    Other than the Toybiz Batman, those are some pretty dull repaints. A Hal Green Lantern seems like a missed opportunity. Kind of disappointing after such a strong wave.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      well i couldnt hold out any longer
      so i paid my impatience tax via ebay lol

      anyway batman is a great marshal Rodgers come to life
      and the excess fabric on the cape is a easy fix to replicate the original 80s cape

      pop it off fold the excess back on the inside and pop it back on and adjust to preference

      i think the original was made this way but the excess was sewn back in place

      and robin while im not a fan of the head sculpt his cape is a perfect replacement for vintage dr fate

        just to add i cant think of a better classic batman figure you could buy for 10 bucks

        this line and the mego 50th figures are a reasonably priced and a great gateway entry point for kids to the dc characters

        way better than the current comics divisions out put anyway


        and the newer recolored wonder woman looks great and bodes well for and if and when they get around to classic batgirl and supergirl

          Between the new Super Powers Batman, and the new DC Multiverse Knightfall Batman figure, the classic Bronze Age, blue/gray Batman is VERY well-represented. Some of the best Batman figures EVER, in those formats, in my opinion. And I have a room full of Batmans, so I know!

            Yes I got the Knightfall Batman last week and it is an excellent figure. I hope Todd will veer away from making the classic looking characters hard to find "gold label" and more easier to come by.

              after paying my impatience tax and being thrilled to find out the newer capes are great replacements for the vintage figures

              i was delighted to find the packaging is a great way to store and display your loose vintage figures

              even if you dont dig the newer versions 10 bucks for a replacement cape and a display storage option is a gift lol

                New Peacemaker 3-pack featuring classic comic versions of Peacemaker, Judo Master and Vigilante (Adrian Chase)look great. McFarlane is going deep in the bench, especially with Judo Master.

VIGILANTE™ Real name: ADRIAN CHASE A master of all forms of unarmed combat, VIGILANTE™ is also an expert in the use of firearms and knives. He is in superb physical …

                  Just saw they are doing a Whirlybat helicopter as well. Looks great

                    I pre-ordered the latest figures from McFarlane Toy Store. I don't really want Flashpoint Batman or New 52 Superman, but the package deal after using a couple is less that $6 more than everything without those two figures from Amazon, so I went with it.

                    I have to find a spot for these. I am sure they will make for a nice display.

                      I order 2 of the Peacemaker set. I am so happy to be getting Charlton Heroes in action figures.

                      Oh and I ordered the Whirlybat. I hope to find another at a Walmart for Robin. This was one that was in the planning stages with the original Super Powers:whirlybat.jpg

                        I saw the Batmobile and the invisible jet at my local Walmart, earlier in the week(didn't see the batwing or Supermobile anymore, clearance?) No new figures yet there on the pegs, but my orders are processing now from BBTS.

                                Hoping for new reveals this weekend at New York Comic Con. The last announced wave was just redos(except the 3 pack). Still betting to see Blue Beetle and Dr. Fate( Todd seems to like Kent in his toys,a soft spot I guess as he was one of the first DC characters he drew).
