I'm suprised by the lack of detailing on the new 52 offerings.
They look to be constructed from pre existing bucks which lack the inlays and tubing on the new 52 designs. Red Robin looks good though. Clearly this is the Kingdom Come version. Supergirl is a pass for me.

Red Robin...Awesome. Too bad it is Kingdom Come version. I mean look at those biceps. No way is that Drake underneath the mask. Though one could say Todd...but that's something I don't want to say either since he threw it away during 52 (I think that or whatever the aftermath series of 52).

Superman I might get.
I have no need or desire for ANOTHER Barry Allen Flash... even worse with this one stealing Wally's belt design. Red Robin is *way* too bulky, as has been pointed out, to serve as Tim Drake (The only version I care about). And I see no need in owning a black repaint of Supergirl. With the exception of Red Robin, this is more what I thought we'd be getting from DC Allstars.

man, they didn't even bother to do new sculpts. The "trunks" are clearly visible on Superman.

Yes! Finally a wave I can 100% pass on and have no regrets! I get to save my money! (Not to mention I only want Batman Beyond from wave 1 . . .)

There's a good chance that I'll probably get the Superman figure from this wave. I like his new 52 design, and while this isn't a perfect representation of it, it still has the major details that I like about it. I just hope the head-sculpt looks good in-person (most Superman head-sculpts look horrible to me...).
Not sure if I'll get any of the others. I'll want to do some research on Red Robin before making a decision on him (I'm not familiar with him). While I appreciate the new 52 design of the Flash, I think I'll skip him. I've never really been a fan of the Flash in general. Supergirl is most likely a pass too. I have little interest in the character, let alone this particular costume for her. I can't wait to see what future waves of this re-branding has in-store for us. Hopefully it isn't too long before we get the new 52 designs for Batman, Wonder Woman, and Hal Jordan (the DCUC w20 AS Hal lacking his battery annoys me). Also, some more villains would be great. Edit: Now that I've read-up a bit on Red Robin...I'm probably more confused than I was beforehand, lol. Part of me hopes they advertise the figure as Dick Grayson's Red Robin, but I would also be fine with Tim Drake's Red Robin (though I agree, it is a bit to built for him). If it's advertised as either Jason Todd or Ulysses Armstrong (I think both are unlikely)...I still might get it, but I would refer to it as either Dick or Tim, tbh. In the end, the figure looks good, so I'll probably get him. With the new 52 designs certain characters are inevitably going to be made by Mattel. Part of me hopes one of those is Green Arrow. Most especially if they gave him a good looking bow with removable arrows (like the YJ Artemis and Red Arrow figures). Then again, if I get the wave 20 Green Arrow figure, I'm not sure I would still be interested in getting a figure of his new 52 design.

They don't look to have much articulation. Looks like DC Direct figures. I'm most likely wrong about that, but from the pictures at least, it seems that way.

I'd get the "New 52" stuff in hopes they make all of the JL from the "New 52". Guess it is a buy, but do not open until further notice!

I love how they always use the same body molds with bad articulation.

the way i see it, after giving this some thought, these aren't action figures at all. They are statues that coincidentally happen to have some articulation. You cant pose them other than standing in attention.

take the legs for example, they can only move up and down with no rotation at the hips. Same problem at the shoulders. If they can change the design at those four points, ill be absolutely giddy. And broke. but right now, with the figures i have now, i all i can do to pose them is pretended they're walking...
