Saw this ad on AliExpress/temu and got to thinking I would buy several sets of the knockoff Super Powers so long as they fit it. Same it's just an AI ad. PXL_20241103_203503403.jpg
I received these the other day, along with The Riddler and Black Suit Batman. All nice figures. Superman is still not quite classic Super Powers Supes, as he is bigger than the second Batman, which feels the closest to a vintage SP, but he fits nicely into the growing SP display, and with a foot hole, I can safely peg him to a stand and keep first release Superman, he without a foot hole for a peg, safely in the Supermobile.
I was going to start up creating a Fortress of Solitude so I can put the Superman costumes on display, so I may wait till next year on that shelf.
Taking this from twitter:
Back when Kenner Super Powers came out they cost $3.88 to $4.99 each not 40 years later McFarlane's Super Powers cost $9.97. That is not bad for inflation prices. Gotta give it to Todd McFarlane for releasing this at an affordable price. vintage ad.jpgFhlbimVXkAEgj6W.jpg
There is a leaked rumored wave out of Mcfarlane toys coming up and includes Super Powers BUT it seems this wave is based on the next Superman movie. And there is a Fortress of Solitude playset listed BUT again from Superman movie 2025.(
That first McFarlane "HUSH" Batman or the current "Dark Knight" kind of work. The Golden Age Batman never had the pouch belt, but the DK Batman has the large bat symbol like Joe Staton gave him in the 70s comics. I would like to see a proper GA/Early Silver Age Batman with short ears, small capsult belt, and perma-shadown on teh cowl. And of course a First Appearance/Detective #27 Batman too.
The longer short WW with her hair tucked under her tiara and maybe a removable cloth skirt would be great as well.
