<\/a>On Facebook today, Mattel showed us our first packaged pics of DCUC Wave 16. I was expecting this delayed wave to be in the Super Power packaging (with buttons!), but it now serves as our first look at the 2011 packaging – the difference? It’s bigger. Plus, some early TRU finds of that exclusive Renegade after all. <\/p>\n

Last month, we saw that the Green Lantern Classics packaging was somewhat larger than the packaging we’d been buying the figures into this point. Toy Guru would later confirm that the packaging was made that size to match the rest of the 2011 material. With these packaged Wave 16 images, we’re getting our first look at that packaging. Larger images (& cardback images) are available by clicking the links below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, we have a new figure in that cancelled TRU Singles line rolling into stores right now. The line has been on a bit of a roller coaster since it started. It surprised us back in February when Batman showed up at TRU unannounced<\/A> with Flash<\/a> & Hal Jordan<\/a> following soon after. We had thought the 4th figure would be a Renegade version<\/a> of Nightwing back in July, but when Mattel debuted Tuxedo Joker at SDCC without mentioning Nightwing and we expected him to be the 4th figure. In the November Q&A’s, Mattel said the line wasn’t going forward and that that would be the end of it. Apparently, that wasn’t quite correct. Various reports from across the net today of a new repaint showing up at TRU today. It turns out that Nightwing is the 4th figure after all, apparently squeaking out before the singles line (& Joker) was cancelled.<\/p>\n

Finally, this is so<\/em> last week, but Mattel also released images of the upcoming TRU exclusive Hal Jordan vs Sinestro two-pack. This gives us our first look at the repainted accessories<\/del> constructs included in the pack. I’m surprised they went with the rifle instead of giving Hal his trademark fist and I’m not sure who those Metal Men accessories are going to fit on Sinestro, but hopefully that was addressed in the planning stages. Larger images are available by clicking the links below.<\/p>\n
