I never saw the hero wave in stores but I just did recently find the villains wave minus Reverse Flash.
Like everyone has said before the range of motion at the knees isn't great. Penguin can also not bend at the hips enough to sit. Other than that the new bodies are really nice. The heads look great. Way better than
the Figures sculpts. You don't realize how off the Figures heads are until you see them side by side.
The Joker's suit isn't great. The fabric on the jacket is very thin, the tails are unhemmed, sleeves are too short and the silk-screened tie looks like a giant squished spider. Where FTC beats Mego is the Joker's outfit. Much nicer.

I may also swap out Batman's cape. The blue/grey looks pre-faded and doesn't match the vibrant bright blue of the gloves, boots and cowl. I'm also not crazy about the "7" shaped question mark on Riddler. I know it's a valid variation, just one I've never been a big fan of.
Overall, they look really nice, the quality is very good and the price is more than reasonable. I probably paid less for these than the FTC ones I got around 10 years ago.
