    More pics. Everything looks really good. The new Wonder Woman is just a repaint in Super Powers colors and Batman looks VERY close to the original SP figure.

    New Non-Walmart Exclusive McFarlane DC Super Powers Products Up For Pre-Order
    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 have to give Mcfarlane toys credit, they are really course correcting on the line. That new Batman with style guide retro card art is what you expected when you think of Super Powers. The first Batman was an ugly oddly proportioned mess.

          Yeah the first wave was a bit odd, like the original Kenner figures are widely regarded as some of the best figures made. So if you're going to slap that brand on something, it's going to get judged. This new wave feels like the Super Powers but tweaked for today's sensibilities. Really nice job.

            I wish Tim had the two-toned cape with the black on the outside, but that's a minor niggle. These are very nice figures. I agree, they've hit the aeshtetic pretty good now. The Batman almost looks like a repaint of the original figure! I always missed his perma-shadow on the Mego and Kenner SP Batman figures, so this is a welcome addition. The vehicles continue to impress.

              That cape on Tim is ***.

                  A classic Curt Swan supes in carolina blue, with a bold black outline around the S would look outstanding.

                    Maybe with slightly longer bat ears?

                    I hope they continue with slightly updating and repainting the Kenner sculpts and it would be nice if they'd eventually do a new more Kenner accurate Sups as well. Their first one was kind of a mess and more Toy Biz than Kenner. Not as bad as the first Batman but still not great.

                      Black Manta is going to be a Walmart exclusive.

                      He looks great right out of the Super Friends cartoon.

                        ^Nice! I noticed him on the cardbacks. Let's get a Super Friends-like Solomon Grundy!

                          If Black Manta is a Walmart exclusive maybe Reverse Flash is a Target exclusive? Man, Mcfarlane stuff really sells out fast, at least at BBTS that I can see.

                            Love the Batman and WW looks cool but Robin is a bit too modern looking. Aquaman is okay. I wish they looked more like the classic line. Superman was a bit of a miss for me.

                              Those of you following this thread... just noticed they have the four figures from the new wave (Batman, Robin, Aquaman and Wonder Woman), plus the Batmobile and Wonder Woman's invisible plane, up for pre-order on the McFarlane website. Wonder Woman's invisible plane is sold out as a single, but you can get it in the lot if you want everything.
