Love seeing the Super Powers branding, I grew up with them in the 80's and they were a ton of fun. The little gimmick "moving parts", the mini-comics, better articulation than Secret Wars figures, and nice classic designs were all cool features. I had a ton of them plus stuff like the Batmobile.

These McFarlane ones I suspect are for more of a younger crowd, they don't really capture the vintage feel for me. Like I associate Batman with the yellow logo from that era, and I'm not even sure what's going on with this Wonder Woman. The Superman's not too bad other than the cape being too long. It is fun seeing the old Supermobile again (I remember the old Corgi ones back in the day), but even here I'm going to nitpick again as the "S" logo isn't really period correct and just looks kind of off.

I wish someone like Super7 was doing these, they seem to have the retro "close enough" approach down.
