Could be, but I haven't seen anything from Mattel stating that Legion couldn't be in the DCUC wave.

It does appear that the JLU versions will debut first, but I'm certainly counting on Legionnaires being in the DCUC line as well.

Great Darkness figures would be great -- as the uniforms used in that story were around in the 70s as well. The only problem would be Timber Wolf who was in that disco-inspired, chest hair revealing number that followed the Cockrum costume.

Matty Collector will be offering 4 LSH figures as part of their JLU animated series. Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5 as seen in the 5th season of JLU (Far from Home, episode 10).

In a Press Release dated 3/10/09 Mattel said:
We did want to announce that the DCUC Ultraman and Alex Luthor 2 pack will go on sale April 15th and the JLU LOSH pack will go on sale May 15th.
Faker will be on sale this Tuesday March 16th and will be limited to 4 per person due to his availability at NYCC.


These usually go on sale starting at around 11am EST (8am PST)

While no JLU figure has sold out in less than a week so far my connection at Mattel has said there was a noticeable jump at Mattycollector after announcing the LSH figures. I can also say that while NO additional LSH figures are currently planed they have already asked for sculpts of the next 4 'in case things change in May'

As a recap - May 15th the LSH JLU figures will become available at Matty Collector Online

I am buying this, but Saturn Girl is a slight disappointment. I wish she was more like the cartoon version we saw.

It looks like Eaglemoss will be releasing lead figurines of Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad.

These come with glossy magazines devoted to the history of the characters.

I'm glad to see these- and I'll buy 'em-- but, Lord, the rest of the Legionnaires are like Jan Brady. "Founders, fouders, founders..."

Am I the only one who's finding the shoulder-to-waist proportions on the males kind of... um, disconcerting ?

Oh, well. [shrug]

or/and "Brainiac 5, Brainiac 5, Brainiac 5" as he is always getting into the merchandise such as Action Figures, Heroclix, VS card, etc...and keeps popping somewhere in comics such as Superman, Booster Gold, and recently REBELS...beating out Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl, Colossal Boy, Chameleon Boy, and others before him. I would love to see Princess Projectra to get some recognition somehow.

The list I saw had Brainiac 13 on it. There was some comment about that character not having enough appearances.

Has Eaglemoss clarified?

Well Master's of the Universe Faker went on sale and lasted 3 hours, 3 hours. Also Matty has said on line sales of JLU figures are on the fence and continuation will be determined by sales of the LSH and Marvel Family waves. If you want these figures I would recommend being available on Friday May 15 at 12:00 Noon EST to place your order at MattyCollector.com.

I now have much better pictures available at Go! Figure.

I guess they have started making the figures, cause this Brainiac 5 has shown up on eBay. Guess this seller knows someone who works at the factory since they have many unpainted figures for sale...anyhow...here's the link.

eBay Item Page Link

I'm holding out for all 4 from Mattel, but if anyone wants to see close up pics of a finished Brainiac 5 figure check it out.

EDIT: And DAMN I just realized on May 15th I'm going to be in Tokyo! Or rather I'm leaving here on May 14th and it'll be May 15th when the plane lands. *headdesk*

Those eyes are downright scary. She looks like she should be cast as the "Medical Officer" in a 1950s grade Z monster movie.
