Batman, Aquaman, Two-face, Black Manta

[The Toyroom]

And as for Batman, it's in the Super Friends style and has a removable cowl, can't get much better than that.

Actually I think they COULD be better.....

[megocrazy]

I'm actually kinda pleased with the character selection. I've always thought Aquaman was kinda lame but love the Black Manta choice. Two Face is good, to me, because quite frankly he's new. I have Joker and Riddler. I can see where new kids that don't have a Joker or Riddler would prefer more popular choices but as a collector I like it. And as for Batman, it's in the Super Friends style and has a removable cowl, can't get much better than that.

I love these. I hope everyone doesn't keep complaining about these. It's really tiresome when I am sooo excited for them.

Ya what the Bear said.... I need more photos of this next wave

I hear you Jason and totally understand. I agree about that 9-inch Aquaman and the GL by the way. A great modern interpretation of a young Hal.

Those are probably my favorite mass-market super-hereo figures ever.

The 13-inch DC Direct figures are nice, but they are a bit big and the articulation while good isn't that natural. Plus they are too expensive.

My biggest complaint the new figures other than the size of GL's head is their poseibility. The set I bought when you bend them at the knee, they don't hold the pose well. The arms are better. They hold their pose well.

While I would have rather have had a Flash and a Captain Cold first, the Manta looks good to me and Aquaman is very megoish, and I like Two-Face a lot better than Riddler and Penguin.

I'm going to support this line because. they really got a lot of it right. And I don't think kids will notice any of the the picky things that I've complained about or others.

If I can find another GL and Sinestro at retail, I'm going to put the GL suit on him to have a GL corps Sinestro.

I don't mind the Black Manta.

My oldest is geeking over Batman's mask being removable almost as much as I am. We're in for at least 3. Gloves cuffs will probably be exchanged on mine. Can't wait to see better pix.
Oh and course, the body has to go.

Actually it's a Bit more than that..., to be honest Terry.
After Talking to the Seller that Has the 1st Wave on Ebay,.. and getting him to seperate the 1st Wave of figures..., I did Purchase Green Lantern and Sinestro..., (Waiting for them to come in the Mail) , to check out and add to the Ever so growing BK Lantern Shrine..., and to support the Idea of these. I Really Had No interest in Superman , GA Nore Luthor. To Be Honest,.. I can't Stand Luthor as Superman's Go-To Villian to begin with.

Black Manta, and Two-Face are just Lack Luster characters for me. I just have no interest there either. Not too Keen on the Look of Batman , and I really think the 9inch Aquaman was the Best Inscale to almost Mego representation of the Character on a Production run.

I dunno Man,.. with all do respect to everyone Envolved in the Project, hats Off..., I just wanted More ..., Since obviously these are not Mego,.. and it is 2010..., I want more as a Customer.

Yeah I have to agree with you Jason. After I've had a few days to digest these and then see the new selections for Wave 2, my excitement has died down considerably. The back snap on my Sinestro has already broken and I didn't even do anything to it! I'm past annoyed at the custom jobs people HAVE to do on the bodies because, quite frankly, Mattel should have had the bugs worked out before they started mass producing them. Exactly how hard is it to make an eight inch figure that can stand up straight? Hasbro's efforts with the 9 inchers are superior to these...and they cost less too. Mattel will need to come down on price beause the quality is not there, especially since they all pose like they ate some bad chicken...

Jason,

I can understand why you feel that way because the figure you and other customizers here make look so much more like the characters in the comics, but to me it's really neat to get a Sinestro, Luthor, Black Manta and Two-Fact that should have been made in 1978.

Glad to see they are making some different figures.Black Manta and 2 face are cool choices.

[Surfsup]

Very exciting to see Two Face and Black Manta, they all look really cool!

Are there plans to release any Marvel figures in this line at some point?

[MIB41]

Need a close up of the batman mask. Can't make out much in that shot. Looks like it isn't sitting on his head right. Disappointed there was no Flash... Oh well. The wait continues.

What I most excited about is giving these to the kids of my friends and great nephews and even nieces. To me 8-inch figures are the perfect size for play. The original GI-Joes and Johnny West's were too big and Star Wars figures were cool because of the vehicles but were too small to me.

I was too old — or thought I was for Small Joes and Super Powers — to play with them.

[Gorn Captain]

I like them all, but Batman needs an upper body work-out!

Two-Face. Yeah!!!!

[The Toyroom]

Wave 1 definitely had more pizazz about it....

Maybe better pics are in order before complete judgement is passed though.....
