Blue Beetle is just one of the many DCU characters being cast – or re-cast – in plastic by Mattel in 2010
With the 2010 New York Toy Fair kicking off with several collector showcases this weekend, action figure fans are ready for the flood of new images and information coming from all their favorite lines. No slouch in this particular department, Mattel came out swinging with several reveals sure to get comic and cartoon fans jazzed for the rest of 2010 as they continue to celebrate the 75th anniversary of DC Comics with all new packaging, as well as pins included with select figures for an added bonus. From the animated stylings of the popular Justice League Unlimited line to the modern Super Powers-inspired DC Universe Classic, fans of the DCU were well served.
Beyond that, Mattel showcased new waves of heroic figures that should strike a chord with toy fans of all stripes including new versions of their now mail-in specific Masters of the Universe line (including in-store crossover packs featuring both MOTU heroes and DC superheroes) and a revival of superhero toys inspired by the classic Mego dolls of the 1970s. Read on for a full rundown of the most powerful figures from the DCU from big names like Superboy and Darkseid to fan favorites like Blue Beetle and…Cyclotron?
