    The new Batman is great. What the first one should have been. The original figure with slightly enhanced sculpt and paint. Hopefully we'll see more like that. I don't want to see stuff like the Joker with his face cut off in Super Powers.
    I disagree about it being a terrible fit for a Retro line.

    I don't wanna see ALL modern as opposed to classic designs, but I would certainly like to see Damian in this line eventually.

    Batman Who Laughs isn't a bad choice because he's modern, he's a bad choice because he's a terrible design. I'd buy Jaime Blue Beetle, Atrocitus or Arkillo in this line, but this is just ugly.
    Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

            I got my SP swag the other day. The vehicles are great the invisible jet has a zipline grappling hook. Batman is a nice redo of sorts of the original SP figure. The capes are cloth,Like Blis said the Robin should be black and yellow I don't know why it isn't But Ill swap when I find the old one. I might try to pop off the Aquaman head and put on a boss fight studios Flash Gordon head. I do hope this line has legs that they are doing batman like the vintage one is a good sign. I also would like to see 90s(like Total Justice) of Connor Hawke, Peter David Aquaman, Kyle Rayner. Bet they do a Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle.

                as heres the new batman looking like a improvement on the original version

                your mileage may vary lol
                Wow. I'm not even the biggest fan of the backlit cowl look from the comics but, I have to admit that looks surprisingly good...dare I say even an improvement over the original SP Bats.

                    Got a great belated set of Father's Day gifts from my family through the mail yesterday! Love the new Batmobile! Kind of an updated version of the 1964 comic version. Fits right in with the original Super Powers model, the best Batmobile toy ever made! The Invisible Jet is a bit small, but very cool, and reminiscent of the design Kenner proposed for the original Super Powers line, and the Mego CAH version. The new Batman is a near perfect repro of the original with longer ears and a perma-shadow, which is how I wanted him in 1984! I appreciate the Tim Drake Robin, but I wish he had the two-tone cape. Overall, Super-happy with this new assortment! I still need to get Aquaman. I hope McFarlane continues in this direction.

                    I took some pics alongside the vintage Batmobile and carded and loose figures.

                      Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

                      I like that the new Batmobile uses the same plastic as the original and not the softer lighter vinyl type plastic of most modern toys. The new Batmobile feels solid and has some weight to it.
                      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'm defintiely down for the 90s Nightwing, Reverse Flash and Black Batman, bascially giving us the Toy Biz figure we saw on the back of the packages, but never released. That Whirly Bat is fantastic looking!

                                Oh I am getting the whirlybat, Batman '89 with Robin and Nightwing! The Flash looks like Wally West Flash.
