anyone starting to think they are slicing the Super Powers license too thinly?

Not at all...there's only these, the GG jumbo figures, and FTC fist fighters. Batman 66 has way more stuff than this out.

Don't forget Mattel's Releases, Dwayne!

Someone needs to tell them GL's boots are green.

I did forget about those. I think as usual with Mattel, they wasted a golden opportunity. Three good figures, a gold Superman nobody wanted, a non-poseable Mxyzptlk and a color mismatched Riddler.

Mattel can literally screw up anything. LOL

Look at their Batman 66 line. How is it a company like FTC, with far less resources than industry giant Mattel, has already given us the same core characters as Mattel plus stuff like Egghead, Shame, Mad Hatter, opera Joker, etc. It just doesn't make any sense. They still haven't released the Batgirl figure they showed months ago.
Mattel could have made many more figures, the Batcycle, Batcopter, Batboat, Batgirl Cycle...ah what could have been.

I was gonna mention it, but then I thought "Man, I could make a fortune repainting all these things!" LOL

[Hedji]

Huh. Interesting. Wouldn't have seen this coming. Check out the swooshing Superman arm to simulate the motion action Super Power feature.

I would like some Super Power figures... with some actual Super Powers! (at least FTC did fist fighters!)

I wish someone would do the gentle giant route with super powers. I'd love a 12 inch tall copy of the kenner superman and Clark kent

Scott, you've been very busy the last two days haven't you?

[samurainoir]

but other than the Fist Fighting FTC's, WHERE ARE THE SUPER POWERS? To me that's the entire nostalgic point of the line, not just blue packaging with stars.

[ScottA]

For some reason I find these very apealing.

[megoscott]

Scott, you've been very busy the last two days haven't you?

Ask and ye shall receive. That was easy. ! Let me try it again:

I wish someone would give me a new car!

FTC made Mego WGSHs with the Mego Fist-Fighting feature.

Personally? I don't play battle with my figures, so even if I considered Mego's pre-dating Super Powers line FF feature to be a "Super Power" feature, it'd be useless to me.

I love my Mattel DCUC figures because they look like Super Powers figures... at least more than the FTCs do.

I did forget about those. I think as usual with Mattel, they wasted a golden opportunity. Three good figures, a gold Superman nobody wanted, a non-poseable Mxyzptlk and a color mismatched Riddler.

To me? Three neutral repaints (I guess I appreciate that they look more like the figures they're tributing---and I do sincerely like the brightness of retro DC heroes, SP or otherwise), and cool "known-to-hardcore- Super-Powers-fan discussed for YEARS figures---with three distinct "origin" genres: Unreleased planned SP character Myxlpltlk (which looks great, regardless of fixed legs), Unreleased planned SP figure in the form of the Gold Superman which, at the time, would've celebrated the 50 Year Anniversary of Superman character, and the foreign release Riddler whose "color mismatch" was so ugly that it's a trip how they replicated it in this modern figure---it's one of the most fresh and original retro toy tributes I've ever seen IMHO.

Mattel can literally screw up anything. LOL

This only applies to certain fans. I think they do great with many of their choices

Look at their Batman 66 line. How is it a company like FTC, with far less resources than industry giant Mattel, has already given us the same core characters as Mattel plus stuff like Egghead, Shame, Mad Hatter, opera Joker, etc. It just doesn't make any sense.

If this Toy Fair's offerings have shown anything, it's that it ain't over yet. So, until you've shown me Aunt Harriet---I mean the Fat Lady (singing), I'm still hoping for more additions to the 6 inch line.

Their recent Bat Computer/accessories pack reveal was a pleasant shock, and has guaranteed that I'm not buying any FTC '66 any time soon. Maybe when all the dust has settled a few years from now, if Mattel hasn't released a bunch of B-List and C-List '66 Bat-foes, I'll pick up FTC's in one fell swoop.
