    Well I like 3 out of 4, Batgirl just doesn't have any magic for me, the others look really good, I think Barbara Gordon
    looks fine, O'Hara is a very cool addition and who doesn't want removable cowl Batman?

    I would have liked seeing Catwoman and hopefully at some point, both Newmar and Kitt will be available, but I think
    they did a nice job with this new release, just wish Batgirl looked better, I was hoping for her, and now I'm
    reluctant to get her.

      I think Batgirl looks fine. I imagine it's very hard to do female characters in the retro Mego style. If you go too realistic, it's not Mego like anymore or if you go too cute and doll like, you can lose the likeness of the actress. It's probably very challenging to get a happy medium between the two.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I only recently discovered the newsletter (actually didn't know what others were talking about before) but it's a great resource and I appreciate all the work and time putting this together.

            I agree, that seems to be the case. I'm glad that she's got a shiny costume rather than a flat purple one. That's probably where most of the money went. Looks good enough to me; preorder done!

                Homerun FTC!!! Wow, those are nice!

                I'm really enjoying the recaps in the newsletter. They often remind me that I need to take a closer look at some forum links I breeze by during my work day.

                    They both look fantastic. Obviously GL is coming in a SF wave, but I wonder if Catwoman appear in an upcoming Batman wave, or something else?

                          GL looks fantastic, again hit and miss with this line. Wasnt someone laughing about catwoman having a slit in her skirt and having high heels, and not be made into a figure
