First we have the new Superman supporting his red belt and trunkless tights. Not a big fan of the head sculpt. I think the DC Direct DCNU Superman head looks better. I could be wrong but the "S" symbol appears to be raised but other than that, the body sculpt looks pretty much like the previous DC Universe Classics Superman (right)
Next up we're getting the Flash. Hmmmm....two main Justice League members in the same wave? Unheard of in the DCUC waves. Okay, well as you can see the main differences between the new DCU All-Stars Flash and the DCUC Flash are his boots and the lightning bolts across his forearms and waist. Again, his chest symbol looks to be raised in the DCNU version. Those seem to be the only differences here. The head sculpts look almost identical.
The next DC Universe All-Star action figure is Supergirl (left) which is a complete repaint of the DC Superheroes Supergirl (right) that came out in 2007 and then again in a two pack with Lex Luthor in the DC Universe Classics toy line.
And the final DC Universe Classics All-Star action figure is the only real original of the bunch, Red Robin. A pretty good likeness. The head sculpt looks like Batman without the horns.
So there you have it, you can expect to see these toys in stores, online and at your local Target, Wal-mart, etc, early in 2012. Also, Mattel will soon be announcing the next Batman Legacy 2 packs so as soon as that news breaks, I'll post it.

Red Robin is a must and I'll grab that Supes for my alternate Supes/Bats collection.
I'll pass on the others but when will we ever get Wally as Flash?
I waited 21 waves for a dcuc red robin...now I get one and it looks like some middle aged man?! Extremely disappointing. Shame on Mattel..and the 4 horsemen for being simply lazy and out of touch with the fans on this one.
