Wow - 5 figures we've never seen before in one set.
I've been lucky and actually managed to find the 6-packs. Hopefully that will continue with this set. Seems I have trouble with the 3-packs. Guess I'm going to have to go to ebay to get Volcana.
Thanks for the info.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

Now THAT is a pack I'd pick up.
I was really hoping they'd round out the last season's LEGION VILLAINS
---that six-pack is a great start."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

It's an interesting mix of villains, most of which have been around for several decades. I'm not sure what Mattel's logic is for including Batman in this set as only the KG Beast is actually associated with him. It's as if Mattel thinks this set won't sell if they don't include yet another re-issue of him (the 16th repaint I believe). Why not just make it 6 villains? They could have easily repainted Solomon Grundy, considering he had a limited release, and made it another pack with a larger scale villain (i.e. Doomsday, Grodd). Sometimes I wonder how the decision makers in the toy industry get these jobs. But I am thankful that they are releasing 5 "new" characters - even though Shadow Thief looks like yet another repainted Amazo.
The Key - 1A: Justice League of America #41 - JLA villain
Atomic Skull - 1A: Superman #303 - Superman villain
Silver Banshee - 1A: Action Comics #595 - Superman villain
Shadow Thief - 1A: Brave & Bold #36 - normally associated with Hawkman
KG Beast - 1A: Batman #417 - Batman Villain
-particularly during the 'legion" era is what makes them "unified" in theme
--- as their comicbok history was kinda minced and mixed throughout the
Timmverse history to enhance whatever they were trying to achieve with
any given story plot for any of the many series of the Timmverse--
-
I mean---look what they did to the Huntress' charcter to jam her in the
Timmverse for cripes sakes
And, really, I think it's an amazing assortment of 5 characters they
put in that set---and I'd be fearful to sell it without a sixth that was
well-known---and this time---I think they really EARNED that right
---yeah---they rarely do---but I personally think this time they did."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

^^^ Umm, what exactly did they do to Huntress? Family killed by mob boss, and she was out to avenge that. It fits with the current non Bat offspring Huntress just fine. If you are still living on Earth 2, i can see the issue you'd have with the Huntress on JLU.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

as far as I knew... to fit the show---
----and that was the only point I was trying to make.
If she's actually that way in the comics now (not a Bat/Cat E2 offspring)...I had no idea.

They changed her backstory (most specifically her origins "Earth" wise)

Helena Wayne the Earth-2 Huntress died in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" back in 1986 (along with E-2 Robin).
So in all actuality, the E-2 Huntress was only around for 9 years (created in '77), whereas Helena B has existed for the past 19 years!Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment
