Wave 4.. VERY interesting fact...

Black Adam's costume is acceptable, but the pencil neck of the head and the weak features are a real shame. Why on earth would he have a head like that? Seriously, Mattel.

Because he's Nothin' But A Pencil Neck......Geek?

If they left that head on Black Adam, then I guess alot of people are gonna be disappointed when they see Captain Marvel.

[Tothiro]

That's a shame. I'm buying the line for the suits and heads because the bodies are useless to me... Now I won't even like the suits and heads on the shazam/adam.

I'll be buying Manhunter and Darkseid but heavily customizing both to actually look retro. First time I won't get the whole wave. Sad shrug. (I hope wave 5 is super awesome) ((I also hope Mattel doesn't look at the poor sales of this wave and mistake that for market dip when they count the beans))

[Afaninfull]

I agree that the neck looks really long and the head looks small. I wonder how he will look next to the others?

I'm really nervous about Shazam...

[Brown Bear]

I emailed the seeler about buying all four. Hopefully everything goes well.

From what I read in earlier posts, Joe stated the neck was being shortened (at least) on Shazam. So I was left with a hint that the head sculpt may be getting reworked too. I'm going to withhold any critique until I see a production version. I would also like a straight forward shot of Black Adam. That angle in the one auction exaggerates his neck length. Anyone with a Aquaman, just turn him at that angle and he will appear to have a long neck too.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I still like the way Black Adam looks. I dig the C.C. Beckness of it. He's not meant to look like the modern version and he was a little goofy looking in the Fawcet comics.

I'm with you...the only thing I don't like is the gold on the costumes. I wish it were yellow.

I'm just curious what was done differently from the sculpting of the heads of Wave one...as opposed to wave 2,3 and 4. Seems like the quality of the sculpting has gone down since wave 1. That Black Adam Head does not look right....but I'll wait to see one in person before I get too critical.

I don't mind this final Black Adam sculpt. I think it does look a bit better than the prototype pics we saw a couple months ago.

It almost looks like his suit isn't pulled all the way up.

I'm pretty sure you're just seeing the difference between the resin head and the vinyl head. The sculpt probably hasn't changed. I say probably because there's always that slim chance it was altered, but I don't think it was.

[LOU]

Yeah, you're right because thinking back, the prototype had those resin-like specs/imperfections on it's face.

You have a valid point. Arthur looked that way to when I first saw him carded. I just it looked funny. I agree in waiting to physically see the figure before passing final judgement. The Darkseid looked good carded ......let's see how he looks loose and in hand as well.
