    Mattel brings back Super Powers!?

    If only they were in classic scale.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        Ugh, I just noticed they are Matty Collector exclusives.

        I would buy every single one if they were in classic scale and not Matty Collector exclusives.

              It's to finish off the Mattel DCU line and celebrate the 30th anniversary of Super Powers. Mattel's not redoing the whole line, just a few characters. SUperman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Riddler made from a Green Lantern buck, a gold Superman, Mxy and Kalibak.

                Neat with the packaging but honestly Mattel burned their bridge with me on the Retro Actions. Plus with what they did with the MOTU Classics blow outs I'd be hard pressed to drop starting MSRP on these. Don't get me wrong, as long as I still have my daughter and wife Mattel will still get some of my money where they are getting it right: Barbie, Monster High and Ever After High. My action dollars however are going Re-Mego first and then retro 3&3/4 second.

                    Any news is good news.

                    Guess my wallet won't be that hurt after all.

                      When I saw these are the only figures they will be releasing, I lost most interest. I may get one. Wish they were doing a Green Arrow.

                        Why is Riddler so ripped? I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pass on these.

                          It's an homage to the Super Amigos Riddler which was a Green Lantern repaint.

                            Got all excited when I first saw this but after reading about what they are actually doing the excitement quickly subsided.

                              Recarded dcuc? Economical and a fun idea, but total cash grab and not at all what they should have done. It would be the perfect platform for a 3 3/4 line.....
