The line will reuse the moniker &#8220;DC Universe All-Stars&#8221;, the name previously given to reissued figures that had lost their C&#038;C part. And the first lineup is: <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/asw1.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Not the best pics, but Mattel&#8217;s new policy is to only release watermarked thumbnails at their own site, so that&#8217;s what we get. From left to right, Larfleeze (who previously debuted at NYCC), Superboy Prime, Flashpoint Plastic Man (WTF?), and Batman Beyond. We should note that Batman Beyond is using the same press image released by Mattel in for the 2008 version. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to be a downer here, as that&#8217;s not usually my thing, but this is pretty lackluster. Fans of Larfleeze &#038; Superboy Prime should be happy with these reveals, but I don&#8217;t know if anyone will be too excited for a reissue (redeco?) Batman Beyond and Plastic Man in a costume from an (awful!) mini-series. I mean, I love Plastic Man and I don&#8217;t even want that figure&#8230; better to not be reminded of Flashpoint at all, let alone the Legion of Doom title. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, am I being pessimistic? Is this a cool wave?
