It’sAllTrueReview: DC Classics Vigilante and Giganta
We've been a little pressed to fit all the reviews in since we got back from JoeCon. We had SDCC Exclusive Week to get those reviews done. We had JoeWeek to get through those reviews too. But in all of the fun, two reviews got lost in the shuffle. This is one of those reviews. First, I should thank the fine folks that e-mailed me about Vigilante. More than a few people noticed he was missing from the Wave 8 reviews and e-mailed me offering to guest review, to loan, to sell, and even to give me a Vigilante. Dutifully, I turned down those offers because I've had Vigilante the whole time. We just left him by the wayside. That's over today. We’re finishing our Series 8 reviews with the fifth installment, featuring Giganta and Vigilante.
We hadn’t planned on Monday being a follow-up to our 
Toy collectors are an interesting bunch. We're a diverse group of people with different backgrounds, different tastes, different opinions. Sometimes it seems like we might have very little in common other than the love of toys, but there is a common factor we see in a lot of toy collections. We at ItsAllTrue like to group our action figures into subteams and we're not the only ones. 
Toy collecting can be a strange endeavor for me. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. I imagine there are a variety of factors involved. There’s the joy of finding the latest stuff, usually after a fair amount of frustration caused by not finding it up to that point. There’s the satisfaction of placing an entire collection together tempered by adding up the cost of everything still to come in the next few weeks. Particularly, though, how I feel towards any line seems to come and go in waves. 
As I stare at my shelf of about 100 DCUC figures and think about the ones that are confirmed for the next few waves, I try and figure out what rhyme or reason Mattel is using to decide on who they are going to make and when. Although Martian Manhunter is the glaring omission in all of our collections, he’s not one of the ones I'm talking about today. What I don’t understand is how few JSA members, both golden age and modern, Mattel has produced so far. Maybe things are more difficult than I understand, but what is the problem with putting one JSAer into every wave? They’ve been doing it with the New Gods, and those are just the New Gods. Some of the New Gods are nice to have, but Mattel is churning out some others that aren't really in high demand. So my shelf almost has a complete Fourth World, and still lacks enough members to make any decent semblance of a JSA.
