    I like the Sinestro Yellow suit, but my favs are Martian Manhunter, Darkseid and Captain Marvel.
    Green Lanterns are all great and having the outfits for customs of the Corps is a dream come true!

    Just wondering what is going on with RA heroes if anything at all behind the scenes?! Looking forward to Kyle and getting a tiny hint to accept the death march or go full throttle! I would love to see more if and any way possible! Love to hear something to keep the fires burning!

    All I ever saw was Sinestro and Luthor. I did not buy them because I needed their heroes too. Yeah, Mattel SUCKS for DC...They do great on WWE though.

    The Flash and Superman were my favorites and brought that Mego rush back for me. I still need to find a few, but seeing Paul at SDCC in 2010 with the debut of Wonder Woman was pretty cool as well.

    ^^^The above statement does not necessarily reflect the shopping experience of all retro action figure customers. I craved that experience and was denied. The first case of RA my TRU got had no Supes, a GL with his emblem around his navel and a broke-leg Sinestro. I eventually got a Sinestro a month or so ago, but the magic was definitely gone. I never saw another wave at retail, and I looked weekly for a year.

    It's nobody's fault except Mattel.

    Sometimes I imagine being able to go back in time to the days when I could buy Mattel retro heroes off the shelves. Good times.

    The Green Arrow figure is still pretty awesome. Love the Black Adam and Shazam figures as well.

    I've enjoyed the whole line, even buying characters i wasn't planning on gettingand yet i cannot get a Wonder Woman to save my life. My favorite is probably Green Lantern he was missing far too long and most improved would have to go to Capt Marvel or WW if i could see for myself. but i really loved the Villians chosen for this line, all good choices down the line.

    Without question Flash was my favorite in the line, quickly followed by the surprise addition of Capt Cold. After that, I would have to say Lex Luthor and Green Lantern. I thought Green Arrow was an improvement over the original Mego, as was Wonder Woman. Shazam was also done very well, following a more literal translation from the comics. Overall, I thought the line was a blast to collect and was improving in quality by each wave. I thought the sculpts were becoming more detailed and the outfits were finding a level of quality that made them more desirable. Given the uniqueness of it's character diversity, it's a shame it didn't continue.

    My favorites are almost all of them. Top favs are WW, Capt. Marvel, GA, and Martian Manhunter. The only ones that were not A-listers for me were because I'm not a big fan of the characters themselves, Darkseid and Black Adam.

    That's what I like to see as well. Nice to see What some might consider oddball choices, like Guy or Two Face mentioned.
