Wave 2 Carded

[Raydeen1]

Hey folks.
I don't think these are final production pieces. I think they're test shots for the cards. I could be wrong but Batman's cape is unstitched and his arms are still baggy. I don't hate mask. I don't love it but it's DEFINITELY Mego-esque. Aquaman looks the best IMO though he looks a bit more like Aqualad. Those legs REALLY need to go. Mego had issues, we all know that and it's one of the reasons we love them so much but man these legs are just horrendous. No excuse for them.
I showed my oldest and he was happy with all of them but hates the glove cuffs and thinks Aquaman looks too young. Other than that, and the bowed, rather silly looking legs, he was happy with them.

Twoface is definitely going to be on my monitor as far as this line goes. Not impressed with the Batman figure...and I'm not much of a fan of Manta. Aquaman does look like Aqualad more than Aquaman....But Twoface will be a definitely pickup.

I think I'm done with these. I appreciate all the work Doc has put into them, but the skinny-waisted bodies are just so lousy and some of the design choices so perplexing that I can't buy them any more... well, maybe Superman-related characters. Especially not at $25 each.

While I can understand the love for him, Aquaman looks like his lunch money is routinely stolen and he's always picked last in gym class games. Seriously, I look at him and wonder, "Is this some kind of joke?"

While I wish the line continued success, I honestly think the Hasbro DC Superheroes from ten years ago were nicer.

They look awesome! Bring on wave 3!!! (I know, I’m greedy! )

Anybody know when these are scheduled to hit the shelves? July?

I really wish they would have switched Two Face's shoes. They're on the wrong feet.

And, I really wish Aquaman's hair was parted on the other side. Everybody knows he parts his hair on the left.

And, I really wish Black Manta's suit wasn't so black. I mean I know Black is in his name but it was a dark blue on Challenge.

And, I really wish they used the Mego sculpt of Batman. I mean come on that was a PERFECT representation of Batman. The quintessential look IMO

And, I am not liking the way they have the characters on the card back. I think having the villain on one side and the heroes on the other doesn't look right. They should either switch Manta with Aquaman or 2 Face with Bats. Then I will like them.

(^^^^Tongue planted firmly in cheek!)

They look great! Thanks Doc and Mattel.

I will probably get 2 of each. One to display in package and the other to open.

They look awesome.

Two-Face is my favorite of the bunch. I don't like the big moon boots on Batman and Black Manta so I'll probably replace them.

[The Kryptonite Kid]

Aquaman gets my vote for best of the bunch. I still wish that the cards would have been individually colored. I'll be scoring a few anyhooo..

[geoffdude]

Nah, at least 4 more waves to come, guaranteed.

1 more wave "guaranteed".. maybe.

"committed" has a different meaning than "guaranteed"

Wow, those look great to me.

[Zemo]

ok...we get it. Enough already.

No kidding.

Also I love all the BM complaints, he will be the hardest to find lol.

[geoffdude]

Well, I guess you summed my feelings on these pretty well. Batman still sucks. I still like Aquaman & Twoface........and it's VERY apparent that Mattel made NO CHANGES(thunder Thighs)to the Bodies. Bummer.

I tried to get firm confirmation that the legs would be fixed (as I doubted they would) in threads past.. but could NEVER never get it. Which to me just affirmed that they were never fixed. So, no real surprise here.

Point counter point.. don't like it? Don't read my post, simple.

Doubt it. He'll be packed the heaviest in the case assortment probably. They're not packing even cases anymore.. or so we were told.

Batman will probably end up being the easiest to get.
