Wave 2 Carded

[VintageMike]

Luckily I only care about the characters that have never been made before.
Don't really care about the Batman one way or another as I'm happy with the originals I have. Whatever shortcomings I'm sure kids will eat these up just the way we ate up the original Megos despite their shortcomings at the time. Or won't notice is because they're kids. Which is awesome when you think about it.

Sigh.....

Aquaman is a winner for sure: great outfit and the trident is a plus.
Two-Face is another winner: great sculpt and outfit and it does look like there's a coin under his left foot.
Same goes for Black Manta: nothing to complain about.
And to be honest, I like Batman as well, the removable cowl looks cool to me. His shorts do look a little thonglike, but it's still OK to me. Really cool to see his cape is long. Never had an issue with the boots, they look good to me. I was hoping for a Batarang as accessory, but you can't have it all.
The legs on these do look unchanged from wave 1, even tho Mattel said they'd alter that, guess they didn't after all, that's a bit of a letdown.
And why oh why give Batman a pink card again? Poor Bats

[JDeRouen]

Everything looks good to me. I do, however, wish Two-Face came with his coin!

When do these hit TRU?

[The Bat]

I don't want to be the first one to say it, I really don't. I'm guessing this is the final product we're seeing in these pics, and the Batman removeable cowl did not improve over the proto. That is not a good representation of Batman, not even a little. I really thought there would have been some improvements in the shape of the mask and at the bottom making it look less like a helmet. Major disappointment.

Now, with that out of the way, the rest looks really, really good. That Aquaman is superb, and Manta looks nice too. I'm on the fence with Two face as I was never a fan, but that does look good. It looks like the same bodies, though.

Mixed feeling seeing these overall. I think Mattel really dropped the ball with Batman and that they got it right with Aquaman. I so want to like this line, I really do. Three out of four is a pretty good ratio, but if you mess a character up, don't let it be Batman.

Well, I guess you summed my feelings on these pretty well. Batman still sucks. I still like Aquaman & Twoface........and it's VERY apparent that Mattel made NO CHANGES(thunder Thighs)to the Bodies. Bummer.

I'll be getting all of them. Time to start daily trips to Toys R Us.

You better, Paul! I'll be in Portland the first week of July.

[Remco Monster]

Same crappy body and giant boots. I don't mind the look of Batman's cowl, except for the fact the head/cowl just look too big as a whole.

Only one I will probably buy is Black Manta, and switch the body and boots out quick with Castaway gear.

Cards look great though.

[Hulk]

Aquaman is clearly the winner of the bunch. I am glad batman has the long cape, definitely the best correction, and the removeable cowl is better than I thought (and frankly better than Mego did), but I always preferred the painted cowl better, and I hope they come out with one that really gives us the Neal Adams look. I don't understand why Two Face's hair doesn't meet in the middle. The ridge just looks silly. Is that a gun or coin laying at the bottom of Two Face's feet? Black Manta is fine, he's always been the easiest of the bunch to not screw up.

I love the new wave...I'll have them all...just like the last wave!

I'm pretty excited seeing these come to fruition. I will definitely pick them up. I'm hoping to get them the same way I did the last way- in the wild! I rally enjoyed pulling these off the pegs and taking them to the cashier. If only I could do it in a Kiddie City

I think removeable cowl is just too hard to do. Even Mego had to leave the throat area open in order to get it off and on. I think I would have preferred a painted cowl. That said, I will be buying two.

[ScottA]

Well, I like all 4 and will get all 4. I appreciate them getting done at all and look forward to more waves.

[BlackKnight]

If Batman's cape was better, that cowl would look so much better.

[B-Lister]

that cowl is fine. You're never gonna be able to get it 100% right, because it's just not possible.

and for the record, the reason it looks LIKE a helmet, is because it IS a helmet. Batman's cowl is protective headgear.
