Retro Wave 2

[Meule]

Mods, could you somehow merge all these different threads? I mean, do we really need 4 different threads?

I love 'em...helmet heads, bow legs, and all!

They scream 1970's to me in all their funky, chunky, clunky glory!

I can't wait to get them...

Batman in speedos?! And some thought the remarks about the prototypes were bad? Oh wow...

Thanks for posting the pics. For me, Two Face looks the best outta' the bunch.

I like them. Don't care for the bodies as usual hence why I've been swapping them out.
Worth the extra plus don't care for the cards or having them carded. They are getting boxed instead.
Batman, gonna pass on him. "Helmet" doesn't look good.

Good job, Paul and team!

Black Manta will be starring in Giant Size Boot 1. I think they all have potential.

That is an interesting cowl on Bats. I am supposing it is the squishy rubber stuff the boots are made of, so you have to sort of pull it up over the chin? It looks pretty good in the retro sort of way. Not so sure about the high rise on the shorts tho. Kinda accents the thigh/body proportions in an awkward sort of way. Could be the angle of the photo.

Aman looks to be pretty stable, but the other three look like they are lurching a bit. I am guessing the body/pelvis issue has not been 100% solved then.

I really like the villains. The sculpt on 2face looks great and the tanks for Manta are very cool.

Looking forward to getting a few of these in my mitts.

Interesting that they are only featuring the wave characters on the card, . I suppose any figures from wave 1 that get packed into wave two will not have the color changed on their cards then.

I would expect better than what came out thirty five years ago. Not worse. I think they should have gone with the Doc Mego bodies and things would be better. But they just suck! They should be totally cool, but they aren't.

I think he looks like he was riding his seahorse too long and is very sore. Or just bowlegged. I think it looks terrible.

[HardyGirl]

I think the legs still really suck. These figures look like a steaming pile of crap. Yeah, nice costumes and such, but the bodies make these garbage. It's too expensive to spend another ten or so dollars to get a better looking figure by replacing the body.

Aquaman's legs look OK. He looks so Filmation like.

Wow, some love them and some hate them. Gotta love toy collecting

[BlackKnight]

I think they suck...

Batman needs serious Help..... His belt is so small ..., He looks like he's wearing some chicks belt at the Rave. He looks like he's wearing a Thong. His cape ..., man that's bad.... for real here.

The paint on Two-Faces head looked far better in the Proto.

Black Manta looks more Future-istic rather than Retro, with all the detail on His Head, and Air Tank.


Aquaman Does look real good to me. Everything seems to be real nice.

that manta is making me melt

[SoulSinger]

Thanks for posting! My kids will collect 'em all!
