Super Powers

C'mon Rex, you're thinking what I'm thinking. they need to make Batman & the Outsiders. They already made Batman & Metamorpho. They need to make Black Lightning, Halo, Katana, Looker, Atomic Knight and Geo-Force in his Brown suit as well as his Green & Gold suit. They also need to make The New Teen Titans. Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Changeling, Starfire, Raven, Terra, Jericho, Kole and Aquagirl.
 
Don’t buy Super Powers, but Entertainment Earth has four Drop Zone markers up for Super Powers preorders this spring/summer. Approximate dates only. April-July. SPs are now EE exclusive.

If they do focus on Reign of Supermen figures, that seems like such a waste to me. The vintage Superman: Man of Steel line already did those characters for the most part in that same scale. With so few slots left, I'd hope that all the offerings would fit in that 1983 to 1985 era.

The MOS line is not really the same scale, and definitely not the same style, and they never did Cyborg Superman. I actually do have some of the MOS figures in my Supers Powers display, along with a custom Cyborg Superman, so I could live with out them, but I see the appeal of having them in the same style. However, I would be very skeptical of McFarlane doing a good job with Steel given all of the extra tooling required.

I think there's a good chance I'd cry from joy. A complete BATO in the scale from my childhood would be too much to take, ha! A complete Wolfman/Perez Titans should also have been top priority from day one. It was the biggest book at the time!
 
If they had continued doing characters outside of the Super Powers books, it should have been the Satellite JLA, New Teen Titans and Batman and the Outsiders. Followed by the JSA & Infinity Inc.

Finally! They kept moving it around on the Drop Zone page without a date, but implying dates by placing it in between other events, and it there were daily posts on the Super Powers Facebook page asking when they would be released. Now if they could just tell us what figures are actually in the wave, that would be nice.
 
Just trying to build up anticipation, I guess. I have to admit I'm curious about who these silhouetted figures are.
 
The white-templed Hal seems like some unnecessary wheel-spinning, but the other five are great! That Supergirl head sculpt is surprisingly nice.

This does beg that, of the remaining 18, 2 need to be Steel and Superboy, and possibly a Doomsday and/or Mongul. I’m hoping that we’ll get some more New Teen Titans, Satellite JLA, and I’m expecting Batman villains in there, but the numbers are getting tight.

Well, Supergirl knocks out my top want from the line, so this is a total win for me! With her out of the way, I can start grousing full-time about Zatanna & Black Canary.

Power-Girl looks great as well, but I'm otherwise set on this wave. Hal's definitely not a variant I need, nor is Robin (deep cut though, which I respect).

Eradicator & Cyborg Supes look great, but I don't want Super Powers figures of characters who didn't exist when the line was in production.
 
I am in for all 6. I have wanted a Power Girl in that outfit, but in the 6" - 7" scale.
 
Great Supergirl, that was kind of the most crucial one to get right here and they did. Wishing that Hal was a Kyle instead, but I'm always saying that about Lantern-related things. Solid set otherwise.

Feels a lot of these characters imply connected characters. Cyborg Supes and Eradicator without Steel, 90s Superboy, and Doomsday would be weird. Same with E2 Robin without Helena Wayne (and I could see them doubling up there, giving us both Huntresses like this wave having Supergirl and Power Girl). How many figures are left after this, 18?
