Wow...didn't think they'd be doing so many repaints. Doomsday looks like he's at a nightclub or something with that coloration.
What exactly is the lineup now? They seem to have changed it around and of course added a few waves with the change to "S3".

I really wish Mattel would stop dropping the ball and put out some new stuff. So far it's just repaint after repaint after repaint. How about something original, like a Green Lantern set or at least a figure that's not batman or superman and doesn't have Superman or Batman repainted or re-worked? The sculpts are absolutely fantastic for the most part but c'mon. 9-10 dollars a figure and comes with what, a crappy diorama?

I know repaints are rather annoying, but you really can't blame Mattel too much(perfectly fine if you blame DC/DC Direct, tho). It can't be easy to do an awesome figure line while being unfairly limited to only Batman and Superman-related comic figures. They can't release too many new characters per wave or they'll run out...plus the waves were only supposed to have four figures, so two of these are extra. We'll still be getting 3 all-new figures- Steel, Parasite, and the new Supergirl. The thing I'm really annoyed about is the apparent delay of the Batman wave, which by this point I'm absolutely dying for. That orange Doomsday is quite odd though, I must say...

I have a feeling this line is going to die like the 6" Batman line did. Please prove me wrong Mattel.

It does indeed look like Mattel is trying to kill this line. I'm glad I'm just sticking with Batman waves.

It does indeed look like Mattel is trying to kill this line. Blame DC Direct. They made Mattel limited to only Batman and Superman, and nonstory related characters, so we won't get an AzBats or Superman in his black suit.

They made Mattel limited to only Batman and Superman, and nonstory related characters, so we won't get an AzBats or Superman in his black suit. We can still blame Mattel for the case ratios. They put pics of the new Supergirl, Steel, and Parasite on the card back but then don't release a single one of them. I've got no problem with them releasing more of that wave 2 Superman, but Bizarro? Why not another Darkseid and Luthor (even at just 1 per case), it's not like there isn't plenty of Bizarro's left on the pegs already. Weren't Darkseid and Luthor just 1 per case when released in wave 4, and then droppend from wave 4.2? ...and don't even get me started on Kraft Dinner Doomsday.

People are starting to find Supergirl, Parasite, and Steel at Wal-Marts. Man they look awesome, I'm going to need a hookup to get them though, looks like TRU Canada dropped the line north of the border.

Went to Walmart today and got Supergirl, Parasite, Chrome Steel, and Lava Doomsday. 2 of each figure there at 2:30 in the afternoon. Not too much interest in Superman related toys in my area. That's good for me.

My WalMart had around 10 of each figure on Thursday! Picked up the following:
1xSupergirl 1xSuperman Variant 2xSteel regular 2xSteel chrome 2xParasite 2xDoomsday
Still need 1 more SG for my MOC set, but the paint apps weren't the best on the the ones I left there, the Steel figs looked pretty evenly distributed between chrome and regular versions.

At one walmart I found nothing but 6 whole pegs of Superman and Bizarros and one leftover Doomsday. At the other walmart I found superman's, bizarro's, and one Parasite. I was looking for JLU. Getting mad at not being able to find any of those.

I have to say that I am getting a bit fed up with waiting for new Batman figures from Mattel. Despite their lack of the DC master licence, they could still be producing some excellent Batman characters. The villains list is quite long and there are supporting characters plus Batman variants they could make. I wish they would step up to the plate a bit more.

Nothing but the Superman (Both reg & black/red symbol) and Bizarro cases around here. I wish I could find a case that had the Steel & Supergirl(blue shirt) in it. PJ

Is anybody else confused over what wave is what now?
It appears as if Wave 5 had Parasite, Orange Doomsday, Supergirl (new) and some mix of Chrome/Silver Steels in it. But all in different ratios? Wave 6 was Mongul, Kal-El, Bizarro w/ necklace, and dark Darkseid.
I know my WalMart had a wave of Superman, black emblem Superman, and normal Bizzaro's in it (Wave 4.5?) and then got Wave 6 just recently. I've never seen Wave 5 in any of it's forms yet. Card backs don't really help out here either like they did when the line was first started. Any help?
