      Two-Face has exceeded my expectations. Very nice.
      Batman...meh, looks a little dorky with that big ole melon head.
      I had to photoshop it real quick to see how well he would customize...whaddya think-

        I cannot say I approve of Batman's cowl--it's too thick & I dislike the painted shading.

        But the rest of the figure is nice & the other figs look great! I'm very pleased to see Aquamn & Manta...

        I wonder if a repro vintage-type cowl might accessorize Batman better? (Nice "custom", Noelani.)

            I to am definitly not a fan of the batman

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.

              They look great. I like them all. Only getting Aquaman, Black Manta and Two-Face.
              Pass on Batman even though he's my favorite super hero. Looks like a Chippendales dancer to me. LOL Must be the pose.

                Aquaman and Two-Face are my favorites of this Wave. Like the card color choice as well.

                  didnt doc do a repro bat cowl like the original retro 1... if folks want to redo it then could use that

                  legs on bats does looks like hes squatting for a pooh i suppose
                  but i think it still looks like a tidy moc

                  more i look at aquaman the more i like it

                  hmm looks like ill have to buy that 1 and go back on the fact that i said i would never buy another retro action figure

                  that aquaman is too good to pass

                    Aquaman looks like a little kid. His face is not crime fighter like at all.

                        Per Doc, I believe it's a resculpt (hair/ears) of the original.

                        The peachy skin tone does make him look younger, though.

                          that cowl is fine. You're never gonna be able to get it 100% right, because it's just not possible.

                          and for the record, the reason it looks LIKE a helmet, is because it IS a helmet. Batman's cowl is protective headgear.

                            If Batman's cape was better, that cowl would look so much better.

                                I'm pretty excited seeing these come to fruition. I will definitely pick them up. I'm hoping to get them the same way I did the last way- in the wild! I rally enjoyed pulling these off the pegs and taking them to the cashier. If only I could do it in a Kiddie City

                                I think removeable cowl is just too hard to do. Even Mego had to leave the throat area open in order to get it off and on. I think I would have preferred a painted cowl. That said, I will be buying two.
