      Todd said in a video( for the black adam figures) dr fate holds a spot in his heart for him as he was the first dc character he drew so I’m sure we will see Kent. I hope this line has legs but I’m pessimistic bit will only be a few waves. Hope I am wrong would love to him tackle characters that were on the drawing board for the line but never came to be.Probably will see a black adam SP figure before Captain Marvel.

        Not WW specifically but female action figures in general. I posted a link to interview with him earlier in this thread where he is asked about making female action figures and goes off on this long bizarre rambling tangent on how buying boys female action figures could lead them into turning into serial killers. The whole thing is just so out there and weird.

        Todd's response to making more female characters. Giving a boy a female action figure can turn them into serial killers.

        Skip ahead to about 38 minutes.

        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 gotta say, I love this thing. THIS is what I wanted in 1984. As much as I loved the Super Powers line then and now, the Supermobile was always a bit disappointing. I know Kenner had concept drawings mimicing the original Corgi/DC design. I'll never understand why they went with the battering ram/meat tenderizer over the fists! I've always loved that original design, from the Corgi, to the comics, to the Super Friends. Yes, the jail cells are laughably small. But the fist mechanism is simple genius. Very satsifying knockign Lex over with them! McFarlane has done a lot of things with the DC license that I don't personally care for, but he did good here.

                            Just curious to see how these showed up, and I'm not getting any kind of ability to order online for delivery. I get a button for "Check availability nearby", and when I click on it, none of my local stores show them in stock...even though I've bought a few of these items there.

                            Hopefully they'll add shipping to home or at least store.

                              These are pretty cool, love Superman but don’t understand why he needed a Supermobile? he fly’s anyway, although I like how he stashes Luthor in the trunk.

                              The Batwing is awesome.

                                The Supermobile was introduced in plot lines involving Kryptonite or Superman losing his powers, also, it's a way of making money.
