DC Universe Classics - Green Lantern's Light 5 Pack

With the big anticipation of the new Green Lantern movie coming in 2011, it looks like Mattel and DC have decided to contribute to the hype via the action figure route with plans to release a spin off wave from the DC Universe Classics series called Green Lantern Classics. Unfortunately the first wave will not be released until Q1 2011. For those Green Lantern and DC fans that just can't wait, Mattel has decided to give us a new Wal-Mart exclusive 5 pack called Green Lantern's Light.

So lets take a look at who is included in this set.

First we have Tomar-Re.

A repaint version of DCUC Wave 11's John Stewart. Don't expect to get as any of the accessories in this pack that were included with the wave 11 version.

The most original figure of the group, Guy Gardner.

An interesting version of Sinestro. The big complaint about DCUC wave 3 Sinestro was that he was so short. Mattel has decided to give Sinestro the larger body sculpt in this set.

And finally, what would a Green Lantern set be without Hal Jordan. This version is the exact same as the DCUC wave 3 Hal Jordan with the excepetion of the white coloring in his hair.

Here's a look at the packaging for those of you who like to keep their action figures packed up. Similar to the Gotham City 5 pack which came out last yar.

and from the back:

Very nice! Also as you will notice, the 5 pack also inclues 5 lantern accessories.

For those of you that cannot find this fine 5 pack at your local wal-mart, ebay is the best solution. You can find sellers offering the entire pack and even some offering loose figures for those of you looking to just buy one or two of these bad boys.

Yay! I Cracked the Top Ten!

According to Craft Count statistics I finally placed in the TOP TEN TOY SELLERS on Etsy. Lets face it I may never be at the top for handmade but its pretty exciting being at the top in my category. Thanks to all the wonderful buyers who have placed Fantastic Toys in the top ten!

Heres a snapshot of the top 15. Check your stats for your category here.

Kawaii Fabric Design Available at Spoonflower

FYI, Spoonflower now has a feature which allows you to purchase fabric that other indie crafters have designed. For each fat quarter or yardage sold the artist receives 10% of the sale price. Its optional of course. If you design some fabric you don't have to have it available for sale to the public. I now have two kawaii designs available at Spoonflower which can be purchased at my profile. I have some more ideas which I hope to have available as well.

If you've been on the fence about giving Spoonflower a try, now is the time. For one day only they're have a Free Swatch Day. In the past I have used this offer to purchase a color chart swatch which has been invaluable when creating new fabric designs. You can also use this offer to get a swatch of not only your design but designs offered by others too.

DC Universe Classics : Wave 15 Preview

Welcome back to Action Toy Review. If you missed my previous post, I previewed Mattel's DC Universe Classics Wave 14 so lets follow that trend and go ahead and look at the upcoming DC Universe Classics wave 15 set.

There are 7 figures in wave 15 with 2 figures that have variants. So lets take a look see.

For those of you who can't get enough variations of Batman action figures, myself included, here is another Batman in the Sinestro Corps outfit:

He looks pissed!!

Next up is Starman who comes in a classic and modern variant:

Super Powers character, Golden Pharaoh:

OMAC:

Voted by the fans, Raven:

The Son of Saturn, Jemm:

and finally, Martian Manhunter with 2 versions. Same body for both, just a different head:

And finally, your Collect and Connect figure is Validas:

So that's it for wave 15. Personally, I'm all about the Batman figures. Sinestro Corps Batman has a different head sculpt but not so sure I would get it. Perhaps if i can find it for a lower cost. Raven and Martian Manhunter are of great interest to me and Jemm is pretty cool but the other figures i will put under my "meh" list. Validas looks like a cool C&C figure but not enough for me to go out and scoop up this entire wave. If I can find the others at a cheaper cost, then maybe.

Action Toy Review would love to hear your thoughts about DCUC wave 15. Check out the polls on the left hand side menu or simply leave a comment on what you think of Mattel latest line up.

As the time of this post, DCUC wave 15 is not yet available for purchase but if you're looking to buy any of the DC Universe Classics action figures from previous waves, your best choice for selection, is ebay. To purchase Mattel's DC Universe Classics on ebay, click here
