McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[monitor_ep]

Over at Toy Habits that got in the exclusive Batman/Superman:

I like the darker shade of the SP Batman. I was tempted to swap head before but looking them side by side the temptation would be hard.

THe recovery suit Superman look good and will look great in a Fortress of Solitude.

It has been reported that Game Stop is putting out the next wave including the short-packed figures

EE is already preparing to ship my Wave 10 Robin figure! Didn't McFarlane just put these up for pre-order on January 24th? Love this turn around time and kudos to EE for getting these in right away! They may be slow with some lines, but surely not with Super Powers.

WWII Justice Society of America keeps growing:

Going to retake pics of the JSA tomorrow.

I just got noticed that my second set will be in tomorrow. These will be used for custom JSA figures:
*Red Lantern Vladimir Sokov
*Hourman II Rick Tyler
*Starman II David Knight

I just opened my MTS box and Lobo is HUGE! It doesn't bother me since I have never been a fan and only got him because it makes more sense to buy the bundle.

The rest are great though. Finally, a Dick Grayson Robin (okay, it's supposed to be Jason, but it has a Carmine Infantino Robin on the card). The Atom is perfect and Jay Garrick will fit in perfectly with the rest of the JSA. I don't regret when I sell off toys, but I probably should have kept my JLU JSA figures. Super Powers is helping me to feel better about it.

I don't have Lobo in hand, but yeah, he looks like he's semi-based on the DCAU animated design from STAS and Justice League, and he's way too tall. Based on discussions I've seen on SP Facebook groups, I don't think anyone is too happy with how Lobo turned out. He's a nice enough looking figure...but not for this line.

Lobo looks like he's from a different line altogether lol.

I already order one Lobo and it will stay in its package. I am going to order one of these two off of Etsy and paint them. Lobo is only 6 foot 4 inches tall. He and Superman fight all the time so why make him that huge?

Somebody got the figures in early, so at least we get to see the final product. I have to agree, not happy with how Lobo turned out.

Update on the crowd funded Bat and Manta vehicles they will ship this week.

[powersthatbe]

learned late they were up for pre order so snagged what I wanted before they sold out.And thanks for the heads up the 6 pack went up for sale again.I don’t know why Todd gives us an advance notice when the 7 inch figures go up but not for SP.

[monitor_ep]

We will see those heads again. I expect to see Bruce Wayne and long hair Superman later this year.

I didn't realize EE had the Superman and Batman available at one point. By the time I got there, the 6 figure set was gone. My order from GameStop has apparently already been processed too, so even if I do see the set again, I probably won't bite.

Keeping up with these action figure releases has really become a chore. I wish the action figure sites and companies did a better job at actually telling us when and where we could order stuff. If Superman and Batman were initally EE exclusives, that should have been common knowledge.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize theyw ere going up today. Missed them on BBTS, but GameStop still had them. Man, these things sell out within hours these days!

It's a PITA. I like BBTS--but, thank you for the Gamestop suggestion.
