    Leftovers that need a new home for collectors and fans! Sounds great to me! I am really looking forward to being able to get multiples of Supes, Bats, and Manhunter! I hope people get on board and buy em if you luv em! I know I am stoked and ready to spend!

      There has been no official word from Mattel that the line has truely been cancelled. The last official word was from Toyguru saying that the continuation of Retro Action would depend on how well Kyle sold. Also, Paul from EMCE has told us here on the forum that they are trying to work something out. Well, Kyle sold out and now Mattel is actually offering more Retro Action on Matty even though they are not new characters. I say we sell these out ( old stock or not ) and show Mattel there's still demand for this line. Then, if Mattel still officially cancels the line after all this, for those of you that want to say you told us so you can and shame on Mattel and Toyguru for lying to us.

        No problem. I mean if you'd rather pay 20 dollars plus 7 in shipping from one Mattel site rather than 5 bucks for the figure plus 5 in shipping from another Mattel site, that's cool.

          I have them all, so no interest in multiples just to send a message to Mattel that will fall on deaf ears.

            It would be nice if we knew if batmans bat was fixed so it doesn't
            Come off so easy.
            I would get another bats
            Action Jackson is his name.
            Bold adventure is his game.

              I kind of doubt there is a fix for the bat emblem. But, if these are later issues of the Supes stock, you may be able to get a Superman that will stand up straight.

                I was personally thinking, as someone had mentioned that superman and batman would of been the big sellers in this toy line at retail. So maybe they are testing the waters offering the big hitters to see how they sell online(rather than the green lantern series), and maybe thinking of producing the rest?

                  Too little too late Matty. I already bought waves 2,3, and 4 from BBTS since they were never in TRU after wave 1.

                  I sincerely hope more new DC Retro Action Heroes will be made, but I'm not paying Mattel's inflated shipping to get extras of ones I already have.

                  No thanks.

                    I think these are going to sell out quickly!! There are many people who aren't debbie downers and are looking forward to being able to get ahold of this wave! Awesome job on the RA's and thanks Matty for keeping it going and taking a chance on these!

                      What about getting the repro Mego emblem for Batman? That's what I may do.

                        I think the issue with the Bat-emblem was that they were not applied with enough heat. They are just iron-ons like Superman and GL's emblems. So, they didn't get adhered to the fabric enough.

                        I used an iron to make mine adhere to the costume nicely. I used a sheet of the paper that goes between the iron and the iron-on (from a an ink-jet printer t-shirt kit) to make sure I didn't burn or melt anything.
