<\/a>As we gear up towards SDCC next week, there’s been a few announcements, teases, and sneak peeks at what we can expect to see at the big event. We’ve got the details for the 2011 Mattel subscriptions, where to find the Green Lantern movie costumes, and some news about upcoming figures!<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/fill4.png?w=640\")

This month’s ToyFare #157 gives DCUC collectors got their first look at figures from DCUC16 as well as one from the super-secret<\/em> subline: Jonah Hex, Creeper, Bane, & Kyle Rayner. Of the lot, Bane looks the best overall & Kyle’s head sculpt looks sharp, but I’m going to need to see the upcoming deluge of pics from SDCC to tell what I do and don’t like. The super-secret<\/em> subline is shaping up to be a modern line, which has resulted in Kyle getting his modern costume. I don’t mind, but getting Kyle in his traditional 90s duds is now my No. 1 DCUC request.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

My JLU days are mostly long over, but TF#157 gives collectors a first look at a new 3pk with a JLU Batman decoed in TAS colors (it looks really cool) packed with a classic colors Joker and a Grey Ghost! Grey Ghost is long overdue. Like most JLU, I feel the tug to pick this up, but luckily, I never find any new stuff at Target.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Also pictured is a new Ghostbusters 4pk coming to TRU this Fall. It features the GBs in their dark grey uniforms from the second film. This is the one item that I knew would test my resolve to quit the line, so we’ll see what happens. The set includes “tongue” Slimer as well as 5 (hopefully removable) santa hats as featured in the scene where we first see the uniforms. The only drawbacks so far are that Peter is back to having tucked in pants and it’s unlikely that Winston will receive an updated head sculpt to match his likeness in the second film.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

In more DCUC news, the WizardWorld<\/a> has its latest DCUC Fan poll up and ready to go. This time fans are getting to choose between a group of C&C’s for DCUC20. I’ve been very critical of the fan polls in the past – the characters simply aren’t chosen with popularity in mind – and this poll appears to follows suit. We can choose from the Shaggy Man, Blockbuster, King Shark, Girder, Wildebeest, & Nekron.<\/p>\n
![](\"newsimages\/itn\/cnc20.jpg\")
<\/A><\/CENTER><\/p>\nThere’s some good choices & bad choices there, but I fear that Nekron’s current super-high profile is going to give him an unfair advantage here. It particularly annoys me because of the super-secret<\/em> subline and the fact that I’d rather see him as a normal-sized dude. My inner conspiracy theorist looks at this list and pictures Mattel crafting a poll so that they can make Nekron. I urge each of you to reach back to your comic roots and vote for a character you’ve loved for a long time. That would be just about any of the other five…<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

The upcoming cover of Entertainment Weekly<\/a> gives us our first look at Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern costume. I try not to pre-judge films, particularly based on one picture, but uh… well, Deadman sums up my initial feelings…
