At first this article was going to be about the DCU Classic series Superman and Brainiac Two-Pack. This is a great figure pack and the DCU Classics series is still my current favorite action figure line and blah, blah, blah. Instead I’d like to write about Mattel’s questionable business practice when it comes to releasing their action figures. Because of their company practice they make it extremely hard to get their product. Inside Mattel, there is a sub-division called Matty Collector. Through this Matty Collector line...

The guys over at Mattel have a huge man-crush on Jack Kirby and that’s OK with me. The Parademon is the sixth figure in the DCU Classics line from the Fourth World. He joins Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, Orion, Lightray, and the truly outstanding collect and connect figure Kalibak from series six. With Mantis confirmed for series nine and Forager rumored for series 10, Mattel seems committed to completing Jack Kirby’s Fourth World. Package Description: Of the many warriors serving Darkseid, Lord and absolute master of the planet...

I sure do love my action figures- one of my favorite parts of writing for this site is being able to do Figure Friday. However, I hate it when mega-stores get exclusive figures, such as the new DC Universe Classics wave 10 that are only at Walmart. After a long wait, Wave 10 has officially shown up in the Walmart computer system. If you want to get your hands on some here are the ISBN numbers: …

One of my favorite DC Comic characters is Batman. I used to watch the 1970’s cartoon (yeah, the one with Bat-Mite!) when I was only a few months old back in the 70’s, before Michael Jackson was walking around touching kids in funny ways. Oh shit was that to soon? Eep. So you want to take a guess at what figure we’re going to take a look at for this week’s Figure Friday ? That’s right- Batman from DC Universe Classics series 1! Package Description: After witnessing the murder of his parents as a child,...

So did you enjoy Captain America # 600?  Did you read my  review. Well  it  looks like  people are buying into  the hype! Marvel has just sent out  this press release about  Captain America #600 going back to the printer for a 2nd go around. Official Press Release: This week, there’s no bigger super hero than Captain America and mainstream media frenzy caused Captain America #600 to sell out immediately (though copies may be available at the retail level). To meet this overwhelming demand, Marvel is going back to press...

What is rapidly becoming my favorite toy line of all time, the DCU Classics collection, has a glaring weakness. They have yet to get Superman right and they’ve had four tries. This time they gave him a mullet. Really, Mattel and DC? That’s how you want your flagship character to be seen? You guys want to depict him with the worst haircut in the history of western civilization? Good call. Package Description: When the menace known as Doomsday came to Earth, it fell to Superman to battle him to a standstill…and the death!...

Now let’s have a look the fastest man alive! Package Description As Barry Allen went about his business in the police crime lab, and electrical storm broke over Central City. Soon the lab exploded with a blinding bolt of lightning, bathing Barry in the supercharged fluids. This random combination of chemicals turned Barry into the fastest man alive!...

So it is Friday and it is time for one of my favorite parts of doing this site. It is time for a new Figure Friday and this week we are going to take a look at Harley Quinn from the DC Universe Package Description An Arkham Asylum psychiatrist assigned to treat the Joker, Dr. Harleen Quinzel was instead driven mad by the Clown Prince of Crime and helped him escape.

I never got into the minimates my self but I know there a lot people out there who enjoy them. Are you one of them ? Simon Daoudi Simon@comicimpact.com

At Comic Impact, we sure do love our action figures. As a big Batman fan myself, I always try to get my hands on a Batman figure from different lines whenever I see a new one. For some time now I’ve been anxiously awaiting the day I would walk into a store and see the Batman The Brave and The Bold figures gleaming on the shelves. I had been seeing these figures online and was in love with the packaging design; and last night, almost like serendipity, check out what Comic Girl and I found at Target! The guy at Target told...

So I was just checking my Facebook before  I was going to bed I saw that Matty Mattel had post this on his Facebook page. “Wanted to give all the number crunchers a good look at what we can expect from JLU by the numbers in 2009.
