    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.

        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.
          It's all good!

            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.

                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)

                  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.

                    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?

                          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!

                                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.
