[HR][/HR]In addition to the Mattypalooza panel during Comic-Con which covered all toy lines under Mattel’s wing, there was also a more specific [B]DC Universe Classics[/B] panel to give fans a look at everything that’s coming in 2012.

The announcement that Wave 20 would be the very last DC Universe Classics wave at retail came as a shock.  But before you get too worked up about it, it’s not the end of DC Universe.  Mattel is merely taking a small leave of absence to study how to tackle new action figures with the re-launch of the comic books.

In other DC Universe Classics news, expect to see [B]Wave 19[/B] in stores this Fall, which includes Stargirl, The Atom, Sandman, Hawkman, Magog, and Lord Naga with S.T.R.I.P.E. being the collect-and-connect figure.

The final [B]DC Universe Classics Wave 20[/B] will hit in Spring 2012 and includes Green Arrow, Reverse Flash, Hawk, Dove, Red Arrow, Sinestro (Corps), and The Flash II (White Lantern).  Collect-and-connect in this wave is NEKRON.
