Help Save DC Universe Classics!
Posted by Chris on August 19 2011 14:01:50

August 17, 2011 (LOS ANGELES) Five years ago, 6" action figures roamed the earth freely, and could be found in virtually every comic book shop and toy aisle, but now it seems they are a dying breed. Mattel Inc. (www.mattel.com) is one of the few companies that is still making 6" scale action figures. However, it was announced in July at San Diego Comic Con that Mattel will be rebranding their 6" DC Universe Classics line at Wave 20 – unless they find enough fans to support it.

Mattel offered a possibility to keep the wave going in the form of a direct order subscription service called DC Club Infinite Earths. This subscription would offer fans nine monthly figures and four quarterly over-sized figures in the first year. In addition, fans and subscribers get to vote on the first of the oversized figures which will also serve as a club exclusive for subscribers only. This is the first time fans can save a line, and keep it going for another year. This subscription service is a chance for the fans’ voices to be heard, and to dictate the direction of a major product line from the world’s largest toy company.
