McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[MRP]

I can't believe it! I found the metallic chase Aquaman in the wild. I never have luck like that.

Awesome! Congrats on your find.

[powersthatbe]

small nitpick, but they should have made the orange scaled top all gold on Aquaman like how Alex Ross has drawn him, but the gold sheen on it is nice. Booster Gold should be done this way too.

Since I am now "Home Alone" I started going through boxes and buckets and found my original Kenner Super Powers Cyborg! Not sure if I have his other hands anymore but this made my day!

Put that thing behind glass! My biggest collecting regret is I passed up Cyborg for Captain Marvel in 1986, and I didn't buy one when they were still somewhat affordable.

OMG the price for a loose Cyborg is ridiculous!!! PXL_20241211_171743610.MP~3.jpg

Yep, it's why I don't own one!

I really hope McFarlane issues a near-replica. Just different enough so vintage collectors don't lose their crap over it.

Curious who is reading this and do you get the reference?
Let's me know who reads comic books/comic strips.

True story: I got some of that last wave direct from Kenner in Cincy because I couldn't find them at retail. Cyborg, Capt. Marvel, etc. Just wrote a letter to Customer Service, ah those were the days. I think I was a senior in high school.

What nobody noticed Jarro?

Got in a few of the Starro spores years ago and surprised I found one.

This was one of those DCnU stories most people forgot about.

Darkseid and Steppenwolf

For some reason brother and I did not collect most of the Fourth World characters. Now I wish McFarlane would release more. An updated Desaad without that torture device, a proper Orion and Mantis.

Now to figure out what box Captain Atom is in. Who would have thought we would have been able to buy these characters.

[powersthatbe]

Got to dig out my JLU Question. Seems to fit in nicely there.

[Earth 2 Chris]

More Super Powers variant DC comics covers coming in March. I would love to see McFarlane make both of these. Batgirl was a huge omission from both Kenner and McFarlane. We kinda sorta got Earth-Two Superman with the McFarlane Fleischer variant, but I'd love to see the gray temples, funky S Superman ala Perez in Crisis (and this cover is for a variant of the Crisis #12 facsimile)

The suit figures do fit in nice with the Super Powers, a great way to expand the collection.

I need to get all those covers and post them around my Hall of Justice.

Supergirl & Batgirl should have been released from Kenner long time ago.

Mcfarlane reasons do not make since because of all the Batman/Superman family figures they have released.

Waiting on Mcfarlane JSA figures
