MattyCollector has announced the DC Universe Classics Fan Choice figure…..
And the winner is…RAVEN
My friends at ToyFare magazine ran a poll asking fans to help decide which character Mattel should add to the DC Universe Classics line.
Fans chose between Raven, Freddy Freeman, Toyman, Geo-Force, Libra, and Uncle Sam. Raven won by a landslide, so she joins DCUC Wave 15 in Winter 2010. To find out which competitor Raven beat by a two-to-one margin, pick up issue #148 on newsstands now!
DC Universe Fan Choice Announced
Yahoo!! Now that was a good choice! I was just thinking about whether or not they would make her in the line. Stoked!
Yeah, I wanted Raven too.
Oh my. What a surprise.
Didn't see that one coming. *rolls eyes*
Good luck finding it on the store shelves....
You never know, they could over-produce this one, since it's a Fan's Choice.
But yeah, not surprised Raven won. I knew she'd win the minute I saw she was on the list of choices.
Winter 2010? wtf? That's more than a year away. Aren't they on Wave 11 now? So only 4 waves in a little more than a year?
What?
Wave 10 JUST came out, some and some people still haven't seen Wave 9.
this SUCKS mattel just wanted to do Raven and not the otheres every one knows Raven would/did win
This is the biggest rigged election since-- Just kidding.
Seriously, though, this is total bull. Poll or not, they would have made a character this popular anyway. You want a real fan's choice poll? Have a list of obscure characters who AREN'T in cartoons that are still on the air and let them choose.
I have a feeling they'll just take a Batgirl body, repaint it, and give her a new head and cape.
Just look at the rest of DCUC. Standard bodies are re-used a lot. It means there's a consistent level of detail and articulation.
I'll be getting this figure. Hope they do the obligatory color variants too.
yeahi kinda voted for Libra... seemed like hed make for a neater figure, but then again im not into these characters per se
Wait, Caddyshack Bill Murray or Zombie Bill Murray?
But to add to what SL said, a lot of new molds are designed so that at least 2-3 characters can be done with minimal changes. So some of those redecos are planned from the word "Go".
Also, certain character designs are so similar to each other that if a mold is made for one, the others are a distinct possibility. Look at the TF Seekers and Cars for Transformers or most Joes/Cobras.
Redecos are just a fact of toy collecting.
Wave 10 JUST came out, some and some people still haven't seen Wave 9.
I kid I kid..not really
Glad to see Raven take the crown but I doubt I will find her.
But yeah, not surprised Raven won. I knew she'd win the minute I saw she was on the list of choices.
Wave 10 JUST came out, some and some people still haven't seen Wave 9.
Anyone want a Cyborg?
