    For once I cannot find the Super Power lineup and it is driving me crazy. What bothers me the most they are not on the Walmart.com website either.

      Found the new McFarlane Super Powers Batwing at a nearby Walmart. They only had one, and nothing else from the line. I must say I'm really impressed on how authentic this looks next to the vintage Batcopter and Batmobile. It also looks great with original SP figures.The weight and heft of it seems right. It even has "Power Action Features": a trigger-activated capture claw, and the canopy pops open when you press the Bat-symbol. I'm definitely in for the vintage stuff in this line now!

        First time in a while I am having fun toy hunting). Otherwise it's just a chore and the norm nowadays. I wonder if Todd is just teasing us with an unannounced release like this and has a bigger reveal come San Diego.I am sure I will spot something at one of my three or four walmarts that I frequent in the next two weeks) I found the little page punchers at Target this week. Can you see Todd doing a Robot Brainiac ship? or Legion of Doom playset?

          The yellow oval bat symbol on blue makes me happy!

            Nice! And what an awesome collection!
            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...

              Glad to see a non-scalper find something. I've been looking and the only ones I've seen are on ePay. Guess I'll have to try a bit harder; there is no Walmart near me =\

                Checked five different Wal-Marts near me yesterday and only found two New 52 Darksides. That one is definitely destined to peg warm.

                  I know, right? No offense to Mr. McFarlane, but that was a REALLY dumb choice for a figure. The original SP Darkseid was a peg warmer. So, let's repeat that but with a worse design! LOL

                    It's a weird choice, you'd think it would be Wonder Woman but we all know how Todd feels about that.

                      After finding the new McFarlane Super Powers Batwing yesterday, , today my wife and daughter found me a Batman!! I was mixed on this one from online shots, since the Jim Lee look is definitely more modern. But this costume did exist as both the Dark Knight Returns and Year One look in 1986, so I'm letting it slide. I like the figure overall. I have always liked my "darker" Batman figures in midnight/navy blue. Not really sure why McFarlane attached the cape to the blister with a plastic tab. It leaves a permanent hole in his cape.
                      As you can see, he's slightly taller than the classic SP Batman, but still fits in the vintage vehicles. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these Bat-items, and am REALLY looking forward to Superman and especially the Supermobile!

                          As much as I find the figures a little weird, the vehicles are amazing.

                            From AFI, A rumor that an official announcement for the line will be this week.I know it's a modern Lee design,but i like the golden age vibe of the batman figure.

                              The capes bother me on these figures, but that's certainly not a deal-breaker.

Do you view Batman as the Caped Crusader who is an "accomplished acrobat" and "ace crimonologist", or do you view Batman as the Dark Knight, "the ultimate vigilante" who "watched as his parents were brutally killed"?
