Young Justice DC Universe Classics

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 5:19 pm by Shin Densetsu under DC Toy News

TheFwoosh recently had a chance to talk with Derick Deller & Brian Sopinsky of Mattel, where they discussed upcoming Young Justice toys! The cartoon has created quite a buzz, and yes, there is something for us older collectors; Young Justice in DC Universe Classics! More info:

For the 6″ line, it was kind of a no-brainer to call on the services of the Four Horsemen. Like I said, continuity was the name of the game, so we wanted to put this part of our line in the hands of the geniuses that give us the DCU Classic line. The Horsemen have been able to deliver a product line-up that makes Young Justice look unique, but will also look great displayed next to DCUC.

Here’s what we can expect of Young Justice DCUC by the 4H:

TheFwoosh: For the 6 inch figures, you talked a little about accessories. Actually, you talked a little about a lot of accessories! What else can you tell us about this exciting idea of packing these guys with “the most across any of [our] DC Universe lines”?

Deller/Sopinsky: We added a lot of accessories to really play up on the whole “Mission” aspect of the show; giving each hero the right tools for the job. Each character has a lot of cool gadgets in the show, and we really wanted to celebrate that. Characters like Aqualad worked great for this, because he can pretty much create any type of weapon out of water with his Water Bearers; so this gives us the chance to give those awesome weapons to the fans.

TheFwoosh: So, to summarize, the 6 inch figures, we’re getting 4 Horsemen sculpts, DCUC compatibility, loads of accessories, and “hyper-articulation”? Any chance you could tell us a little more about that?

Deller/Sopinsky: You are correct for the most part, you will be getting 4 Horseman sculpts that will go seamlessly with your existing DCUC collection. Basically the 4 Horseman did their versions of the heroes and villains from the show, so imagine these characters brought to life in the world of the DCUC figures. Each character will not only come with a lot of accessories but a really cool display base/diorama based on different environments/ scenes from the show. They will have the same great articulation found in the DCUC figures.

So Young Justice and DC fans, you’re got something to rejoice about! Share your thoughts after the jump!

    I like the movie version better then all of them. Like a more realistic Ultimate Cap.

    I really hope these figures either come with regular shields in addition to the "gimmick" shields, or that the gimmick shields can be taken apart to give them "normal" shields somehow.

    I'm thinking that I'll replace the gimmick shields with the MU ones.

    What's great is that they re-used the SDCC ulitmate WW2 cap for this release. I can finally pose it!
    My question is the TBD figures are obviously movie specific but do we know what they might be?
    If they have ties to spoilers etc then i'm guessing/hoping we get a Pre-Serum Steve Rogers, maybe a Movie Bucky or an unmasked Movie Cap figure.

    More likely the TBD figures are going to be a Red Skull and a HYDRA Trooper.

    For some reason the movie toys always like to try to keep the bad guys "mysterious" as long as they can

    I like the US agent shield, screams fighting american, but otherwise I tend to agree on the shields. Lucky me though since all I'm getting is captain britain for now.

    Final Mission and the WWII versions are nice. The rest of these are clearly geared towards kids--which is good because Cap needs a little more appeal to the kiddos these days. He often gets short shrift next to Iron Man or Spider-man.

    WWII and Movie Cap are definite first day buys for me I just hope Red Skull is out then too

    FYI, this isn't a "comic series". There's a movie figure in that second wave.

    I'd just like to see Hasbro catering a bit less to the children with their Marvel figs, I feel like we make up more of their bottom line. (Or maybe that's just in the secondary market.) I remember first seeing these on shelves back in '09 and what I really dug was how they were just basic figures, with none of the obnoxious waist-twisting arm-flailing thumb in the back B.S. that sacrificed articulation and detail for gimmicks. Rather they featured decent artic and a character appropriate accessory or two. Why we have fist-sized red plastic bazookas with wings on the arms of our Captain America figures I'll never understand.

    I can still remember picking toys as a kid, and I never went for toys with "real-punching action!" or anything like that. I'd have picked Snake Eyes over anything else simply because the toy looked cool.
    I think Hasbor sell kids short by putting all these over-sized and dull accessories in with their toys. Surely a nine-year old boy is going to pick Crossbones over rocket-launcher cap because he looks rad?
    I think you can still market to kids and collectors, we share very similar mind-sets after all!

    Thing is, when you look at some of the most successful lines over the years, "action features" do indeed appear to be something kids like:

    Masters of the Universe virtually had a gimmick for every figure, at least after the first wave or two.

    Transformers has the gimmicks integrated into the figures in such a way that most collectors don't even consider them "gimmicks."

    Power Rangers - yes, I hear 80's nostalgia collectors scoffing but it's been one of the most successful lines of the past 20 years - is laden with action features.

    Don't get me wrong, like I said above, I'm hoping that these gimmick-shields can be stripped down or that they also come with "normal" shields, but the toy companies don't make these decisions in a vacuum or just for the heck of it. Somewhere along the way they did some research that tells them action features help them sell toys to kids. If they hadn't, they wouldn't bother.

    Also from my personal perspective, if the action feature is something independent of the character (like a spring-loaded launcher or those gimmick-swords that the Thor figures look to be coming with), then it doesn't bother me. Just toss it in a box (or throw it away completely) and be done with it. It's not like the toy companies would charge any less without it.

    Pretty much.
