MattyCollector.com has an update on the new DC Universe Club Infinite Earths line. Golden Age Flash will indeed be the first figure released, but it’s being pushed back from an April to May launch. For subscribers, they will begin processing orders when the shipment is received (ETA is currently 5/12) and sending them out about 10 business days later. Although the club is starting in May rather than April, you’ll still get the nine figures you signed up for in 2012. They plan to double up on figures for one month in the fall. Here is the revised release schedule:
May: Golden Age The Flash (Jay Garrick)
June: Atrocitus (monthly figure) & Metron (club-exclusive)
July: Starman (monthly figure) & Rocket Red (club quarterly figure)
August: Mirror Master
September: Black Mask
