    They all look fantastic. I have five of the six (that I could see) coming my way; all DC and all Star Trek, minus Borg Queen. I didn't see a picture of Ras... was there a new picture of Worf shown?

    Green Arrow looks better to me than I was expecting, and he was the least wanted of the DC figures for me. And on the new bandless bodies is a bonus!
    All were shown except the Mummy. Taylor and Zira were phone images.

      Love that Green Arrow! He was my most wanted and he did not disappoint.

      Is his head sculpt new, or is it reworked from the original?

      Looks great either way.

        I believe it's the Mattel version of GA which is the original Mego sculpt with the beard modified and trimmed down.

          Interesting, can you share the reason behind that?

            It's has to do with which molds were in which factory and how they had to be shipped as pairs.

                Kind of wishing I would have popped for a GA and Black Adam, now.

                      Pretty impressive looking line up, Kor and Green Arrow I like the best, I’m happy for those who ordered and do I even dare ask what these will be going for on ebay?

                        Examining the pictures more, and pictures of the ones not shown here, the new bandless bodies are way shorter than the regular bodies. That's kind of concerning to me and my collection. Look at the empty space above the figures in the bubbles. These new bodies aren't a match to the old ones. Robin will tower over Shazam, and that's not a good look. Kor will be way shorter than Kang. The Hammer figures are on the old bodies. I didn't screenshot any of those. Brent doesn't look super short, but the Mutant Leader does.

                          that's not good if you're right.

                            These look great, especially Spock and Kor.

                            I’m least impressed with Taylor, but hoping that’s just due to the low resolution pic. As of now, though, it looks the furthest from its prototype counterpart. The Brent figure, on the other hand, is flawless.

                              Robin was bound to have a growth spurt eventually.

                                Using the hands to figure out new bodies vs old, the new bodied figures do look to be a bit smaller than those on the older buck. Also noting that all the card art indicates 26 points of articulation, including Zira and the Borg Queen, which do not look to be on updated bodies at all. (again, looking at their hands).
