When I was six I found the original GL figure in the toybin in kindergarten. This brings back a lot of memories! And I want that Lord Superman!

New Super Powers: Hal Jordan GL, Sinestro and Justice Lords Superman.

I will always wonder how they can create these characters...but not Ultraman, Owlman, Emerald Knight, Johnny Quick and Supewoman.

And here’s Batman of Zur-En-Arrh.

If they are going to do that, then they could do this too.

Batman Revenge Squad

For Lord Superman all you have to do is repaint a regular Superman. Not design a whole new chest symbol. And we may get those down the line.

Beyond the point brought up below about ease of reuse, the Justice Lords were the antagonists of a very popular and memorable episode of the Justice League TV show, so it’s not shocking they’d do a figure of that Superman.

It’s also just a very good and striking design as far as evil Supermen go.

You reuse whatever body molds and parts that you have.

To cut costs.

Eventually I would suspect those guys will show up as other figures get made that need a new part here and there.

I mean we still have yet to see old school Static in this line yet. Parts for him should exist by now outside of his hat and coat.

BVS Batman


Crisis on Infinite Earths wave with Earth-2 Superman, Wally West Kid Flash, the Spectre, Psycho-Pirate and the Monitor Build-a-Figure.

Not bad, but should have included a female. The faces on Wally and Golden Age Kal seem off to me. Spectre is solid. If I see that in a store, it will be hard to resist (despite own the DCD and DCUC versions of Jim Corrigan).

I MUST HAVE that Kid Flash/Wally figure!
I'll buy it from e(VIL)Bay if it isn't released here in Australia.

[Noodle]

Kind of odd they did Monitor as a build a figure when they did Anti-Monitor as a deluxe stand alone. You'd think it would be the other way around.

I have the original E-2 Superman that came out with the original COIE series back in the late 2000s. I liked it better than this one. But I do want that Spectre.

Yeah E-2 Supers looks like a disgruntled old man.

Yeah E-2 Supers looks like a disgruntled old man.

Superman figures have not had good luck lately with their faces.

The last one looked like Danzig and this one seems like he smells something stinky.
