          I'm most digging the Aquaman, nice treatment on the belt and the outfit in general. The trident is really welcome as well.

            I must say, I love the helmet/cowl Batman. I wonder if the belt is removable. Looks like he will appeal to the Batman Brave and Bold kids.

            Aquaman is nice and I can see myself picking up a couple.

            Black Manta may be the coolest though. How many folks will pick up Manta just for the outfit?

              I don't want to be the first one to say it, I really don't. I'm guessing this is the final product we're seeing in these pics, and the Batman removeable cowl did not improve over the proto. That is not a good representation of Batman, not even a little. I really thought there would have been some improvements in the shape of the mask and at the bottom making it look less like a helmet. Major disappointment.

              Now, with that out of the way, the rest looks really, really good. That Aquaman is superb, and Manta looks nice too. I'm on the fence with Two face as I was never a fan, but that does look good. It looks like the same bodies, though.

              Mixed feeling seeing these overall. I think Mattel really dropped the ball with Batman and that they got it right with Aquaman. I so want to like this line, I really do. Three out of four is a pretty good ratio, but if you mess a character up, don't let it be Batman.

                It looks like the legs haven't been fixed. They look bow legged and all look funny in the package. That's the first thing I noticed...

                  I like 'em, much more than Wave 1. I think I'll be getting a Batman, and possibly Aquaman since I had both in Mego form as a kid. The legs do the look the same, but the pelvis looks broader, which helps a bit.

                    Looks good! Pretty sure I will be in the minority here, but I think Batman turned out cool.

                    Looks like the thunder thighs are still there. As I see more of these Mattel figures, the less that bugs me. Hopefully the "floppies" have been fixed, though.

                      Aquaman looks perfect. That's exactly what I hoped to see when I heard Mattel was doing the retro line. Two-face and Black Manta look good as well, but I agree, Batman is a fail. And he was the one I was looking forward to the most.

                        That's what she said. (Sorry, had to do it.)

                          Kind of amazing to me how in 2010 they still can't make action figures look as cool as the original Megos....I'll stick to Mego...but to everyone who likes these i hope you enjoy them!!

                              Aquaman and Black Manta look best to me. Two-Face looks as advertised, and looking forward to getting one. And I can't wait to see 8 different figures on the pegs with two different card colors. It'll be a fantastic sight!

                              Batman will look much improved on a Zica body, but I'm also not thrilled about the head. I think a lot of the problem is that the cowl makes the neck really thick - it's more than half the width of the Torso. Just seems off. But no worse than Supes was. Wish it wasn't needed, but it's fixable.

                              But either way he will look great in a row with my Mego regular, removable cowl, Bilkin, Bilkin Mego custom, and custom Flatt-style Bats. I am super-psyched to get a cowl that has the black-painted front. I'm interested to see if the cowl fits on other heads, too.
