    These are definitely the proto-type figures....not the Mattel finished figures

      I don't like Superman's head either. He looks meaner than Sinestro!

        Diamond needs images for press pretty darn early, like 3-4 months before publication, iirc.

          I don't like the Superman head either, and the suits look a bit baggy. Lex Luthor's head looks really good in the Diamond picture.

              Is it me,....or does Superman's head look a little flat on the top (ala flat top).

                i am sooooo looking forward to these! my only thing is i hope they change the outfits materal. my green arrow has EIGHT runs in this outfit. from what i understand,they are fixing the legs on the figures. the outfit is the only thing i dislike about green arrow.

                  In shops March 2010 - less than 4 weeks to Toy Fair and about 10 weeks until
                  the end of March! Man, winter just doesn't go as slow as it used to!

                              If Mattell does not move up the promotions on these figures, they may not be as successfull as we may want them to be. There needs to be promotions for them, I know they are more geared to us older fans and to the collector market, but that may not be enough. Since, I was the first to break the news that they will be sold through Previews, it may indicate, that Mattel is noticing that they may not sell as many as they want. HOpe thats not case. and would be nice to see a WGSH commercial on tv.
                              So, far, I do like the face detail on GA, dislike the flimsy packaging, as well as hands, and the bow legged ness, as well as the attached arrow, on the plus side, the turning boxing glove feature is a plus, also dislike how the uniform snags so easy.and why advertise Batman on the front package when he is not part of the first wave? I know he is a main dc icon, however He should not have been on it, if he wont be in the first wave.
                              I agree Suprmans head is kind of flat looking, however it may be due to the resin head (at least it looks like its resin) if not then I can paint the face white put some picks on it and call him bizarro or frankensuperman. This new pic does not do much for me if I were not into Mego's it is to bland, and does not inspire me to go out and buy them, if I were not a mego fan.

                                They announced these would be available at Toys R Us and online / specialty retailers (ie through Diamond) when they announced the line.
