Batman, Aquaman, Two-face, Black Manta

Thanks for the link, Chris!

That Batman cowl reminds me of the plastic one that came out in the 1960s.

Yeah, that's what it reminds me of too, I like that.

I cannot bring myself to complain about Wave 1 or Wave 2, I'm just too excited! Bring'em on!

So do I!

I backtracked from Chris's link and found pics of new JLU figures, including a sweet Brainiac, Firestorm and a new Superman with the bottled city of Kandor. Oh, and new Red Sox baseball players from McFarlane.

I guess I should start saving and making room now.

A year ago we had nothing but rumours and hope, now look at the embarrassment of riches this toyfair has brought us, this is an incredible time, I find it hard to pick apart anything.

I've found the last 10 toy fairs boring and disappointing, I can't believe what today has brought.

You said it! This is kinda off topic, but I've been to five or six TFs, only one of those was way back when (um, the early '90s way back), the rest over the last half decade, and what I've seen here just blows all of them away. Not just the Mego style figures or my beloved Universal Monsters, but kid-dreamlike stuff such as a rocket firing Boba Fett, or a Super Powers style Lex Luthor vs MOTU Skeletor 2 pack? CRAZY and FUN! I don't collect much of this, but I sure do appreciate it. Can't wait for more pics of the smaller companies displays. I actually wish I'd gone this year, even w the snow and the fact that the lady pal would not be happy were I in NYC again without her on St. Valentine's day.

It seems for the most part many of us are unimpressed when a WGSH is remade, but we're overjoyed when a new character appears.

I think it's because when a new character is made we have nothing to compare it too.

I'm not 100% overjoyed about how this line is going, but I still have a lot of high hopes.

Some more pics here. Now I think Batman and Bruce are two different heads.

If it is a cowl, it's the tightest one ever made, which is a good thing.

And it DOES resemble the Ideal Batman play-cowl. I have one!!!

It looks like he has the mego batbelt and outfit. I think if the mask fits a little higher up everything will be fine. These are just prototypes, I am sure the final product will be better. Thin the head a little and adjust the cowl, Bam good job.

Wow....that close-up makes it clear...Batman looks like a dork with that cowl. Yeah it resembles the Ideal cowl from the 60s, but hell this ain't the 1960s. I would have rathered they didn't try and emulate Mego's RC idea if that's the best they can do with today's technology. Batman may very well be the weakest link of this line IMO.

It's two heads. And I'm willing to bet that one will be a variant and probably shortpacked.
