@magnusprimal I don't find it SINCERELY admirable. I was unsuccessfully being snarky. I guess I just sometimes wonder what it's like to live life giving so few ****s what anyone else thinks. I'm the type of person who will question my entire career over one bad Amazon review of one of my books. There are days I wonder what it's like inside the head of someone who truly does not fret about anyone's opinion. He does often come across as antagonistic.
And in truth the scale thing doesn't irritate me the way other stuff does, like character selection, the fact that the joints on these guys pinch and bite into skin like rabid rats, and the diapers. The diapers on these figures is my biggest complaint. Occasionally it's not bad (Wildcat, I just got ponytail Nightwing and Earth 2 Robin, the diaper isn't bad on them) but when it's bad it's hideous, and even on the best of them it interferes with front to back leg range of motion.
But that comes back to I really do think he sees each figure as an individual collector's item and not an action figure existing in relation to the rest of the line, the way most action figure lines do. His design philosophy is contrary to most if not all of his competitors.
Power Girl I do believe is using the body from Wonder Woman/Superwoman/Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman with new sculpting. The boots are from Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman. I have all three of the figures and the Last Knight On Earth Wonder Woman is the tallest of the three due to not the boots but how her head sits on the neck. It sits a little high on the neck. Oh, forgot the tallest figure in this line is still the Hush Batman but the Two Face Batman. It's the way the sculptor sculpted the head/neck combo. That Batman is somewhat taller than Hush Batman and slightly edges out the COIE Superman.
Got my Joker and DeNiro set today. Haven’t had a chance to open it up yet but the box says it’s limited to just 4,400 sets so it is fairly limited. Only ordered it because of the collector club discount code that brought it down considerably. Not sure if they’re doing it with everyone but mine happened to come with some bonus items from the damaged pile. They sent me Jonah Hex with the General and Lightning Lad. Made the price even more tolerable with those editions. Only wish it was the platinum Jonah as I already had the regular one but I’m certainly not going to look a literal gift horse in the mouth.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to snap in your direction. I was just really looking forward to having PG and Kal-L in the same line. I may just have to substitute in a DCD Power Girl now. I really am starting to sour on this line because of Todd’s refusal to give a crap.
@magnusprimal Oh, I get it. I'm right there with you. PG was a top five, maybe top three character for me and I'm just like: the poor woman is wearing Super-Depends. I'd love to see a DC line that feels like they really love the characters when they design 'em.
I couldn't get an initial pre-order in. I missed out on Power Girl entirely. I'm the operations officer at my organization on Fort Moore. We had reduced work hours and the post closed Wed due to extreme cold weather, yesterday being the first full day back at work I had to push people to get shit done. We had deadlines for reports to higher headquarters that had to be met, meetings and briefings with higher headquarters which is my responsibility it is all completed/achieved. It was during lunch after 1240 when I got a break and PG was gone from every site I searched on, lol. I was able to grab Guy Gardner and Captain Cold from GameStop though. This was similar to what happened to me with Wonder Woman.
mind shooting me an email at [email protected]

What? Same exact thing happened to me. Once is a dumb mistake. But twice?I ordered Red Hood's bike off Amazon. They sent me a Super Powers Riddler.
I had to arrange a return. A new bike is on the way, but now I had to go out of my way to visit a UPS store to return Riddler, when it was 100% not my fault.
Anyone know when the Mcfarlane preorder for Fleisher Superman, Icon, and Tempest go up? I thought it was today.

Today at 12pm EST according to Toys News International.
Yep, same here. I've got a 1-hour meeting with my boss exactly right at that time. Go figure. I'm not particularly worried about any of these selling out, though - maybe the Fleischer Superman but that's the only one I was going to skip anyway.
Doesn't Icon go up on the McFarlane Toy Store at the exact same time? I could maybe see him selling out depending on how limited of an offering it is (3k-5k total units?), but probably not. He's the one I want the most and then Dark Flash and Tempest in that order. I hope to get all 3 of those so hopefully they're all still available an hour or more later.

Yep, supposed to get a replacement today. We'll see what it actually is.
They are up on BBTS
