    Superboy looks really good, aside from the belt! And looks like Luthor belongs in the Alfred/Bizarro head-scale camp. To be fair, he's always had a big ego...

    Brainiac- green skin, pink costume
    Zod and other Phantom Zone criminals
    Metallo- green and orange costume
    Parasite- purple skin
    Toyman- Winslow Schott?
    Prankster
    Atomic Skull
    Terra Man- ok that's enough!

    Yes, all of these!

    I'm pretty sure the next Supes wave or two will be with the 3 Phantom Zoners, Lana Lang, an updated Supergirl, and possibly Krypto, considering they're all on FTC's dedicated Superman carrying case pic. No doubt a new Supes too.

      Is the paint apps or texture better on the Barbara head sculpt? I would think it would be a new run, not leftovers from the initial run. Toycade's '66 Batman definitely had improved paint apps compared to the original version.

      And is Lex on a teen body too? Maybe that's why the head looks big?

      Thank you for the picture!
      Ain't no thang!

      I hate Superboy's belt, too. And his head is really loose. It kinda wobbles hilariously when you move him at all. He's got a sweet yellow 'S' on his cape, though.

      Luthor's not on the teen body.

      I didn't get the previous Barbara Gordon figure, so I dunno if this is new or improved. It's pretty good in person.

          I ordered the Superboy wave today. I just think it's awesome that they've made figures of Ma and Pa Kent! (And Lois, Jimmy and Perry White.)

            So other than Superboy's belt positioning, I really like the figure overall. Costume, sculpt, paints. Nicely done.

            Lex Luthor's head, while a nice sculpt, looks WAY TO FRIGGIN BIG! Holy cow! The rest of him looks good.

            Not diggin' Barbara.

              I just noticed something. Is Superboy's right hand a "trigger-finger" hand? Sure looks like it. Hmmm...

                It kinda is, I almost mentioned it. Captain Marvel Jr, on the same "teen" body, has the same. What's weird is that these hands have a weird dimple where the knuckle should be. It's not a big deal on Cap Jr, but on my Superboy it's a really deep hole.

                  Whoa! And to think we all complained about Alfred having a humongous head! Lex's head is WAY too big!

                    This head size issue is getting ridiculous, and they are showing no signs of correcting it.

                                I'm three. Other than Batman '66, it's all cherry-picking. Which is maddening and disappointing and I still intend to crab about it.
