This is something that&#8217;s been bothering me quite a bit lately as I look for DCUC9. Many of the Wal-Marts around me have removed comic-based action figures entirely while the few stores that are stocking up on DCUC are filling up on the Best of Cases. I wholeheartedly want to throw ItsAllTrue&#8217;s support behind it, so if you&#8217;re reading this, I&#8217;d like to personally ask you to head over an add your name to the list. At the very least, let&#8217;s make sure that Wal-Mart knows what we think they need to do to get this wave out there and avoid a repeat of DCUC5. And if you don&#8217;t want to do it for me, do it for Joker.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><a style=\"color:#ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.infinitehollywood.com\/2009\/09\/gi-joe-resolute-bat-figure-review.html\" target=\"_blank\">Resolute B.A.T. Review @ Infinite Hollywood<\/a> &#8211; The 5pk this B.A.T. is from came out a bit ago, but it&#8217;s still lingering at the Wal-Marts near me for $21 and the timing of the review is fortuitous for me. I haven&#8217;t pulled the trigger on it, mostly anticipating that I will magically find DCUC9, but this review shows off some great pics of the B.A.T. and really makes me rethink my decision to keep passing it up. While you&#8217;re there check out the awesome custom 25th Slaughter hiding among the pics!<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><a style=\"color:#ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.articulateddiscussion.com\/post\/Review-DC-Universe-Classics-Wave-9-Mantis-%28Classic%29.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">DCUC9 Mantis Review @ Articulated Discussion<\/a> &#8211; The folks at Articulated Discussion have been working through a series of reviews on DCUC9. I&#8217;m more than a little jealous &#8211; I&#8217;ve managed to get a DCUC9 reference into all these links so far &#8211; because I&#8217;m still looking for these guys. AD has a great review of the non-robot Mantis. I&#8217;m not nearly as stoked for him as I am for the robot version, but the review is helping me to appreciate the figure. When you head over, be sure to click around a little and find reviews of Black Adam, Deadshot, and Guardian.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><a style=\"color:#ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.poeghostal.com\/2009\/09\/review-ninja-minimates-decal-kit.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Review &#8211; Ninja Minimates Decal Kit @ PoeGhostal.Com<\/a> &#8211; Poe&#8217;s got a review of something I&#8217;ve been eyeing for awhile, the ninja decal kit from <a style=\"color:#ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lukestoystore.com\/exclusives.html\" target=\"_blank\">Luke&#8217;s Toy Store<\/a>.
