i don't care for trigon's eyes... not demonic enough for me, just silly... but i'm curious as to how well the cape ends up coming out... the rest of him looks good, if a tad... plain. paint washes, they're not just for video game figs anymore! problem is, trigons' the only member of that wave i'd be interested in.

I don't much care for Trigon at all. I just hope he's wearing underwear. The cape thing annoys everyone here the same. That's crap.

The wave itself is one of the best to me. We get Negative Man for the Doom Patrol (and that 4H skull head is annoyingly awesome), Superboy for Reign of the Supermen, get more Wonder Woman villains with the two Cheetahs, Blue Beetle III and Blue Devil are are some fave characters, Donna Troy is a must have, and then Cyclotron. I can't tell you how excited I am to see Golden Pharaoh from the 4H. I'm waaaaaay much more for that than I should be.

But DC collectors of my age have been talking about the second coming of Super Powers for a quarter of century. Was it the Animated line? Was it Total Justice? Was it JLU? Was it DC Direct? It was none of those, Mattel placing the Super Powers specific characters here, with 4H sculpts, and great articulation? It's a major dream realized.

Noisy, do we know who replaced Huntress in wave thirteen? I'm assuming it was either Donna or Cheetah - probably Donna, since Cheetah is the wave's villain (Trigon notwithstanding).

And wasn't Phantom Stranger supposed to be there instead of either Blue Devil or Blue Beetle?
Just sayin'.

I never did hear specifically on who was bumped for who. I just heard that DC had them hold back on Robin & Huntress and that Phantom Stranger got shuffled out when the switch was made.

The rough pattern for 2010 seems to be...

A-List
Play Pattern
JSA
DP/Metal Men
5th Slot
6th Slot
Super Powers

If we guess (assume) that Robin & Huntress were the Play Pattern (replaced by Superboy & Donna Troy), then we might also assume that Blue Beetle was the addition (in slot 4) since Negative Man was kicked to slot 6 for some reason. Still, the JSA slot is misaligned. Unused actually. That wave is just weird.

It really is a weird wave. You have to wonder exactly how much of it was hodgepodged together and brought about by external factors more so than actual planning - even beyond Huntress, Robin, and the Phantom Stranger.

I definitely think there was more to it.

Plus, the pairing of Phantom Stranger and Felix Faust seems so natural to me, it's hard to believe they weren't always a pair in the planning stages.

I knew I saw that giant tag somewhere...

I wonder if Trigon has to wash his cape in cold water only.

LOL

It probably says: "Don't let your toddlers try to swallow this cape. It might hinder the oxygen flow, and toddlers like oxygen for, you know, living."

Or the equivalent, in disclaimer-speak. [domo]

Fwoosh is teasing with this pic of Negative Man (they have Optikk up too, so they got a nifty good bag from the sounds of it)...

Anyway, now we know why the skull looks so realistic under the clear face...
