@dchimpy I totally agree about how fun these toys are!  It's my favorite current line by far.  There are so many characters that I would have no interest in as SA figures, but I love in the Super Powers style.  It's also great to have the vehicle play features.  Every single one is fun to play with. The cost on these is great too. I have multiples of every vehicle and most figures.  I like having a sealed set along with a loose one and extras of my favorites to mess around with.  At $10 or less, I don't even feel bad about buying probably 12 or so classic Batmans.  I wanted a carded one, a loose one, a few to play with and extras to drive all the Bat vehicles that eventually come out.  I really hope this line lasts a long time.

You're absolutely right, the price point is a big draw for me too! I always wanted Super Powers as a kid but never had any. About 10 years ago so I started buying the original Kenner line on ebay and completed the first two waves and the original Batmobile. The McFarlane figures are a great compliment to that 84 line, especially the vehicles.

I just got the Brainiac ship today.  It looks great and will make a nice display piece on the shelf, but it's kind of disappointing.  The moving tentacle action feature is the worst in the line.  I kind of hate that there is no steering wheel or some kind of control handle to hold on to.  Also, the mentions of needing a top to the head are correct.  I don't mind it open at all for display, but a seat with a closed top would have been way cooler to play with.

Even with the disappointment, I still like it and think I might track down an extra vintage Brainiac to drive it.

@dchimpy For similar reasons, I love the Hasbro Marvel retro 3.75" Ghost Rider.  I really don't care for Ghost Rider riding a red bike, but I absolutely fell in love with that toy.

Reign of Supermen.   Teen Titans.   Doom Patrol.  Legion of Doom.  All great suggestions.

Black Manta is up on EE, but only in a case.  Hopefully that means we can get a single release too.

The tentacles move?  I assume it's the entire set on each side moving as a solid piece?

If anyone missed out and wants the full next wave with the two gold figures, it's on Amazon.

I tried to post a link, but it won't work.  Search for:

dc super powers 6 pack

I wish Super Powers would be the one line where didn't have to hunt down exclusives, variants, buy multi-packs, etc.

Saw this gorgeous custom over the wknd, but brainfarted with the cropping so I don't recall who did it or where he showed it off.

I still hate the garbage-useless tentacles, but I may need to scarf one of these nonetheless.

Amazon delayed my Hal and Sinestro a monthish.

I ordered the 6 pack box of figures from Entertainment Earth to get Black Manta & it arrived today. I also needed Batman, Robin & Aquaman but now I have 2 more Batman Figures.

Does anyone think the Gold Label Skull Ship with Brainiac will come back in stock once it releases?

I somehow spaced on ordering it.
