13th Dimension maven Dan Greenfield tasked me with ranking the Top 13 Classic Super Powers figures. I think I agonized over this more than most people wrestle with their Last Will & Testament. But whether you agree with me or not, at least you get to marvel at the gorgeous SP images created by our own Dwayne (enyawd72) Pinkney! Dwayne graciously agreed to allow us to run his photographic masterpieces along with the article.

I'm especially fond of the later Samurai and Golden Pharaoh figures, but I think you chose well. Spot-on regarding Aquaman.
As much as I love all things Penguin, the SP version disappointed me in being very obese and dressed in a blue coat. Great weapon, though!WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -

Great read! I always like your list articles and the point you made about Green Arrow bringing out the best in toy manufacturers made me chuckle because "so true". Also, so cool to see Dwayne's "Super-photography" used in the article.
I was just aged out of toys when Super Powers came out so there has never been a drive for me to pursue the line as a collector. However, seeing the new Supermobile made me track one down and now I am kind of wanting a few of the Kenner figures like Aquaman and Green Lantern.Comment

Great read
I would have nudged Dr. Fate in there, but there are so many great figures in this line.
I'm only missing a few - Cyborg of course - but will complete one day.
I have also got all three of the first new wave and both vehicles....The new supermobile is a MUSTComment

The SP WW is a great sculpt and the first time I saw molded long hair really done right.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...Comment

One thing I never understood was why Cyborg was included in this line. He was a Teen Titan, NOT a Justice League member! I'll stand by that to the end...LOL.

Doctor Fate, Joker, and Mr. Freeze I like better than Lex. But a pretty good job getting all the heavy hitters in there.
