<\/a> I haven’t had as much time to keep up with news here at IAT lately, but we got a double dose of Matty news today with some leaked pictures of figures from the “unconfirmed” DC Unlimited Wave 3 line-up and our first look at MOTU Classics Jitsu\u2019s bio thanks to new in-package shots. <\/p>\nJitsu is the Club Eternia Figure for February 2013…<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nJitsu<\/strong> – Evil Master of Martial Arts<\/em>, Real Name<\/strong>: Chopper
An intergalactic bandit, Jitsu was broken out of Prison Starr by Keldor during the Great Unrest. In gratitude, he agreed to serve the Evil Lord of Destruction and stayed with him even after Keldor’s transformation into Skeletor. As a master of several forms of martial arts, Jitsu was often on the frontline in battle against Randor and his Masters. During the Battle for Gretori Bridge, he was wounded by his archenemy Fisto and had his hand replaced with a golden robotic implant by Tri-Klops. After Skeletor left Eternia for the stars, Jitsu took over Snake Mountain, ruling it with an iron fist. As deadly as he is silent, Jitsu uses his chopping power to get his evil way! <\/p><\/blockquote>\nI laughed out loud that his real name is “Chopper”. It’s a cute homage to his original working name, but that doesn’t make it any less funny. I can just see Chopper’s erstwhile parents hoping to see their boy grow up to be an evil despot with a robotic hand as they named him. And then the guy goes and throws all that back in his parent’s face and takes a code name. What gives, Chopper? I guess at least your code name wasn’t John or Tom or something. Anyway, the whole bio is saved in the end – Jitsu takes over for Skeletor? Okay, the iron fist comment is a little on the nose, but that’s a pretty sweet development (he should count his lucky stars that Evil-Lyn was depowered and futurebound). No way Fisto can keep up with that!

\nIn DC news, a leaked line-up for DC Unlimited Wave 3 made its way to the internet last week and it looks like some photography has come along to back up those lists (you can check out full-size images at TNI<\/a>). Personally, I’m still at odds about what to do with DC “Classics” at retail. Some folks have noticed the lack of a Superboy Prime or Red Robin review here at IAT. I do want those, but I’ve yet to find them anywhere. Super Powers Penguin, DKR Batman, & Zur-en-arrh Batman are also locks for my collection when I find them, but beyond those I’m having trouble. <\/p>\n
Despite my ever-growing dislike of the comics, the early New 52 figures looked sharp. Superman & Batman look like nice figures in both regular and metallic versions. Wonder Woman looks great. The 4H seem to have done exemplary work on Hawkman… and Flash was okay. I had given in and, after the annoying difficulty finding DCUC21, pre-ordered all of them. Aquaman & Darkseid have given me pause though. Aquaman is there with Flash (that younger Jim Lee look would’ve made for a more exciting figure). Darkseid is mildly tempting thanks to those MOTU\/DKR parts, but Jim Lee’s design looks worse in in three dimensions than it did on paper. Man, I just don’t know… a smart man would probably just stick to Penguin and those two Batmen versions and then pray for the sub to go through year after year. <\/p>\n
Oh, and there’s Injustice: Gods Among Us<\/em> figures too. They do one thing well and that’s make the New 52 figures look better, but I’m pretty sure that’s not why Mattel is making them. No pictures of Joker yet, but after that Superman, I may not want to see it…<\/p>\n
Anyway, updates to the checklist pages will be up in a few days. Lots to decide as a DCUC collector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
