The only thing missing from here is a figure stand or two. The Bat Grappel is the only thing I don't care about, but it is a neat idea.

Wonder Woman - Meh, I'll get her since it could be a while before a superior WW figure comes along.

Batgirl - Pretty much the same as WW. Not a fan of this childish look, but it should be better than what I have no from Mattel. Strange that they chose her before Dick though.

Deathstroke - OMG YES!! Not only is he in his classic design, but his sculpt looks down right incredible. I've already tossed my Mattel one out of my Detolf.

Cyborg - WTF is that ugly thing? Why does he have a car battery hooked up to him? Not fan of this at all. Hopefully the wires and battery are removable and don't ruin the look of his back. Nevertheless, this is one ugly figure. If I get it, it will be because it will do until a better one comes along.

Darkseid (and whomever Grail is) - This is an easy pass. He looks fugly and is way too big. If I'm going to have an oversized Darkseid, I might as well just stick with the Mattel one since he at least looks like Darkseid. Why couldn't they give us a classic one first? No idea who Grail is and I really don't care. $100 is way overpriced for a New 52 design. I would have rather spent that kind of money on a Jack Kirby Orion vs Darkseid and Kalibak set.

The best reveal of them all though...

SWAMP THING!!! I love that he is in the design from his original run (well, technically second). I do think they need to add a little brown to him, but it is going to be so nice to get rid of that rubbery mistake Mattel did. I love that he includes Cranius even though Mattel already did him.

In the end, I am excited for most of them, I just hope they don't really take 6 months to come out like the listings claim. That is just too long between waves.

If you're looking to get rid of that DC Classics Deathstroke, I'll gladly take him off your hands
