    As an old school Masters of the Universe fan, and a DC Superhero Collector, I really like these. The initial run of these figures on Amazon were garbage - they had breakage, mold defects, poor plastic, and sloppy paint - they looked like cheap knockoffs. The new run of these figures at Target are vastly improved - no breakage better plastic and the paint is perfect. The only problem I see with them is their hands are kind of stiff and I wasn't able to put the weapons in their hands. However a little "boil & pop" hot water action and the hands softened up easily to accept the weapons. They stand, pose, and hold the weapons very securely now. I am looking forward to adding the Funko Thundercats to go along with these. My local Target got in a case these and I was able to pick up a Wonder Woman, King Shark, and Joker figure, the others were already gone. These went real fast at my local Target and all that is left is a lone Joker figure now. No sign of the Comic, Battle Beasts, or Batcave playset, or the T-shirts.

    Target.com has some in stock now for anybody looking.

    Wave 2 was seen at the Funko London Toyfair.

    With Mattel losing the rights to DC Comics Figures and Spinmaster acquiring the rights, I hope there would be some room for somebody to make this 5 inch style of the Heroes in their Classic "non-savage" costumes in the future.

            Given my two favorite properties are DC and MOTU, it's like these were made with me in mind. The quality control of the initial releases left a bit to be desired (I had problems with all but two of the figures) kind of dulled the excitement. but I am hearing here and elsewhere that the QC has improved on the ones at Target. Looking forward to the next wave, but a little bummed the next wave is all testosterone. I'd think Catwoman would have been a natural for this line, or Huntress, especially with the strong Bat presence. Hawkman and Hawkwoman would have been naturals, as well. Still one of my favorite new lines out there.

              I found the comic today at Target, It wasn't a bad read. I thought of it more as an "Elseworld" story.

              It contained the main story and then solo stories of Wonder Woman & Grundy, Joker, Freeze, Batman and Superman & Bizarro.

              I still haven't seen any figures yet anywhere.

                  The comic was in the toy isle under the Marvel Legends. I just happen to run across it checking on the new Megos.

                      If my Target is going to do this they haven't done it yet.
