    OK who is your favorite of wave 1?

    BARRING Green arrow (not being available at retail disqualifies him) who is the best of wave 1? not your favorite character, but best overall figure?

    I have to say Lex Luthor far exceeded my expectations by being the best overall fig in the wave!

      I'm really impressed with Lex as well. I think my favorite may be Sinestro though. Love the head sculpt on him.

          Sinestro! Which is funny, because I wasn't in love with the Prototype. But the final Product just came out AWESOME! The Head shrank a bit in the Molding process...and that turned out to be a good thing...his Head is just the right scale, and looks so good Rotocast in soft Rubber. Well Done Guys!

                    I've seen so many versions of Sinestro in the comics from the 70s alone...
                    the MATTEL sculpt really brought to the table what I thought was
                    the most definitive comicbook look....nice!

                    Lex is an incredible "Mego gap filler" tho. Tough call!

                      I think Green Lantern is my favorite based on the fact that he is the one I keep on my desk. Once I swapped his boots for Green Arrow's, I decided he was pretty cool looking.

                        Lex, absolutely.

                        If the Sinestro suit had been done just a bit differently, maybe...

                        I must say, even with vintage WGSH, the foes were always my favorites, and Mattel's villians headsculpts are awesome.

                          I love all four, but I'm partial to GL. Moreso for the costume than anything else. Great symmetry, which is difficult to pull off, and very clean seams.

                            Lex Luthor for me too...I've always LOVED this particular costume, and Mattel nailed it.

                            I miss the old mad scientist supervillain Lex.
                            The evil corporate businessman Lex just doesn't do it for me.

                              Green Lantern, then Sinestro and Lex in a tie. I like all those head sculpts and costumes and details (like the Lantern rings)

                              In general, I'd like to see thinner thighs, thinner boots, and thinner/shorter cuffs.

                              To me, Superman is the only one that really looks "off' because of the flat head and the tight belt which emphasizes the odd hip and thigh proportions.
