McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I saw a post that said McFarlane is bringing back the Kenner Super Powers line. The picture showed vehicles too, but I could not tell the scale (original 5” or taller) or whether it was a picture of the original line
Looks like the Batwing is new

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I made a lightning run into my local Wally World yesterday because they sell Propel Electrolytes for about 1/10th everyone else's price (you put it in your water for workouts), as my wife waited in the car I told her if I was more than four minutes there was a problem-- so I zipped in and as I walked down the toy aisle I saw these-- they had taken over the whole section-- everything else looked wiped out. They're bigger than the old ones as far as I can tell but they were under $10 so nice to see toys priced for kids to buy.

There’s a picture of the WM display but it’s on my other device. Wave 2 is announced already

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I came across these the other day - really neat! But I do wish that they would have went with a more 'classic' look for Batman (yellow oval, etc.) to more fit the Super Powers aesthetic, especially with such a classic looking Superman.
"Batman told him a super funny joke. When the creature didn't laugh, that was proof!"

Following the comics?

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
If they're following the comics Superman hasn't had his underwear outside his pants for sometime. The Batman is based on Jim Lee's HUSH-- so maybe they do a classic yellow gray and blue Batman with the yellow oval-- which I probably would have bought.

Batman and his Batwing....pure awesomeness. Hopefully they will be bringing them out in the 89 colors

Just add this playset for even more fun from Anthony Durso’s Toy Repro ship

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
Eh. The figure scale and designs are barely Super Powers in name only. At this point, McFarlane screwing things up should come as no surprise.

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I never collected Super Powers so I don't have a dog in the race, the Superman looks very much like what I remember him looking but the Batman is lousy. I swung through Wally World yesterday to get some eggs (egg prices around here are nuts-- $6 for a dozen eggs??) and saw they had the Batwing and the Super Plane vehicles.
I'm not sure why he chose to do this line at all-- and they also had the Page Punchers-- which are tiny "action figures" that come with a full size comic book. The detail on them for their size is pretty good, but Batman for some reason has his mouth open which makes him look silly. I also don't get these, a kid would certainly lose these things pretty quickly.
Just my 2c- nobody asked but there it is.

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I wonder why many of Mcfarlane's Batman figures are modeled after Jim Lee's version. I would like to see another interpretation.

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
That is a major turn-off for me, as I cannot stand Jim Lee's "art", no matter what company he worked for.

Re: McFarlane bringing back DC Superpowers line
I'm with the Hornet-- I love Jim as a person, I'm not a fan of his art-- no matter how talented he is. Give me the classic versions every time.
