    I still love that Captain Cold and Cheetah. Interesting that Cheetah has boots. Don't get me wrong, they're cute. Maybe it's just my poor memory, but I thought she had more paw-like footwear, or stocking feet. I like the proportions on the female bodies, even though the hands do look a bit weird. Flash's outfit and boots are great, but I'm waiting to make a decision on him until I see the headsculpt in person. The only thing I don't love about Wonder Woman is the chest emblem, but that was pretty much already discussed.

        I had forgotten how much better the figures look with the bodies switched until I saw these pics again. Did you use EMCE bodies?

And I never dared to hope for Captain Cold and he was done superbly. LOVE THE BOOTS on both Flash and the Capt! So now I'll be like a little kid waiting for that UPS truck to pull up in front of my house. YEA!!
          Alleluyah! Glad to hear that brother!

            I think they all look fantastic, with the exception of WW's face.....but you know what, my little girl will love it....problem is I still haven't found anymore than Aquaman from wave 2 at the local TRU.....I thought for sure at this time of year i would see lots of them but all they had the other night was Luthor and Sinestro

              I used original Mego bodies on all of these. I used the lower arms and hands from the Mattel figures.

                  Generally, I like this wave!

                  The "set" hair is something Mattel hasbeen doing with Barbies for some time.

                  I wish Cheetah was a bit more feral-looking: meaner brows & green eyes.

                  They all look great swapped, though.

                      Mine show up this week and I'm very excited! I've loved them all so far, and these look to be just as good.

                        Just wanted to throw this in here. Here is a comparison of all the male boots to date. I left the females out, as I don't think anyone is going to be to critical of the sizing of those. Also left out are Two Faces shoes as I don't think they are relevant either.

                        I think its evident the worst boots of the bunch were the Luthor, GL and Manta boots. These guys have boots that could fit an 8" scale Shaq. Anyway, the main reason I wanted to post this is because this newest wave have by far the smallest boots yet and I think its another great step in the right direction. I think Cold's are still a hair big but Flash's are really not big at all. In fact (I think this will make Joe happy to hear), I've decided to keep Flash's boots on my swapped out Flash. The clincher was when I compared them in size to castaways similar styled boots in the second pic below. They're really not any bigger at all. Though they are still a bit wide when viewed from the front.

                          I'd love the new boots if they weren't so thick.

                              So am I. I have her and will start once I'm not so busy. I'll remove the straps too. I don't think she'll fall out of them. I took that hairnet off too that she comes in.

                                A hairnet? You mean her hair isn't glued to a style just a net? Thats good news if true. Would love to see the pics when you guys fix the hair and the top. Please tell us how you did it.
