McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[MRP]

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.

Yeah the Supermobile and Batwing were on clearance ay my local Wallyworld's.

Thomas Wayne Batman arrives Monday from Amazon. Really looking forward to Whirly Bat.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

[libby 1957dog]

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

[libby 1957dog]

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

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.

Oh I am getting the whirlybat, Batman '89 with Robin and Nightwing! The Flash looks like Wally West Flash.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I'm defintiely down for the 90s Nightwing, Reverse Flash and Black Batman, bascially giving us the Toy Biz figure we saw on the back of the packages, but never released. That Whirly Bat is fantastic looking!
