Superman and Batman will eventually show up at other retailers, GameStop and possibly Amazon and Walmart, like the last wave.  Why McFarlane didn’t offer the entire case this time, who knows…

There are pictures of the Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman accent three pack out there’s and they are ugly.

I wanted to get these and I didn't realize they went on sale the other day. I think amazon still has them. Hopefully I find them in store at Gamestop or wherever.

I have so far been a completest with this line, but that 3 pack may get me to stop.  It just looks really bad.

I have had the same exact thought.  Plastering "Super Powers" on the package and playing on my 40-year old nostalgia has kept me buying every single item, even though I'm so over those old Superman and Batman bodies they keep reusing, but this may be the release that finally sets me free of the obsession.

Really excited for Metamorpho, of of the main figures I've wanted since 1985 or so. I hope Black Lightning isn't far behind, even though he doesn't have a movie appearance to tie into. My main toy want is the Outsiders at this scale in their original costumes.

OK, Todd.  Now it's your turn.

It makes me kind of sad that it's a custom.  Now I really want one.

Yeah, I remember pining for that Darkseid hideout ever since I saw it in a promo picture. I also really, really want the Jokermobile shown in the mini comic. The BTAS Joker Dragster and the recent Jokermobile for the 7 inch line are great, but still don't fill that old want. If he can make a Brainiac ship, he can make these other missing vehicles and playsets!

McFarlane have revealed the new "Drawing Board" kickstarter for Super Powers

https://mcfarlanetoysstore.com/drawing-board/

I signed up at the $75 level. FYI it uses a different account system than the main MTS site.

I really don't like the way the site is set up, but I was happy to back 2 sets.  I hope I get both.  I first ordered a set with a shirt and wasn't charged shipping.  I then was charged shipping for the second set with no shirt. Kind of weird.

Thanks for the heads up!

$45 Bat-level for me. The Batman looks a lot like the Dark Knight Collection blue/gray figure, and I like the "Dick Grayson" Robin, even if the gloves are wrong. Going to switch his cape with the all-yellow Tim Drake figure. The vehicle is the main draw for me. Another one that would fit perfectly with the vintage line. Black Manta's ship is the best addition to the vintage line, but I'm a bat-only guy, so I'm happy with my set.

This really seems like Todd testing the waters, as I see no reason these wouldn't be fine at retail. I wonder if a Batcave is in our future? I already have some great caves at this scale, so to sell me they'd have to make it a proper comic book version with the dinosaur, giant penny, Joker card, and maybe even the Jason Todd display case. Add a Bat-Computer and a Batmobile turntable and that's a perfect set.

Although I really think Todd should pursue a Fortress of Solitude or Darkseid Fortress next. Those deserve to be in the line more, and seem a perfect fit for the crowdfunding method.

I would like to have the figures but I don't collect the vehicles. The vehicles do look nice. Its interesting that they are painted like the Filmation cartoons from the 1960s. I really like Batman & Black Manta. Aquaman & Robin would have been better if they had made Silver Age versions of the characters instead of painting Rebirth Aquaman & Tim Drake Robin.

I was hoping they would make Filmation figures in the Retro line. Get the Justice League & the Teen Titans & then the Super Friends.

On the one hand, I like that Todd is expanding this line, but this feels like a really weird project to start this with to me? 4 previously made characters with new vehicles? It seems like the figures would have been the place to stick in at least one more obscure pick since this line has been very “name” heavy. Aside from retail reluctance to carry larger items, these seem like they would have worked as store exclusives for a larger chain. 

Plus I just want the Legion of Doom headquarters from somebody. Todd, Lego, whoever. 

$600 K seems like a big ask when base prices are pretty low.
