So it appears Mattel has decided to "Tweek" its DC Universe All-Stars line up for both wave 1 and wave 2. This is probably a good thing. If you recall, wave was was initially suppose to include Larfleeze, Batman Beyond (DCUC wave 4 re-release), Superboy Prime and Plastic Man. I know, not too exciting.... Wave 2 consisted of the "New 52" JLA Superman and Flash, as well as Red Robin and a repainted Supergirl action figure.
Well, apparently there has been a change. Although no official announcement has been made by Mattel, judging by certain online toy stores, it now appears that your DC Universe All-Stars wave 1 line up will consist of the "New 52" JLA Superman AND BATMAN as well as Red Robin and Superboy Prime.
The addition of Batman and Superman to the Wave 1 line up is probably a good idea. Introducing a new toy line to the general public, you might wanna start with your strong characters.
Batman looks pretty cool. Appears to be a new head sculpt and a raised Batman symbol on his chest.
No word yet on what the re-vamped wave 2 set will look like. But stay tuned.
Also for those of you interested in Mattel's Infinite Earths Club, the following action figures will be released over the next few months:
May: Golden Age The Flash
June: Atrocitus (monthly figure) & Metron (club-exclusive)
July: Starman (monthly figure) & Rocket Red (club quarterly figure)
August: Mirror Master
September: Black Mask
One question - Where is Poison Ivy??

Bigger chest for batman goes very well. Also little darker blue shaded for superman look better.
