News – Damian Wayne Robin Added to 2014 Club Infinite Earths!

Mattel just revealed on their Mattycollector Facebook page that the canceled Damian Wayne Robin figure would be in the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription for the DC Universe Signature Collection! This figure was originally slated for a retail release in the Batman Unlimited line, but both Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited have been cancelled, and with them some figures that fans were looking forward to. Damian Wayne was revealed earlier this year to much fan excitement, but when it was cancelled a lot of fans immediately started asking Mattel to include him in the subscription for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths. Well it looks like those people got their wish, because it’s happening.

To sign up for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths and keep the Mattel DC action figures coming, just CLICK HERE! You’re only charged for the sub exclusive figure and that’s it! Sign up period ends Monday!

News – DC Universe Signature Collection Club Infinite Earths Doomsday Preview Video

The DC Universe Signature Collection is set to be quite spectacular next year. The lineup for 2014 so far seems to be a hit amongst DC fans. We’re getting a ton of figures that have been fan demanded for almost as long as the DC Universe Classics line has been around, such as 90’s Hook Hand Aquaman, jeans & t-shirt Superboy, Ice, and a brand new large Doomsday action figure! Of course we can only get these if Mattel gets the minimum number of subscribers to Club Infinite Earths by August 19th. There are two goals to reach. The first one gets us a Doomsday figure in his containment suit, while the other gets us “Doomsday Unleashed”, in his most iconic look that fans know and love. Both figures are very large, and are sure to please everyone who has been wanting a larger Doomsday figure for their collection, ever since the original DC Superheroes Doomsday figure had been released. Scott Neitlich, AKA “Toyguru” has posted a preview video of the Doomsday figures up to give us a proper size comparison and a closer look at what we’re getting if we sign up for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription.

During the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, Mattel announced the 2014 Club Eternia subscription exclusive figure for Masters of the Universe Classics would be a character called The Unnamed One. The interesting (or frustrating, depending on who you talk to) thing about this figure is that nobody gets to know what it looks like until it arrives at peoples’ homes during the first quarter of next year. However, to whet peoples’ appetites for the character, Mattel has revealed some background information on the character known only as The Unnamed One.

10 DC Comics Characters too Obscure for Club Infinite Earths

I’ve always thought that the DC Universe Classics toy line had one of the most large and diverse character selections of any action figure line ever, excluding Minimates. Sure, there were a few variants of the big two sprinkled here and there, but it was mostly full of unique, sometimes wildly obscure characters (Omac? Jemm? Kamandi???). While that was fantastic for collectors, it seemed to ultimately be what drove sales down and sent the toy line into the online exclusive DC Universe Signature Collection through Club Infinite Earths on Mattycollector. When that toy line began, it was with the understanding that it would be the best avenue to get the most wanted, obscure characters out to collectors to help us flesh out our own DC universe. Still, I can’t help feeling that there are some areas of the DC Universe that Mattel will never get the chance to, or just doesn’t want to, touch.

So what I’ve done here is I’ve assembled what I consider to be the 10 most obscure DC comics characters that will most likely never get an action figure in Club Infinite Earths. My criteria for deciding these came down to researching forums to see which characters got suggested the least (or not at all), and which of them I would actually want to see made into action figures. I’ll even suggest possible accessories where applicable. And just so you know before reading, yes these are all 100% characters that I would buy figures of in a heartbeat. You might not agree that every character on this list deserves a figure, and that’s totally cool. But hopefully you at least get a kick out of the list assembled here, and maybe even learn something about some of the most obscure DC characters out there. So let’s start!

News – 2013 SDCC Exclusive DC Club Infinite Earths New 52 Shazam Figure Revealed

Continuing the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con reveals this week from Mattel, we now have the latest one: New 52 Shazam, for the DC Club Infinite Earths. This won’t be in the subscription at all, and will only be available for sale at 2013 San Diego Comic-con, and then later on Mattycollector.com. Well I have to say, this is a surprise. For those expecting Granny Goodness, a new Doomsday, or even Sgt. Rock, you might be disappointed in this reveal. For those excited about the New 52, this may be for you.

Review – Black Mask – DC Universe Signature Collection, Mattel

DC Signature Collection Club Infinite Earths Black Mask 6" Action Figure Mattel Batman

One of the surprises from the DC Signature Collection online subscription is the inclusion of the classic Batman villain Black Mask. Before signing up, we knew we were getting Poison Ivy, but we had no idea we’d be getting another Batman Rogue in the first year, let alone Black Mask. The reaction to him was definitely somewhat split. Many fans loved the way he looked, while others were disappointed that we weren’t getting the original look for Black Mask in figure form. While it certainly would have been cool to get an alternate head for him of his original look, complete with the fedora and Tommy gun, I’m actually happy with the version they decided on. It’s definitely more well known and has gotten more exposure as the look for Black Mask, so it’s easy to see why they picked it. So now that he’s been released, join me as I take a closer look at the DC Signature Collection Black Mask action figure.

Review – Poison Ivy – DC Universe Signature Collection, Mattel

DC Signature Collection Club Infinite Earths Poison Ivy 6" Action Figure Mattel Batman

When Mattel first announced the DC: Club Infinite Earths online subscription program, the big incentive to get people to sign up for it was the promise of a DC Universe Classics Poison Ivy action figure. She was one of the most fan demanded figures in the entire line, and Mattel never did get to her, until the Club idea came up. I don’t know how responsible Poison Ivy was in getting it to happen, but the Club did get its minimum number of subscribers, and true to their word, Mattel released a Poison Ivy 6″ action figure this past October. Join me as I take a closer look at the DC Signature Collection Poison Ivy action figure and determine whether or not she’s worthy to join the rest of Batman’s Rogues Gallery.

NYCC 2012 – Mattel DC Red Hood, Captain Marvel Jr., and Silk Spectre Revealed

New York Comic-Con Mattel DC Signature Collection Club Infinite Earths Captain Marvel and Red Hood RevealsThanks to VEEBEE over on The Fwoosh for the scoop. This morning over at the Mattel booth, they had some new figures on display that DC fans would love. For the DC Signature Collection (or Club Infinite Earths if you prefer) they revealed two long awaited characters: Captain Marvel Jr. and the Red Hood. Fans have been waiting to complete the Marvel family ever since Captain Marvel was released in DC Universe Classics. Red Hood has been another demanded figure, though a lot of fans may not be in tune with the particular version they’re releasing. There’s been a lot of clamor for a Jason Todd Red Hood figure, in his biker jacket and helmet. Mattel is indeed releasing a Jason Todd Red Hood, but it’s from the Grant Morrison era where he was wearing the classic style hood with a more garish getup.

Also revealed for the Watchmen Club Black Freighter subscription is Silk Spectre! Everybody knows what characters will be appearing in the Watchmen line, but of course Mattel is spreading out the reveals, because we’re still not sure exactly how Mattel will translate them into figures. But so far, so good.
