McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[TRDouble]

I had a hard time finding the Fleischer Superman from this wave. When I ordered the four new characters online, Superman and Batman weren't available. I saw the DKR Batman once, but didn't see Superman until two weeks ago and snagged him. It does seem odd they are anchoring these waves with Superman and Batman, but apparently shortpacking them now. I still see Justice Lords Superman and Bat-Manga everywhere.

I got lucky and found Fleischer Superman and DKR Batman very early at Target. It was odd because the only other Super Powers figures there were Metamorpho and Booster Gold.

Since then, I have only seen the latest wave at GameStop, and only Black Manta and Guy.

Found the new Batman and Superman figures. Love Gamestop, Got one for $5 and the other for $9.50. I need to work on my Fortress of Solitude so I can showcase the Super Man costumes.

The stands can be bought on Amazon. I need to get another set next month.

It is funny how it's said that Mcfarlane is making too many Bats and Supes figures but they end up being the hardest to come by.(The only one I have never seen on the pegs is Hal.) Of this wave Guy seems easiest to come by. When I went to WM today a fresh set of this wave was on the pegs.

Wow If I didn't already have 2 sets of these I would have picked them up. Surprising there were NO Batman/Superman on the shelf.

For 3 pack ideas I'd like to see a Quardrax,Silicon and Rocketman and Orion, Mr. Miracle and Lightray. Single cards like Creeper, Black Lightning, Simonson Manhunter, Blue Devil, Kobra, Black Canary Power Girl to name a few.

Let's talk about future figure ideas: Captain Ray

Since it seems that we are going to get a Superman in each wave and they are borrowing the bootleg Riddler idea, why not include Captain Ray?

I would love to see Mcfarlane make Green Arrow Longbow Hunter.

I would guess that is the sale son the 7 inch one one McFarlane just released are good they might consider it, if not I doubt they would try it in a second line.

So glad I waited on buying a Superman figure....I never liked the newer looking sculpts. This latest one looks great.

I also didn’t notice Green Arrow either, but I’m hoping he will be added in a future wave, maybe with Shazam and Black Adam?
What about Alter-Ego’s? I absolutely love these Super Powers figures, so many more characters can be made and vehicles too.

First Amazon has Booster Gold.

Riddler - I can understand why he went with this but would have liked to have an original figure.

There has been a lot of speculation about doing the Kryptionian black suit. At least it would make since and could add an actual suit that has shown up on the Fortress Of Solitude.

I've seen Booster on Amazon, I just prefer buying toys in person. It's the experience of getting the toy not the possessing of it that is most important to me, and ordering online just isn't as much fun. I'll order onlline as a last resort, but I prefer to keep looking for Booster in person right now. I do have him marked on my wish list though, should I change my mind.

And thanks for the update on the Black Suit. If it is that suit, I may get it-Supes is actually using a very similar suit design currently in the comics as part of the Absolute Power event (where he and most of the DC Heroes are currently powerless).

Better images from McFarlane. I looked at the turnaround of Bizarro and it looks like it didn't have the S backwards, hopefully that is fixed.

Capt. Marvel & Black Adam seem obvious choices.

Penguin is a long shot, regarding tooling.

Boy, would I love to see a Dr. Cyber for WW.

[monitor_ep]

Super Powers/Toybiz Joker and Penguin are easily available on Ebay. Shazam & Black Adam I would buy. McFarlane stated he doesn't want this line to just rerelease the older figures but to offer figures that would fit in if the line would have contained.

That being said McFarlane has a deep love with Batman. Will never understand why he release The Batman that laughs. He also agrees with Mattel (JLU) in those parents/grandparents will only notice Batman & Superman.
