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!
This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, [...]

MOTU vs. DC 2-packs up (and gone) on Toysrus.com
TRU’s website briefly had both MOTU vs. DC 2-packs available on their website. They might come back in stock, so here are the links for future reference:
Superman vs. He-Man
Luthor vs. Skeletor
Note that the site uses incorrect, older stock images–in the actual sets Skeletor comes with a yellow sword, and Luthor does not have his gun.

1.) If the DC vs. MOTU packs sell well at Toys ‘R Us, would Mattel consider introducing more MOTUC product at retail?
At this point, at least in 2010, the MOTUC vs. DCUC two-packs will be the only way to find MOTU at retail.
2.) Given the immediate success of a larger MOTU item like Battle Cat, [...]
Review > Eclipso (DC Universe Classics)
Eclipso made his debut in House of Secrets #61 in 1963. Over the years he has caused trouble for none other than Batman, The Outsiders, and The Metal Men. In the ’90s, Eclipso was retconned as his own character with ties to The Spectre as an embodiment of the wrath of God pursuing revenge. Finally, [...]
Review > The Spectre (DC Universe Classics)
Like many of DC Comics‘ most iconic characters, The Spectre received his first story during the Golden Age of comics way back in 1940 in More Fun Comics #55. The Spectre was a hero that one could not help but root for, a slain police officer who returns as the Wrath (or the Voice) of [...]
Review > Iron (DC Universe Classics)
The Metal Men were created as a last minute filler feature and proved to be popular enough on their own right to get their own title. Each of the Metal Men, artificially intelligent robots, inherited their traits and abilities from their namesake metals, so whereas Iron is super strong, Lead is slow-witted and can block [...]
Toy Aisle Trolls > Man or Superman?
OK, this one’s just weird.
Ask Mattel > March 1 Answers
1.) Extremely nerdy question: Now that we’re getting a He-Man/Superman 2-pack at retail, does that mean the events of DC Comics Presents #47 are canon in the MOTUC universe–or is this a “What If?” scenario?
There actually isn’t an official 100% canon for MOTU. Each tale, whether told in a movie, TV series, comic book, toy [...]
Guest Review > The Question (DC Universe Classics, Mattel)
Sometime between when Wave 8 and 9 of DCUC never really showed up on shelves in my area, and Wave 10 scarcely made its presence known before leaving a sea of Powergirls warming pegs like Cyborgs and Captain Colds before her, I decided that I would be cherry picking DCUC from thereon in, sticking with [...]
