Mattel: What's Next For DC Universe Classics?
Posted by Curto on March 10, 2009 at 06:45 PM CST:

Hot on the heels of today's Photo Archive updates, Mattel sends out photos of the figures that make up wave 9 in the DC Universe Classics line.
Note that the Guardian figure will indeed be the Classic Guardian and not the modern Guardian as shown at NYCC and in Toy Fair. The tooling was not yet available to do both and the classic version was farther along in the process.
Also worth mentioning is that there will be a second variant of Wildcat but it is not confirmed what that is yet.
So, DCUC wave 9 will be the following:
1) Black Adam 2) Black Canary (with REAL fishnet stockings!) 3) Deadshot (Shown Below) 4) Guardian (Classic) 5) Green Arrow 6) Mantis (Human) 7) Mantis (Robot) 8) Wildcat 9) Wildcat (Blue Variant) C&C - Chemo

Update 3/11:
Mattel sent along the missing photo of Deadshot, who was certainly worth waiting for!
Finally, Mattel sends along word on their Facebook page issues: "We are working very hard on getting the MattyCollector Facebook page back up and running. There were a few one-time-only problems but we are working these out with Facebook right now and hope to either restore the original page or get a new permanent page up by the end of the week. We did want to announce that the DCUC Ultraman and Alex Luthor 2 pack will go on sale April 15th and the JLU LOSH pack will go on sale May 15th.
Faker will be on sale this Monday March 16th and will be limited to 4 per person due to his availability at NYCC."
