DCUC FTW?

So while I'm sitting in the lab waiting for the RNA in my tissue sample to dissolve (I lead an awesome life, by the way), I thought I'd put up an entry. See, I stumbled upon an update from Mattycollector.com's facebook page (let me digress briefly: I hate the "Matty" character, and the person who runs the facebook page can't spell and generally seems like an idiot) that had in-package photos of DCUC Wave 10. To be honest, I'm pretty excited about this line, namely the all-black Michael Keaton-esque Batman and the brown Man-Bat. I have the SDCC albino exclusive, which I love because I'm a fool for odd variants (and white is my favorite color!), but I always assumed the brown version would be out eventually. I'm glad to see that's the case.

I only have one DCUC figure, the illustrious Killer Moth, and currently there are only two more on my want-list: the unmasked Terry McGinnis (though I craved him more when he was rare... is that wrong?) and Deadshot from Wave 9 (who is theoretically out now, but I'll never find him). I haven't been all that into the DCUC figures up until this point, but with these two, plus that awesome Zebra Batman shown at SDCC, I'm looking forward to finding these out in the wild. (Let me digress again briefly: THESE ARE NOT SOLD ANYWHERE NEAR ME. HMPH. Though apparently more Wal-Marts will be stocking Wave 10, so hopefully I'll be able to find them at retail.)

Also, I'm excited because apparently a new comics shop opened up near where I live in Ohio, where up until now there's been nothing. The photos online of the place look pretty promising in terms of toy selection, which is good because I might be able to see more of the things I want out in the wild, but bad because if I do end up seeing more things to want, I'll spend money on them. The Superman/Batman series 7 Batman is a good example. I thought he looked cool back in early 2008 when he was shown on DC Direct's website, and now I might be able to go look at him in person and contemplate buying him. And when the Ghostbusters minimates series 2 box set comes out, you better believe I'm there.
