Is that a different Shazam head sculpt?

I honestly can't tell....not sure if it just looks different because the neck is shortened.

I have to say, I was not here much today because I figured it would take all day to reveal anything. So far, it's been underwhelming. And it also opens the doors to start asking questions again. Is Mattel still behind this line? Wave 3 is out and, as good as it is, appears to be following the same path as Wave 2. Nothing much in stores and no news of future releases outside of what has been known for the past six months. The Retro line didn't even make the Mattel press release. Normally that would be no big deal since the line is not that big. But with the Green Lantern tie-in, you would think they would promote all the figures offered. It's been a frustrating conclusion to what I thought would be a fun reveal.

You guys are on Wave 5...I wish my Toys R Us would get Wave 2 let alone get wave 3.

The GL's are Wave 5. Wave 4 will be the last in-store as we are now transitioning to Matty.com

Someone should just call it already.

all the figures shown look pretty good

didn't Mattel have a special reveal for the wave 2 figures at TF last year?

The Gl's are supposed to be a Matty exclusive and not part of the regular waves.

A matty.com exclusive line?

Jeesh, here we go again... Shades of MOTU.

Is the Retro Action line officially dead/discontinued????! The fixed Shazam looks GREAT now I might add!!

Seeing that waves 3 and 4 got pushed out side by side, one has to ask what is going on here. Perhaps the easiest way to answer this, is to just ask Paul and Joe. Is there going to be a Wave 5?

[jasonmego1277]

I seriously doubt this line is moving to a Matty exclusive line, That would mean two things the line is indeed dead or is trying to be killed. However I thought Paul had finished submitting a few series of waves for 2011 ? Too be honest I too an dissapointed and underwhelmed by everything shown from Toy fair thus far. The GLs are not wave 5. They will coming out each month starting inj March till the Movie release.

I am seriously wondering if Mattel is behind the line as well. I had really hoped to see a Robin from this line at this event. Oh well time will tell what happens. Anyways whats this about Wave 4 not being available until Summer 2011 ? Darkseid and Black Adam are already floating around. Very odd.

People who could put our minds at ease and reassure us that the 12 waves will happen as planned are being awfully tight lipped (it was 3 a year, 4 years if I remember)

I am so disappointed. I suppose Mattel does not have big motivation to show off the Retro figures when they are being sold exclusively at Toys R Us and Matty. Toy Fair is an event for retail buyers right? However, I was hoping that we were going to get an announcement that these were going to be available to other retailers. Remember the tags at Meijer’s? I am going with the theory that Mattel considers the GL figures as wave five. Which means we probably won't have new waves shown until SDCC.
