In addition to the release of the 5pk and some first sightings of Wave 9, AFI and the Fwoosh offered first looks at two future waves of DC Classics. Check out both sites for great turnarounds, figure comparisons, and closeups. Also, be aware &#8211; even if we&#8217;re just seeing DCUC9 hitting retail, these first looks don&#8217;t preceed the figures by that much. It&#8217;s looking to be an expensive run for DCUC in the next few weeks!

It was hard to pick favorites, but I really enjoyed the Matrix Minimates and the Guardians of the Galaxy customs. There&#8217;s a great custom wave of Marvel Legends with a BAF Goliath. A ton of original characters Pocket Heroes. Some modern Thundercats. I could go on and on&#8230; so it&#8217;s best to just explore the customs for yourself!
