Golly gee whiz, Chief, these are SUPER! I thought Perry White might replace Superboy (maybe in a Legion wave now?) Does Clark have Superman shirt underneath? Wow the entire Daily Planet staff as Megos! Great Caesar's Ghost!

[EmergencyIan]

They look good! The new figures fit right in with the classic Mego Clark Kent.

For an old Superman fan like me, this is very cool. I like the sculpts on Jimmy and Perry. Lois' hair is on point for the 70s version of the character. The ruffles remind me of Margot Kidder for some reason. While not a part of this wave, the K-mart card Superman sports Curt Swan art or a facsimile and that's perfect. Really want to see some villains, now.

Does anyone know if that's Luthor on the Sivana Kresge card?

[palitoy]

It isn't Luthor, it's Mr Myx.

[Brown Bear]

I am soooo excited for this wave! I might have to turn my custom Oscar Goldman office into perry whites office.

*Cue the intro from The Adventures of Superman*

Wow...this is great! I wonder if FTC will make a phone booth?

[Goblin19]

Cool line. Will definitely get Clark. Not sure on the others.

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

Awesome, this is a great line-up. Not a big fan of regular people figures over Super-heroes, but these do look great.

[wise guy]

Originally they showed Superboy with this wave but it looks like Perry replaced him maybe Superboy will be released with Cosmic boy ,Saturn girl and Lightning lad

[The Bat]

Put me down for a Lois Lane!

[JediJaida]

I'll gladly buy Lois, she looks great.

[rodkeith]

Jimmy, Lois and Perry all look fantastic! Ironically, to me Clark comparatively seems the weakest of the bunch.

Looking forward to this set. Then, bring on the transformed Jimmy Olsen variants!!

[ovenmitt]

Perry White needs a jacket like the others or a vest!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Lois looks like the 82 Style Guide art by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez (Praise Be His Name). Which was obviously influenced by Margot Kidder's look in the first film.



These look great. I hate to say it, but I wish they'd update the Clark Kent at some point. Give him a proper blue or white fedora, and a nicer suit. Maybe even a new Curt Swan headsculpt for Supes AND Clark.
