McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[monitor_ep]

I need to get at least one more for Robin or Nightwing to ride.

I am thinking about getting another one to repaint in black to add to the Batman '89 collection.

It's a great toy! That Whirly-Bat design was also used in the comics. Since Dick Giordano designed the similar 78/80s Batmobile that was the inspiration for the Super Powers car (and also seen in the Super Friends beginning with Challenge), he may have designed this Whirly Bat. Or, it could have been Walt Simonson, who drew the issue it debuted in (as far as I know) Batman 312 (inked by Giordano).

The Whirly-Bat goes back to at least the late 1950s, and was prominent in a number of Golden Age adventures. That’s great artwork by Simonson, though.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, but the old design was pretty primitive, with it's large scallopped fin. I still love it, though. This new design, as far as I know, debuted in Batman 312.

[Krypt0nite]

That’s a good point. I had forgotten how different the two designs are.

Orange -- I have (most I have duplicates of to make Bizarro versions)
Black -- Do not have the desire to add them to my collection.

Got in the The Flash v2 & Batman 89.

The Flash reminds me of those issues after COIE where Wally wore his Flash costume, but it was a darker shade of red.

Batman '89 was part of my early adulthood. Spent more money than I should have on Batman merchandise, and to be truthful I have no idea where it all is.

I have everything that has been released except The Batman Who Laughs, Justice Lord Superman, Zur-En-Arrh Batman, Gold Flash, Gold Batman, and Reverse Flash (only because I cannot find him). A few I have, like Flashpoint Batman and New 52 Superman, came in MTS bundles because it was cheaper that way, but I have no idea what to do with them.

As I re-do displays, I need to make a dedicated on to McFarlane Super Powers. I've only opened the Batwing, Supermobile, and first release Batman and Superman (I had to put someone in those rides!), and they are just hanging out in no man's land right now.

Just letting you know, the Brainac Skull Ship is showing up on shelves now. PXL_20240207_170358264.jpg

I found two of them in Houston and picked them up. I also cancelled my pre-order when I got home. Two is more than enough.

I wish I knew what box my original Super Powers Brainac was in but somebody over at Twitter/X posted one:

This looks so good!!!

From twitter/x @BeyondUbernerd

This is 3 Batcaves: Batman '89 , Batman '66, 3-in-1 bottom base Batcave holding the Batwing.

I like this idea and have all three of these batcaves. I also have other Batman playsets that my nephew has outgrown that I am going to start to figure out how to use on a new shelf. Since McFarlane love releasing Batman Family & vehicles I may as well make room for them.

Yeah I ordered one set. So my checklist is getting closer to completing.
Red = have
White = preorder
Black = don't want

If Todd is doing unproduced vehicles, maybe he will do like a 3 pack of Quadrax Silicon and Rocketman.

Personally, I would love to see Joker and the Jokermobile get released.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, I feel that was the toy that was the closest to getting made, given how many appearances it made in the mini-comics. I just hope the Joker is classic, and not some dreadful modern interpretation with his face cut off and reattached.

[TrekStar]

Didn’t they make a Shazam? I could swear I’ve seen it, unless I am mistaken. Super Powers Shazam??

[monitor_ep]

Kenner did release a Captain Marvel/Shazam figure.

I hope McFarlane does Shazam and Black Adam.
