just saw this posted dropcube with green lantern ,looks hopeful that this line continues and is more accessible in the future
On the plus Side i look forward to these store exclusives, look at how they are arriving in masse! Compared to how they released the turtles last year with like only 1 of each figure it’s a big welcome since we all can snag 1 or 2!What the hell, they have huge displays of these and I havent even seen one at my stores. I HATE STORE EXCLUSIVES!!!!
update to my price match suggestion ,just saw this posted as a way forwardHow accurate is Brickseek? Because all my stores are now showing the Batwing is $30. It was only $20 last week.
Brickseek is great however the deals are only for certain locations. You have to navigate the site to make sure you’re at the right one or even utilize the stores barcode scanner in the stores app to first confirm the price.How accurate is Brickseek?

Hey everyone,
I almost never post but I’m super excited about this Super Powers reboot and I’ve had the opportunity to speak with a McFarlane representative recently. They had a couple interesting things to share about the Super Powers line:
-There are no plans to re-release the original Kenner figures (the way that Hasbro has with the Star Wars Retro Collection). They said if that’s what people are expecting then we’re gonna be disappointed. We will continue to see characters/designs from that era (like the Wave 1 Superman) but they will be all new sculpts.
-Everyone at McFarlane is super excited about the line and they come to the different message boards to see which characters we want, so keep those lists coming.
-They asked me what character I was hoping to get the most, and I said an 80’s era Catwoman. They replied with “I can’t tell you if she’s coming or not, but I can tell you that you’re gonna be a happy man.”
-I also expressed interest in some of the Hanna-Barbera characters like the Wonder Twins. He said that they’re definitely not slated for the 1st year, but that they are well aware that a lot of adult collectors are hoping for them to show up to fill holes in the original line.
-Unrelated to Super Powers we talked about the 89 Batman line that they’re gonna be doing. Apparently they’re still working to secure the Nicholson likeness rights. It’s available but expensive, and they’re trying to weigh whether the price they’ll have to pay will be recouped in sales. Personally, aside from the 7” movie line, I’d love to see the movie characters sprinkled into the Super Powers line the way that Toybiz did in the 90’s.
Hopefully this line continues McFarlane’s track record of constant new figures showing up in the marketplace!
