New set of vintage style DC glasses

[VintageMike]

Picked these up today at the "Hall of Heroes" in Moorestown, NJ.
I always stop by there when I'm in the area as they always have stuff like this you don't see that much. My only complaint is they are a little on the small side. They had a Marvel set but I wasn't interested in those due to the newer art style.

Hey! Those are pretty cool! I like what it says on the back of WW's glass!

Yeah, these showed up at my local comic shop, too. The price was cheaper than what the Toon Tumblers are, though these are a little bit smaller. I think it was like $16 for the set of four.

It's official, GL has subplanted Flash as DC's next in line after the trinity.

Those are nice, although, and I hate to say this, I'm getting a bit tired of the Garcia Lopez/Giordano art on EVERYTHING retro. I love their style guide work, but why not reach back into the style guides and give us some Infantino, Anderson, Swan, Gil Kane, Neal Adams?

Nice set of drinking glasses but I would never use them.

I agree...I saw these recently and passed...they seemed too "New" for me

Sorry, but I'd STILL take that Green Lantern glass. It looks awesome.

Just thought I'd bump this in case anyone else bought these and is using them for kids. The AP did a study of the levels of lead in the paint in these glasses and it exceeds the federal limits by hundreds of times:

AP's testing, conducted by ToyTestingLab of Rhode Island, found that the enamel used to color the Tin Man had the highest lead levels, at 1,006 times the federal limit for children's products. Every Oz and superhero glass tested exceeded the government limit: The Lion by 827 times and Dorothy by 770 times; Wonder Woman by 533 times, Superman by 617 times, Batman by 750 times and the Green Lantern by 677 times.
