Micro Superpowers

[Figuremod73]

I just found out about these and hear that they are at Walgreens. Haven't been there to confirm though. Going to check it out first chance I get.

I'm not hearing good things about this set.

It's a great idea (making minis as opposed to jumbos for nostalgic lines like SP)... but their SP photoshops are false advertising, using the actual Kenner figures instead of the actual GG shoddier molds product.

Gentle Giant have made stupid decisions before with their Star Wars jumbos... but THOSE stupid decisions (like adding textures to Bossk's face that weren't there in the original) I was always okay with because IMHO they didn't make the figure ugly.

This is just crossing the line IMHO... and I hope they learn from the poor feedback whether they sell well or not.

I'm sold on them. I haven't seen the originals in many years. Hope whatever complaints are made about them are resolved.

Holy bait and switch Batman!

Unfortunately the actual micros look nothing like the photoshopped "prototypes."

the only bad paint job i've seen so far is a robin. his mask was where his mouth should be. flash and lex look great in person

Gentle Giant, for the most part, is a really crappy toy company. I like a lot of their jumbo figures, but some do have issues and they are insanely over priced. I have always thought their Star Wars busts are total junk.

The micro SP only have neck articulation, and the capes are beyond bad.

Went to my Walgreens but they weren't there. Maybe it's soon for them. I did see the Secret Wars bobbles and came close to getting the Spidey but thought the better of it. Rather it was a replica of the original figures, without the big head.

I got mine yesterday.
And the capes really need fixing but overall I like them.
I removed mine from the stands and to me greatly improves them.
Would be great if they were fully artulated and the capes were fixed tho.

They are super, super, super tiny.



You don't really get how small they are until you see them in person. They are like board game pawns in size. GG should have been honest with their "prototype" images of these, instead of using actual Super Powers figures, because they are cool for what they are. They just don't look remotely close to what GG had advertised.

I finally found 3 of the 5 and I'm overall pretty happy with them. I think that maybe they could have been a dollar cheaper. I see what you guys are saying about the advertising, gotta do a little better there.

I'm hoping it continues into a second wave because I'm really wanting Green Lantern, Darkseid, Wonder Woman, etc.

I'm keeping them on card, hung up on the wall. The card art is part of the appeal to me.

[Figuremod73]

Oh yea, I cant wait to see the giant, original superpowers, and these minis side by side in photographs.

You can get Superman and Wonder Woman in the 3pk from SDCC this year.
I scored the set for 17.00 shipped.

I picked up Robin. I think Flash And Lex are the best so far.
