The New Teen Titans Wave 2 figures came out!

[The Toyroom]

The wave numbering is confusing...

- Starfire, Raven and Cyborg were released in 2001 individually and then Changeling was later added to the group and it was sold as a boxed set.

- Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), Robin (Tim Drake),Deathstroke & Blackfire were released in 2004 as Teen Titans Series 1.

- Series 2 consisted of Superboy (Conner), Kid Flash (Bart Allen), Brother Blood (the teen-age one) & Ravager and came out in 2005.

- Now the new ones are under the banner "New Teen Titans" and I'm assuming Wave 2 is an indiction it's a continuation of the earlier Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and Changeling set.

- In addition, Kid Flash (Wally West) was released as part of the FLash/Kid Flash boxed set and also individually as one of "DC's Speedsters". Aqualad was part of the Aquaman/Aqualad boxed set and Speedy was part of the Green Arrow/Speedy boxed set.

I think that accounts for all of the Titans so far....where's Danny Chase?

Hmm, I think Wave One accounts for only Starfire,Cyborg, Kid Flash, and Raven really.And you can include Beast Boy since he's a part of the team, but he wasn't really in the 'first wave' so to speak. He was in a boxed set like already stated. And now Wave 2 of TNTT is this series.

The Contemporary Teen Titans are in their own series so their number doesn't account for TNTT for anyone confused about that.

Basically, I think the all of the loose end 'Titans' have been rounded up ayway. ^^^

I talked to my LCBS owner about the New Gods figures. He's really ticked. Apparently the Mister Miracle is short-packed in cases.

Jericho is also short-packed. Dealers were told about this in their original solicitations. Westfield and other online dealers warned customers if they wanted Mr. Miracle and/or Jericho, they needed to pre-order the whole wave so they could order the proper number of cases.

He did order the whole wave, lots of them to satisfy each customer who wanted one. My whole point is, now he's stuck with extras of Lightray because not as many people want him. I don't know how this affects the Teen Titans wave yet.
They also did this with the comic-style TMNT. They couldn't just ship evenly-packed boxes, although everyone wants the whole set of 4.

Yep, You had to get the boxed set to get the Changeling. Also, the boxed set had repaints of Raven (in her white outfit) and Cyborg (in gold instead of silver). No change to Starfire.

I'm sorry. I must have mis-read your post. I thought you meant that your dealer was mad because he didn't know in advance that Mr. Miracle was going to be short-packed.

Oh no, he knew. He just wasn't happy about it It's just kind of screwy marketing, forcing retailers to buy more figures they don't need, to get the ones they(or their customers) want. He stopped selling Marvel Legends because of their case assortments. People would buy the chases and leave him stuck with a pile of Ben Affleck Daredevils. On top of that, he didn't order the quantities that chains like WalMart or Target did, so he paid more for them. To break even, he had to charge more than those stores for the same figures.

I finally got my set.

These are fantastic in person. Some of the best sculpts ever. My only complaint is with the fact the waists don't move,.. so they seem alittle stiff imo. I love the Robin,... But I have to get another one,.. because I opened him.

I wish DCD Would make another Starfire soon,.. to be compatable with what they do now with their figures.

Haha, same deal with my Robin too! When I got it, despite the pain in my collector's heart, I ripped open that beautiful packaging and took out my Robin figure. I couldn't resist feeling it in my hands, and boy is it magnificent. I had to buy another one though quickly so I could have a MOC one. :P I'm just so happy that DCD didn't mess these up as it could of easily happened.

Also I agree with an updated Starfire. I also want an updated Kid Flash too. Those two just seem out of date. As for Raven, I really like the older figure, but a new revised one would be cool so she was just sculpted standing with her cloak or something so she could have more articulation. (I give kudos to DCD for the other Raven figure, but it really has bad articulation as she has to stay in that pose the entire time). Hopefully these NTT figures are wave 1 of a series that lasts for many many waves..

Yeah,.. Right Now I am thinking about opening my Crisis Batman figure, Inspired by Aparo's Batman to pose him with my Robin,.. But that would mean, I would have to get another of him too.
