McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[Earth 2 Chris]

I'm in for the vehicles, but I personally don't care for the Robin and Aquaman repaints. If they gave Aquaman a new head, and Robin a new head and at least new legs with the booties, I'd be down for them. I appreciate the nod to Filmation, but a long haired-bearded Arthur doesn't jibe with me. The vehicles look great, and honestly I think I like the vehicles in the line better than the figures anyway.

The problem is I had to order all these figures. I did not see the Robin, Black Manta, or this version of Batman at Walmart. I ordered Aquaman but then found one out if town.

Walmart must be tired of the same repaints and vehicles getting clearanced out . This seems like Todd is testing sales online or discontinue the line.
I have the 1984-86 originals and there was only one of each charectors not 10 Batmans etc.

The repaints look to be from the Filmation Aquaman TAS:

Those look great! I especially like the Aquaman and Black Manta with Sea Saucer, but what’s the deal with the black boots on Aquaman?

[monitor_ep]

Well I got the $75 dollar bundle. I have no reason to open these figures just the vehicles unless

I get the $45 vehicle bundle just to repaint them black.

McFarlane Toys to crowdfund two small inexpensive vehicles that could have easily gone to retail with cheap lazy repaints.

McFarlane Toys Super Powers Sea Saucer & Bat Multicraft Collector's Club Drawing Board Crowdfund (toynewsi.com)

Couldn't even sculpt new lower legs for Robin. Yeah, that's not cool. No reason why this stuff needed to be crowd funded.

Waiting on Manga Batman to get clearanced. Plan to buy him up.

it's too bad Mcfarlane won't produce any female figures for this line .

the rest of my order arrived today ,faired a little better condition wise only two creased cards ,the rest are fixable just slightly curved

figure wise this is almost the perfect wave

needed a female non wonder woman figure
and a lazy reuse of old bucks for batman and superman

why not at least swap out the arms or upper legs for a different look

anyway all the new figures booster metamorpho and guy and new to me manta are all excellent additions to the new and vintage line

metamorpho buck smoothed out and stance would be great for superman and capt marvel type figures

roll on the next wave

edit guy is a shrimp in comparison to the rest it really stands out in hand 20240708_143752.jpg

took a chance and ordered a couple of each of the new wave figures from aliexpress and the first lot arrived today ,rest to follow next delivery day monday

they arrived fast but not in perfect condition cards bent up by being individually boxed in slightly undersized boxes
with tax and free postage that arrived in 6 days around $16 a figure
fine for the undemanding or loose collector lol

guy looks great and very accurate to the original aesthetic of the original toy line

other than maybe the head sculpt face mainly being painted flesh rather than cast in flesh tone plastic
batman
nice enough i suppose but not really that interested just the gotta get them all kicking in with me on his inclusion lol 20240706_121214.jpg

Curious question: If Black Manta comes in the same amount as Brainac does how many are you getting?

I plan on picking up as many as I can find to make his Mantamen! Just need a bald head to finish them.

This lineup looks great
