The Wave 5 wait

[jasonmego1277]

I seriously doubt this line is moving to a Matty exclusive line, That would mean two things the line is indeed dead or is trying to be killed. However I thought Paul had finished submitting a few series of waves for 2011 ? Too be honest I too an dissapointed and underwhelmed by everything shown from Toy fair thus far. The GLs are not wave 5. They will coming out each month starting inj March till the Movie release.

I am seriously wondering if Mattel is behind the line as well. I had really hoped to see a Robin from this line at this event. Oh well time will tell what happens. Anyways whats this about Wave 4 not being available until Summer 2011 ? Darkseid and Black Adam are already floating around. Very odd.

Seeing that waves 3 and 4 got pushed out side by side, one has to ask what is going on here. Perhaps the easiest way to answer this, is to just ask Paul and Joe. Is there going to be a Wave 5?

Is the Retro Action line officially dead/discontinued????! The fixed Shazam looks GREAT now I might add!!

A matty.com exclusive line?

Jeesh, here we go again... Shades of MOTU.

The GL's are Wave 5. Wave 4 will be the last in-store as we are now transitioning to Matty.com

Someone should just call it already.

The Gl's are supposed to be a Matty exclusive and not part of the regular waves.

You guys are on Wave 5...I wish my Toys R Us would get Wave 2 let alone get wave 3.

I have to say, I was not here much today because I figured it would take all day to reveal anything. So far, it's been underwhelming. And it also opens the doors to start asking questions again. Is Mattel still behind this line? Wave 3 is out and, as good as it is, appears to be following the same path as Wave 2. Nothing much in stores and no news of future releases outside of what has been known for the past six months. The Retro line didn't even make the Mattel press release. Normally that would be no big deal since the line is not that big. But with the Green Lantern tie-in, you would think they would promote all the figures offered. It's been a frustrating conclusion to what I thought would be a fun reveal.

Is that a different Shazam head sculpt?

I honestly can't tell....not sure if it just looks different because the neck is shortened.

5 months? Pffttthhh

[Teemu]

guess we wait till SDCC to get another wave!

Looks like it but can't quite see well enough. Notice that the card on the table by their feet says "Summer 2011 release". Yeah? How you make 'em snowballs in Summertime? Idiots
