    Super Powers Micro Figure 3 Pack 2016 SDCC Exclusive

    was going to post this in the jumbo figures thread but thought as its so close to the show and might get missed ,quickest way to bring this to everyones attention who might want to get in on this was its own thread



    Super Powers Micro Figure 3 Pack 2016 SDCC Exclusive
    In 1984, Kenner began to release the next of their extremely popular action figure lines, the DC Super Powers Collection! This line included heroes such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and many, many more. Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to announce the DC Super Powers Micro Figures San Diego Comic Con Exclusive 3 Pack as the newest offering in this stunning line of retro figures. This Exclusive 3 pack includes Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. These Micro Figures were created using state of the art 3D technology. Gentle Giant Ltd. has taken the original DC Super Powers action figures and created a highly accurate micro digital model with the use of 3D scanners. This digital model was then scaled down to 2 inches tall and printed using top of the line 3D Systems printers. The DC Super Powers Collection Micro Figures – Series 1 from Gentle Giant Ltd. will be made from high quality PVC plastic. Many of the figures will also include fabric capes and accessories. Finally, these incredible figures will feature retro art packaging, and come in a protective re-sealable blister pack.
    Price:
    $8.00

    of course ,not to sound too self serving if anyones going to sdcc and could hook me up with a set or two or knows how to get these to the uk please let me know

    Do they have any articulation?
    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...

        wouldn't have thought so ,but you never know your luck lol
        honestly at 2 inches tall cant imagine it would be of much use but would be extra cool if they had ,they just look so great in the packaging that i don't mind so much if they dont

          I hope Gentle Giant makes a Secret Wars 3pack with Iceman, Electro, and Constrictor.

              These 2 inch figures would probably display great with the Imaginext Hall of Justice playset. Maybe I'll get one and paint it yellow to match the Kenner Super Powers Hall of Justice.

                  What irks me a bit about Gentle Giant is their "prototypes" are actually photoshops of vintage figures. The real micros look nothing like that. They kind of remind me of board game pawns in the pictures I've seen.

                  Link to pictures. Yeah just a smidge different from the photoshops. Wonder Woman is especially bad.

                        Oh wow. I'm glad I saw these pics before I bought these. I would have been seriously disappointed if I had ordered these figures based on Gentle Giant's photoshopped pictures, then received them in the mail and found out what they really looked like. Yeesh.

                          Geez, what a bait and switch! For the prices GG charges, they need to be upfront with what the finished products look like. Check out those capes! Not SP-like at all. Wonder Woman looks like Scooter from the Muppets!

                            ^^^ My thoughts exactly. It seems like these "Cons" live up to their namesake sometimes.

                              Gentle Giant has never been super honest about their "prototypes" but I think this is probably their worst.
