    *CLOSER INSPECTION of back of First Appearances packages

    *In left corner- All Star Comics #8- 1ST appearance of Wonder Woman!

    Sensation Comics #1- Wonder Woman was LEAD feature but 1st appearances of Mr Terrific and Wildcat!

    Flash Comics #1- 1st appearances of Jay Garrick Flash of course, Hawkman, and Johnny Thunderbolt (later Johnny Thunder w/ his Thunderbolt)!

    Action Comics #252- 1st appearance of Kara Zor-El Supergirl!

    1st Appearance Wonder Woman, Flash, Supergirl, and Wildcat or Mr Terrific would make great Megos! And Hawkman and Johnny Thunder! BRING ON JSA!

        and the million dollar question...is batgirl on a straight arm body?
        might get this one but straight arm is a deal breaker....

              Not exactly thrilled with these really. Robin the best one for me. Will probably just pick up the dynamic duo just for what they are.

                Batgirl in a black suit is a gimme for me.

                The others?

                I like that Robin is on a 7 inch body. That's appealing, but I still want a regular Robin on a 7-inch body to go with the other Teen Titans.

                Golden Age Batman looks fine except for the head sculpt. If this used anything but the Mego Batman head, I would be more interested. At least white out the eyes and put a black shadow on the mask. As is, I may still get him and swap him out with a RC head.

                Not feeling the RC Batman at all. Maybe if they had the black shadow on the cowl. Even then, seems more like a throw in to make this a full Batman Series. That's a skip, unless I have to buy these as a set (which is probably true everywhere except the FTC sites).

                  Since all of these are created using existing parts, I'm curious if Golden Age Flash is going to have a new head sculpt or if it's going to be a brown haired MEGO Superman head with a helmet or something. I guess the helmet is going to have to be new, so...I have no idea which way they're going to go.
                  Expectation is the death of discovery.

                    Robin looks totally out of proportion. 8-inch stuff on a teen body.

                      I kinda hated these last night but this morning they are growing on me.

                      I like the Robin more this morning after reading the announcement and getting confirmation that he is on the 7" body and a green cape version. I do wish Batman had the blacked out forehead like Batgirl and whited out eyes.

                      And the one from the back panel that nobody has mentioned is the comic with the Spectre reaching around the earth! It is expected since they already have the cape in stock. They also have a bald head in stock from their Space 1999 figures. The way these are done makes me wonder if they are just going to reuse pre-existing heads for all of the figures. If so, I hope they at least go for the Invisible Woman head for Supergirl and Wonder Woman. Both of their costumes have the potential to make those two worth getting if done right.

                        I always thought brown haired Shazam...but your right it will be interesting to see how they go.
                        I seriously doubt it will be new heads...costs have to be kept down after all.

                        I wonder if they will sell the GA Batman belt later as a seperate part?

                          The Robin and Batgirl are winners.....but Bob Kane/Dick Sprang Batman has the greatest smile and it's sorely missing it....

                            Batgirl in black is the only one I'm interested in. I definitely hope the talked about 7" regular Robin isn't like this, with am 8" head slapped on a 7" body; really bad figure. Batman is just a poor re-do; they didn't even bother whiting out the eyes. What has me potentially stoked is what's shown on the back. GA Wonder Woman, Jay Garrick Flash and Silver Age Supergirl would definitely interest me (as long as Supergirl isn't on the existing teen girl body). Had those been the reveals, I'd be thrilled right now. I fear lack of interest in these cheap re-dos might doom the figures people might actually buy in the next wave. If this line was used to launch some of the JSA characters, I think it could have some real legs; if it's just for cheesy re-dos, it won't last.

                              FTC could have at least put shadows on the 2 Batman cowls and whited out his eyes!
