          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.

              Ah, more tempting stuff I'll probably never see. AFI has pics of the Question as well.

                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.

                  Outside of Batman I don't know any of these characters but the Atomic Skull
                  looks cool. I'd buy one if it was available individually.

                        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
                        grayhank---I think the mere fact that the villains are all on the show-
                        -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.

                          ^^^ 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.

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

                              Helena Bertinelli (the current incarnation of the Huntress)) has been around since 1989...so she's existed in that format (not related to Batman/Catwoman) prior to the JLU series.

                              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!
