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.

I just got my case in too.  I had a carded Black Manta, but it was nice to get another to open.  He's one of the best figures in the line and it's a shame that he's so hard to come by.  I love the retro aspect of the line, but I was also impressed by how easy everything was to get.  Sadly, I  guess that's no longer the case.

I already had too many classic Batmans.  My wife thought I was insane when she saw 3 more in the case.

Did Reverse Flash ever go up for sale on Walmart's site? I know there is a product page for it. 

Was it ever found in stores in the US?

Why are there no video reviews of the Brainiac ship on YT? I thought it was out weeks ago...

The gold Batman and Flash are back up at the McFarlane store, if anyone needs them. Limit one per customer. The classic SP colors WW variant is available too.

I received my Hal Jordan Green Lantern the other day from GameStop. Wasn't too excited that the shipping was the same price as the figure, but it saves me driving all over the state. Well, I drive all over the state anyway, but it saves me from having to male a stop and look.

I was afraid I was going to be disappointed, and I was correct. He's on the same body as the “all black” Batman so, he's not in a good scale with the other figures that McFarland has put out in this particular line. I put him on a little stand that gives him some height but mass wise he's still smaller. His green is also not bright like the John Stewart figure. He's kind of matted.

He doesn't hold his power battery very well either.

 

I added some photos for you to review.

I spotted The Bug at GameStop yesterday. I didn't get it as I have a pre-order with EE that I can't cancel.

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.

 

Could you please post a proper link - this one isn't working and I'm curious as to what kind of custom you saw...

Does anyone know where to buy star case type cases for these figures in the US?  I bought some years ago for my vintage carded collection from toy shield and they no longer have them.  I've recently bought a few more old figures and would like to protect them.  The card size is the same as the modern figures so I assume somebody must sell them.

I found the gold Batman and Flash figures at several GameStops in Oregon this weekend. I was surprised to see them in stores.

I hope everyone has seen the Super Powers variant comic covers by Toy Otter coming from DC in August.  They are awesome,  I hope McFarlane gets a clue and makes some of these.

Can anyone recommend a good online comic retailer where I can order a set?

I really hope that Panic in the Sky vehicle comes back into stock at McFarlane. I missed it when it was up originally, and prices on ebay are crazy stupid.

Why is Todd being stubborn and not putting female figures in this line??

A Cheetah, a Supergirl and a purple/green Catwoman are money left on the table!

@disneyboy yeah, we definitely need more women. Wasn't there a Black Canary leak?  I can't remember.

I got the new wave last week.  This is still my favorite current toy line.  Every figure except for Superman is great.  I knew nothing about the gold label version of Brainiac until it was mentioned here where he comes from, but I love both the figure and vehicle.  I actually prefer the exclusive ship to the regular one.  I was surprised that I liked Manga Batman too.
