I have striped out about five production Green Arrows to date, either for my own
amusement or with friends, and I have not noticed the pilling you mention.

Can you post pictures of what happens?

I can try, I don't know if my camera can pick that up that close, I got to try and get some white gloves as I will not risk doing any more damage then I've have already caused.

That's is exactly what was happening with mine. Within 30 seconds I was getting little pills when I handled him, needless to say I was a little ****ed.

Lynn

same with mine.

Parents will buy a toy with accessories before a toy without. More for their money...and more toy for the kid. Think about it, from a child and parent points of view.

I don't want to be disagreeable, but I have no doubt that Superman will sell very well, accessories or not. No little kid is going to see an awesome Superman figure in the toy aisle, run and excitedly take it off the peg, and then look at it a little bit and put it back saying, "I don't want this. He doesn't have an accessory!"

Here's some my thoughts on this:
1) He could sell very well as there is not much in the way of Superman figures out on the shelves. (I think this the most likely)
2) He could not sell well, because kids today are more familiar with Batman than Supes and may not want him.
3) I don't think he needs an accessory either, but if there was to be one, a pair of Kent glasses could have been cute.

No doubt. A traditional Superman doesn't need any accessories. If Mattel had decided that every figure needed at least one accessory, I doubt it would have been a fake lead box. A phantom zone projector would be cool though:-)

I am with you on this one, Superman does not need any accessories. In addition I have to disagree with Lonnie a little bit (Sorry Lonnie), but my wife and I purposely buy the toys without accessories if at all possible; the reasoning is simple, it's just one more thing to get lost that will upset our kids later and we'll have to spend half-a-day looking for.

Amazon has them all in stock.
Amazon.com: DC Universe World Games

Pretty cool link. You can hit "zoom" and the figure comes at you like Challange of teh Superfriends.

I need to see them in the store.

Superman should have Krypto! ( IF he was going to have an accessory)

[JimCem99]

It should be noted that its not Amazon has them in stock as it says usually ships in 4-5 weeks. Game_city (who's sells them now on ebay) has them in stock on Amazon.

Diamond Solicitated these figures for 26.97 Before Tax..., Right ? If you Bought 1 Green Arrow From Matty,.. and Nothing else..., Wasn't He 28.97 or something Shipped ? If you actually Scene these Hanging on a Peg at Toysrus ( Which I seriously Doubt,.. I will ever,.. atleast not with mine Here) ... Lets say these were infact 19.99 ... + Tax,.. what's that ? 22.50 ?
If so,.. I seriously Doubt that this is that great of a Mark up..., Let alone a Scalper to the Degree that He wants to try and Rip you off .... Looks like His Prices are pretty right on me ... Just Saying ...

Agreed. I'm basically getting them for retail cost WITHOUT having to drive around and look for them. Plus my wife is covering these as part of my Valentines gift...Now isn't that just sweet?

Good for you Tom ....

For an accessory for Superman ..., you guys Know you could probably make a Break-Away Chain for like 5 Bucks at Joan's ... pretty easy.

All I have to say is....Thanks Doc Mego, Emce and Mattel for making this possible. Especially finally having Lex Luthor!

Pilling!

I opened up my GA as soon as he arrived...dressed him up with clothes from the Doc himself and have been having a blast megoing again! Doc...I hope you continue alternate fun stuff to add to the party....still love what you got in the store...and I am going to order more! GA can never have too much stuff at his disposal! However...the new Retro suit is pilling a bit...whereas your suit does not! Maybe darker colors or a more likely a different material may help! Just a suggestion from a BIG fan!

Easter comes early - DC Superheroes on ebay

I saw Lex Luthor, Sinestro, and Superman at DC Comics last week.
The guys at DC only got 2 of each carded and didn't want to open
Luthor or Sinestro.

Because China shuts down for two weeks for Chinese New Year, I
suspect that the figures were shoved onto a boat to avoid any
delays due to the holiday.

Doc, Being that you got to see the Superman retail version at DC comics, can you tell me if it closely resembles that of the Prototype? The Prototype's Superman head is really starting to grow on me and my kids.
