Collection 1: Heroes of the DC Universe
Now, this IS Hasbro so there WILL be some old molds and repaints sneaking into the
mix, but this may be a blessing for some fans that were never able to find some of
these rare pieces, or didn't care for the original paint schemes. Expect to see
the return of the long sought after Fortress of Solitude Superman and new variants like
"Brave New Metropolis Superman" and "Knight Flyer Batman." Customizers will like this
line also because we will also see the return/repaint of all of the old basic Batman
Animated and Superman Animated Villains and Heroes (Supergirl, Darkseid, Nightwing,
Robin....)
These will be sold under the Banner - "Adventures of the DC Universe."
I'll skip over the reissues that we have seen in previous lines (Creeper,
Batman, Superman, Robin, Batgirl...), and get to the new goodies!!
Aquaman (Classic) -
Here is Arthur as he appeared for the first time in the Superman Animated
Series. This fan favorite is ready to take his place among your "Big Seven."
Accessories include a trident and a mini Sea-horse. Aquaman has 5 points
of articulation.
Aquaman (Modern) -
Here is Arthur as he appears in comics today. Moist and mad with
long, golden locks! Hook is removable and comes with spare hand.
5 points of articulation
DeadMan -
Boston Brand comes to life.... uh...I mean gets his own figure after
his popular appearances in the pages of the "Adventures of the DC Universe"
comic. Deadman will come with clear stand that when attached to he
will appear to be floating. 4 points of articulation.
Golden Age Flash -
Jay Garrick will be zooming into toy stores this year. This old
Iron Horse of the JSA makes his first appearance in the ADCU comic about
the same time his figure will be hitting shelves. Jay comes with
stand and removable hat. With 5 points of articulation.
Brave New Metropolis Superman -
The first Superman variant in the line, but I think most collectors
won't mind since the costume is cannon. Kal-El is in his black outfit
as seen in the popular episode "Brave New Metropolis." Accessories include
a big space/time-ripping thingy to help Lois get back to the earth she
knows. With 8 points of articulation.
Dr. Fate -
From the 2nd Season of Superman the Animated series comes fan favorite
Dr. Fate. Accessories include translucent clip on a clear hover stand.
With 5 points of articulation (May have a gold vac-metalized variant.
They were unsure at press time).
Fire Assault Batman -
"Quick Robin! Too the Bat-poles!" The first repaint/Variant
of Batman but a welcome change from the Fire Engine RED paint job from
the Batman Mission Masters 3 line. This version comes with cape and
ax. With 5 points of articulation.
The Flash -
WOW! We heard this one was sculpted for the old Superman Animated
line but no pictures had surfaced. Here is the original sculpt for that
figure in the old line.

It was pre posed in a running position so they retooled the mold somewhat
into this newer version. Hasbro was unsure which version they would ultimately
go with, and even alluded to a possible on-line poll and let the fans decide
which version they would prefer (How UN-Hasbro of them!)
Knight Flyer Batman -
Another Batman repaint/filler in the line, but in an outfit that he
actually wore in the show! This is how Batman appeared in the Worlds
Finest animated 2 parter. Hasbro is REALLY taking a chance on releasing
Batman regular outfit and an accessory that he really used. Make
sure you buy a couple. Harness is removable. With 5 points of articulation.
Green Lantern -

Hal or Kyle? Kyle or Hal? We've heard the argument before,
but now we don't HAVE to choose! We got both! Both come with
mini-lantern and snap on construct accessory. (Not Shown) Both have 5 points
of articulation.
The Gray Ghost -
From the Fan Favorite episode of the same name comes the Gray Ghost!
Batman's mentor. With 5 points of articulation cape, hat and sidearm.
Robin (Tim) -
Tim Drake in his original costume. This repaint makes nice companion
piece to the blue and gray Batman repaint in this line. Robin comes
with a zip line and 3 batarangs.
Martian Manhunter -
Finally your "Big Seven" is complete! J'onn Jonzz is now an animated
style action figure. Martian Manhunter has a removable cape and comes
with a non-articulated PVC version of MM in his Martian meditation mode.
6 points of articulation.
The Question -
The ultimate team up Batman and the Question can now happen in the comfort
of your own home! The Question comes with 2 masks and a removable
hat. 5 points of articulation
Also in the line reissues of: Batman, Superman, Supergirl, Batgirl,
Nightwing, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, Creeper, Superboy, Steel and
Lois Lane.
