I would not expect anything much more than repaints when it comes to DCH figs that have previously been released through the former "Comic line". Only the NEW stuff will actually be "NEW" entirely. Its all about the PROFIT.

The Mr. Freeze re-fresh of sorts is AMAZING. The Joker is perfectly acceptable, as well. Lex...oh, dear god. I'm absolutely blown away. I think Mattel may be pushing me into getting the Superman waves as well. I was going to abstain..but this is without a doubt shaping up to be the single greatest DC toyline of all time!

come on post Batgirl, I must see her! Then go to the comic shop on Wednesday and flip thru the magazine. NO ONE is to post scans here. We've done this for fans in the past, but unfortunately, our site gets a LOT of exposure..so we got an email from the various legal departments almost right away. And that is their right...we don't want any bad blood.

[shadow=red,left,300]I'm a bit disapointed in the Freeze and Joker repaints...i'll pass on those. But Darkseid and Luthor....wow! Like Matt, I had plans on passing up the Superman waves, but I think I've changed my mind.[/shadow]

What don't you dig about 'em? I'm not pleased about loving the Supes villains. Sigh. I thought I was done until late spring. ;D

[shadow=red,left,300]Concerning the Joker repaint..you're correct..the colors of his suit just don't do it for me. As for Freeze...I guess I'm of the mind if it's not broke, don't fix it. The first Freeze, paint apps and all, was perfect. [/shadow]

I guess I'm happy he's not neon green or camouflage, lol. I'm pleased with a re-fresh that can't be seen in the dark.

I think Cornboy said at RTM that these pics are the 2-ups which makes sense...because I'm pretty sure that is what the Freeze was supposed to look like the first time around. A couple years back they (4 Horsemen) were at an event (Funnyrama) sponsored by our comic shop... And they had the 2-ups of the "The Batman" Batman figure, the SDCC 2003 Batman, Mr Freeze. And if I'm not mistaken that was the paint scheme of the Freeze. He also had a freeze pistol to go with the freeze rifle. PJ

I'll have to head out to check those pictures. I was originally going to buy just a Supes figure, but if the villains look that good too I just have no choice ;D
I hope the new stuff for Cass looks good; she deserves a good figure (the DCD one didn't really count...)

I hope Freeze comes with that pistol PJ mentioned, if not I'll pass simply because I still like the first one. I'm not too fond of Jokers orange pants so I'll pas on that too unless there's some new accessories that I like. I'm definitely looking forward to that Darkseid and Luthor, I'll want those ASAP ;D

Count me IN for all of those-sweet lord they are great.I will get mr J-(no shock to any1 there)and Freeze because they look excellent. ATTENTION DC DIRECT-This is what Darkseid and Power Suit Lex are SUPPOSED to look like-these figures put all your attempts at both charaqcters to shame and I for one am glad to see it

Lex and Darkseid are deffinate wants and will most likely find their way to my shelves... Freeze and Joker are doubtful unless something about them happens to blow me away when I see in person.

Man, these are great. Ill have to wait and actually see Joker and Freeze first hand before i decide to buy or not, i tend to stay away from repaints due to space issues. As stated several times above tho, Lex and Darkseid are must haves!

These all look great, and Joker's colors aren't too bad, except for those pants. Man, I don't think anyone will be able to hear his jokes over pants that loud. If they just matched them with his jacket, I'd like this new color scheme even better than the old one. But as it stand now; orange.
Also, that Luthor is pretty keen. I'll probably end up dishing out some of my hard-earned money just to get my grubby mitts on it. Good thing I'm quitting smoking or I'd never have the jack for these.

release them all at once, now!!!! ;D
i am very excited to see SOME new stuff finally. toyfair can't come soon enough. i wonder if lex will have removable armor? joker's pants are indeed a little bit of a turn off, but IF he is in a better scale than the original, then i will probably pick him up. if i remember correctly, the original joker 2up was supposed to be slightly taller than batman. i hope toyfair will also have the 6 inch versions of these figures. 2ups don't represent what we're getting 100%. i'd be happy just to see how the first superman wave turns out in 6 inch form.

This series has such great potential. I am really excited and anxious to see what Matell has in store for the rest of this line.

Help me out here please...what's so different about Freeze? The lower portion of his arms appear to be a lighter blue but otherwise??? He's nearly identical to the one I have.
I also have the angry eyes version and will have to dig him out to compare.
