So I’ve finally seen the Superman 2025 movie figures plus new 52 Superman. Not impressed with the Superman figures themselves. Just the general presentation looked awful. Wasn’t the new 52 suit supposed to have lines or piping throughout the suit? Then the battle damaged Superman was just a dirty version of the regular figure? Maybe it is screen accurate and dirty clothing counts as battle damaged.
I think it depends on the stores when finding the figures. My local Walmart didn't carry Jade, but I found multiples of the figure at two other Walmarts in my area. The same two Walmarts carried the Super Friends figures, but I didn't see them at any other Walmarts. It's the same with Targets in my area. I found Geo-Force at two Targets in my area. I found Damage & Starman at a nearby Target once and haven't seen any since or anywhere else. Gamestop is a crap shoot, anything can show up at any store unless you can preorder at a store for $5 down.

I'm passing on all that crap. Turns out all the Targets near me received the movie assortment with that lame New 52 version(I still have all 3 versions from DC Collectibles) but no Gold Label Cyborg Superman which is the only one I'm looking for.
That "battle damage" version has to be one of the lamest releases. Don't know if it was mandated by Gunn, but there's no damage. He's literally just dirty. 👎
@kryptonian Right? The two Superman figures literally made me frown. So disappointing. Despite some issues I had with the articulation and using the same base body, the KC, Fleischer, and BA/SA Supermen we’re pretty good to me.
I hit a couple of Walmarts and a Target today and didn’t find most of what I wanted, so I frustration-bought a Guy Gardner. I guess I showed them!
I also found a Jeremy Irons Alfred, so there is that at least.
Been looking around for any Metamorphos, and no luck so far. I've also discovered a spoiler about the Baby Joey character which puts him on my radar too, but otherwise, that's all I'm going in on for the Superman line. So far, there are five different Metamorphos offered from different companies, so this Outsiders fan is excited to get them, even though I'm sure they're all headed for the discount bin in a few months...

Guys, its finally happening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all the old members here...remember how i would say"still waiting for a Dr Midnite figure" for like 3 years LOL...I have a feeling Todd was reading my comments for 3 years and caved in.
A buddy of mine was able to find the weird Lion superman and Alfred head chase for me today! Really only want the body for my definitive superman, although I kind of wish the blue was lighter. But I think they finally got the cape length right. The last classic Superman had the right blue but too long of a cape. As for the plat chase, I want it just for that Alfred E. Newman head. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the parts

I can live with a Hush Riddler for my final Riddler, even though he doesn't have the question mark suit. I feel like a No Man's Land Scarecrow would fit a general purpose Scarecrow pretty well, they can even repurpose a lot of it for his yellow lantern look.
And of course I definitely want the Batman Returns wave above all else.
Looking at the leaked list, I hope Dr. Mid-Nite is Charles and then they will probably repaint the figure to look like Pieter even though the outfits are different.
Batman Inc Batman is basically the Three Jokers Batman. I wouldn't be surprised if that is what they use with possibly a new head and maybe a wire cape.
Earth 2 Batman could be Bruce, Thomas, Dick or Helena.
Atom Smasher & Spectre is an odd combination. Both can grow big but I'm sure it will be Mega Atom Smasher with re-release of 7" Spectre. They could make a 7" Atom Smasher with a Mega Spectre or 2 Mega figures.
I wonder if they couldn't get the likeness rights for Max Shreck or if he will be released as a platinum figure or an MTS exclusive. Since they are Theatrical Deluxe figures, they will probably be $35 or more.
What are they going to do, add a trenchcoat & fedora to the digital Joker to make the COIE Joker?
Is Darkseid going to be 7" or mega and from what era? These figures are usually classic and they already did that with the Mega figure.
Local Gamestop finally got 2 Hawkgirls. Was hoping 1 would be a plat. Nope. Ended up buying one, using the monthly pro $5 off.
Then Best Buy has that sale which dropped Huntress down to 14.99. Best Buy went nuts last week sending a promotional $5 off coupon 5 times in 5 hours. Noticed there was a Platinum Huntress at local Best Buy last week. She was still there today, got her for $11. 💪
Found 2 Cyborg Superman at Target. Stock guy was being super stingy for unknown reasons. He barely spoke English but told me I couldn't buy the items in that case...but he opened it for me anyways. Saw 2 Cyborg metallic heads from the top, grabbed them, thanked that fool. 😤
Found the variant Cyborg Superman at Target today. Also, a variant Eradicator. Did we know about this? He had swirly blue plastic. I have a picture, but the board says the file size is too big and won’t let me add it.
@magnusprimal I'm looking for that plat Eradicator! None of my Targets have him...yet!
