Join us as we take a closer look at Spirit to see if he's worthy of being a Thoroughbred-- or if he's destined for the glue factory!

"Finally, The Rock has come back to the toy aisle!"-- is what this figure from Mattel's WWE Survivor Series Heritage Collection would say if our reality was full of insanity and action figures could speak.

Okay, it seems Mattel has unleashed some BIG news for all us DC Universe Classics fans. Knowing that our beloved DCUC was being relegated to the Club Infinite Earths on Matty Collector in favor of a new line caused excitement in some and anxiety in others. What would the figures look like? Would the Four Horsemen be sculpting them? Were they going to be figures sporting the DC New 52 costumes? Would there be Collect & Connect pieces? Well, all those questions and more have been put to rest recently with Mattel's announcement of their 2012 toyline: DC Universe All-Stars!

Read on for all the info straight from Mattel, along with some speculation by us. Pure speculation, people!
