DCUC Wave 17 Rumor - "Rainbow Lantern" Wave

[ScottA]

Ok, I just discovered this rumor today and was wondering how much "truth" there might be to it from anything you may have heard or read. In case you didn't know the wave is said to include:

Blue Lantern Flash
Orange Lantern Lex Luthor
Yellow Lantern Scarecrow
Indigo Lantern Atom
Sapphire Lantern Wonder Woman
Black Lantern Hal Jordan
White Lantern Hal Jordan (variant)
Collect & Connect Anti-Monitor

I've also seen a list which replaces both Hals with Red Lantern Mera and the green suit Mera with a non-angry head.

So, yea or nay, pro or con, real or fiction, buy or not?

I don't have a problem with this wave. Actually surprised we haven't seen one or two of them already, althought they are in the DCD line-ups. I think I'd rather see the Meras than more Hals (he could be put in the GL waves). I also feel this wave would look pretty cool on the shelf, especially if the used tranparent plastic in some places and all came with a power lantern and/or ring.

I also noticed on the AFI forums people were going nuts over this rumor, how this would be a buzz kill and a peg warmer wave. Glad we aren't like them.

I would hope these have new sculpt elements and not just repaints!

Not surprised if these were on the shelves in time to cash in on the Green Lantern movie hype.

The only problem I have with this wave is isn't DC Direct pretty much doing the same thing with the Rainbow Lanterns? Of course the articulation may not be the same but it seems redundant to me to hit the same character base...

And although a CNC Anti-Monitor sounds cool I can never score all of the figures to even build a CNC

I'd buy them all ..., if this rumor is even true.
I Like the designs of DCU's so much better than DCD's statues .
