Also, fans of French maids.<\/p>\n<p>Right next to that on page 381 are two Mattel offerings: a <b>Batman Unlimited<\/b> series with Dark Knight Returns Batman and the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh; and <b>DC Unlimited<\/b>, with videogame Batman and New 52 Wonder Woman.<\/p>\n<p>And then on page 382, the 6\" <b>Wonder Woman Mez-It<\/b> can be ordered.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is interesting! On page 385, there's a listing for more <b>Marvel Universe<\/b> three-packs, and while the images show the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor\/IM\/Red Hulk, the actual text is for sets we haven't heard anything about before: West Coast Avengers, and Inhumans sets!
