DC Universe Classics - Wave 17 Preview

The much rumored line up for Mattel's DC Universe Classics wave 17 set has now been confirmed.  Darkest Night fans will probably be happy to here it is going to be the rainbow Lantern set. 

The first action figure is Indigo Lantern, Atom


Next, Black Lantern Hal Jordan.  Looks like a cool head sculpt.



Another Hal Jordan, this time a White Lantern.  At least they're changing up the facial expressions.


Next up is Blue Lantern, Flash


Next is Star Sapphire, Wonder Woman.


A transparent Orange Lantern Lex Luthor


And finally a Sinestro Corps Scarecrow. 


And the Collect and Connect action figure for Wave 17 will be Anti-Monitor.


And that's the DC Universe Classics wave 17 line up.  My first impressions are.....why is this wave not part of the newly launched spin off Green Lantern toy line instead of the DCUC toy line???? Also, I would've much preferred a regular Scarecrow instead of a Sinestro Corps version.  The Lex looks cool as does Blue Flash but I can't say I'm foaming at the mouth for this set.  You will probably find this set available towards the 2nd quarter of 2011. 


***Possible Spoiler Alert***
Unconfirmed rumors of the DC Universe Classics Wave 18's line up point to it consisting mainly of characters from the old Super Friends cartoon.  It is being dubbed the Super Friends Diversity wave on the Internet and consists of characters such as El Dorado, Black Vulcan, Samurai, a new Bizarro with interchangeable hands and head to switch to Superman (what about the chest piece?).  Metallo, Manhunter round out the line up with the Collect and Connect figure will be Apache Chief.  Again, this is just a rumored line up.  All i have to say about this is, I truly hope it is only a rumor.  I have no interest in any of the ethnic Super Friends even though i loved the show, they were by far the worst part of it.

  3. Thanks for the info Glenn. No I didn't see that post on toy buzz. I hope toyman is in wave 18. I'll be surprised if we get yet another flash and atom figure in wave 19 after both characters were just in wave 17 but I guess it could happen.

  4. What I read implied that wave 19 will JSA themed. Flash should be Jay Garrick and Atom would be some version of Al Pratt.
    Been waiting for Jay for a long time.

  5. In Wave 17 I got The Atom, and the right arm has the left hand on it. Have you seen this before? Should I get another Atom to get the right configuration?
