McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[PNGwynne]

I received my set today. A mixed bag: Cyborg looks good, but the rest are just redecoed bucks with soft, inaccurate detailing.

Deadman--a favorite of mine--fares the worst. No proper pointed boots, so he looks like he's wearing ballet shoes, painted on. And that painting--red and burgundy would have looked better than the orange and red McF chose.

For Gold Label, I expect figures less phoned-in.

This line is strange. On one hand some of the figures are absolute home runs. Others are full of baffling mistakes or artistic choices that keep things from being perfect.

It’s a budget line so some of it is excusable but it is a shame a bit more care wasn’t put into it in general. I think had these been done a bit better this line could have been even more popular.

I agree the quality of the line has been a bit all over the place. As you said, the low price point makes it more acceptable, but it's still a shame that the entire line didn't look like the second Batman, Hal Jordan, Alan Scott and Cyborg who really look like they stepped out of the Kenner line. The fact that the Kenner figures look better than 75% of the new line is a real testament to how fantasticly well-made that series really was. Holds up better than most stuff made today.

Still waiting on my Cyborg/Nightwing wave to arrive. Hopefully soon.

Sounds like it was a good thing I missed out on the figures.

Got my Wave 11 set yesterday. Haven't opened them yet, but first thoughts: Cyborg is excellent, one of the best figures in the line, and he looks close enough to the original to satisfy my 39-year longing to own one. I'll keep my mortgage and car payments, thanks.

I'm especially glad to have original (I won't call it disco) Nightwing, since I wanted one back in 1984. But the quality of him and the other three are just average, not great. But I'm glad to have them, and since they are inexpensive, as others have said here earlier, I can be more forgiving.

I have a chrome paint pen on the way to make Cyborg more appropriately shiny. I have an extra to keep "normal".
