Seeing pics of the new Retro 3.75" Marvel Legends makes me wish Hasbro had the DC license as well. Then we could have gotten proper Super Powers line extensions WITH the Kenner logo. The team there gets the aesthetic too.

McFarlane doing Super Powers?

There's a leaked list of series 2 going around. Supposedly it's the Flash, John Stewart and the Batman who laughs. The Batman who laughs!? Seriously? That is grotesque. That character does not belong in Super Powers. Mcfarlane has done the modern grim dark versions to death. Such a pointless waste to put them in a retro line when people have been begging for classic Super Powers figures for years. Oh, well, at least the vehicles looks nice. Wish Hasbro had the license.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

The Batman Who Laughs is the absolute nadir of DC Comics. He's everything that's wrong with the company all rolled into a single image. He's a 15 year old's idea of a cool "DEATH METAL" *******ization of a beloved character. How does he even see through those spikes?
And no, he doesn't belong anywhere near the classic Super Powers brand. Blech.Comment

My fear is this line is destined to fail before it gets started good if they're going to do modern characters like this. McFarlane's 7 inch line is full of all the dark modern garbage. This line should be reserved for classic stuff.Comment

I mean good grief. All Mcfarlane toys had to do was reissue the original figures without the action features. Or re-sculpt them to look even more like the legendary Jose Luis Garcia Lopez style guide. But instead we get more grim dark garbage.

I really dislike that McFarlane has the DC license.
Todd's response to making more female characters. Giving a boy a female action figure can turn them into serial killers.
Skip ahead to about 38 minutes.

Is the Superman showing up on facebook real? Because it looks bigger than the vintage figures. That means the retro vehicles won't be in scale with the original figures.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

thanks for posting the link ,i think he looks great ,cant wait to get one lol
looks close as you could get to the 1984 line
other than as you say the cape and the positioning of the legs ,seems closer together than the originals slightly splayed stance ,even has the same s symbol as the original
as to size hard to say but i think they maybe be in the same size range as the batman 66 line , not a deal breaker for me as long as they make them classic ill keep buying them
fantastic bring them onComment

Reminds me more of the Toy Biz figure than the Kenner one. Like a so-so-copy that's just a bit off. Kind of bootleggy. Also, hopefully the cape is just packed in the bubble like that and not attached that way. Because that don't look great.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.
