that is 30 full size statues that I am assuming will be released in 2018. Quite an impressive list.

that is 30 full size statues that I am assuming will be released in 2018. Quite an impressive list.

According to Tweeterhead via Facebook, about 20 more statues will go up for pre-order this year.

[Bob Morton]

Oh boy... this is not good. I am interested in the following:

(1) Batman
(2) Martian Manhunter
(3)Flash
(4) Green Lantern
(5)Mr. Miracle
(6) Orion
(7)Darkseid
(8) Dessad
(9) Kalibak
(10) Adam Strange

So 10 statues at $260? I really hope they do not look any good and I can skip them all!!

[ComicJesus]

Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, Batman, Shazam I am definitely interested in. They should do a Deathstroke though. I’d like Watchmen too but I’m not sure that would fit with the other stuff here. Watchmen are a part of the DC universe now though. Dark Knights Metal would be really cool. I’m just thinking of a lot of stuff I know SS won’t make.

[haljordan99]

I definitely had to sit down and write a list of all the characters I really wanted because I can’t afford the entire line. Even then my list still had 50 characters. :p

[SludgesicleMan]

This line is going to be amazing if they get it right. I'm so excited for the Titans line.

Deathstroke is planned. I specifically asked for him and was told he was coming.

Watchmen is not on the table at this moment. Neither is the dark Knight metal. Far too many others in the superpowers actual line up to make

[Gothamite]

Is Batgirl going to be in grey costume/blue cape?

Gothamite this may give you a perspective on plans for BG. This response was inn the ask TH thread.


"I’ve always wanted to see a great batgirl sculpt with her purse attached to her utility belt."

[Gothamite]

Thanks!

[psecchi]

No Aquaman planned?

[statue-man]

I Was just looking at the list that is in progress that's 31 statues in 1 year. Bowen designs never released more then 2 a month at any time. I don't want to see quantity over quality. I would rather see Tweeterhead take their time and put out fantastic pieces. The Superpowers Superman maquette, is the best Superman I have seen. I have seen people compare it to the Sideshow 1/4 scale superman because it is almost the same pose and the same type base. The Sideshow is way to big and wrapped in a costume, The Tweeterhead Superman is a true superior sculpt in my opinion. The second I saw it, I went to the Tweeterhead site and paid for it in full. I was done with collecting, and had sold off 98% of my collection. Seeing this piece lite that old fire, and I'm not a big fan of Supes. I can't wait for Tweeterhead next piece to be put up for order. I hope they show the Batman, work in progress soon. The Yamato Batman has caught my eye. I will wait and see, I would rather have a Tweeterhead Batman statue. I think Tweeterhead is doing a terrific job. I hope to build my collection again, at one time I had 163 Bowen statues now I have 1

The yamato matador batman? TH's Bats is gonna be sweet. I agree with you on the Superman. it is my first Superman statue.

[Tweeterhead]

Hey There,

Just wanted to chime in and discuss the list. I don't want to scare anyone off from this collection by over saturating it.

We will definitely not be releasing more than two pieces a month...more is way to much to throw at you guys every month and honestly, a lot to keep up on. Plus out of those two pieces a month, remember that they include some of our 66 Batman pieces, New Wonder Woman TV show pieces, and a few surprises!!

We're about to do our first LIVE Facebook video showing all 11 Superpowers Pieces so far (Steppenwolf and Donna Troy are included in this 11).

The list is correct but pieces like the Metal Men, while being worked on won't be released this year and will take more than a year to release all of them!

Looking forward to giving a wide range of characters this year and then making this line YOUR line, taking ideas from your polls and moving forward.

Hope this help for those folks worried about the amount of pieces we will be releasing!

To me, I wasn’t worried by the amount of pieces you will be releasing but providing this list was more about the diversity of characters that you are willing to produce. As a avid collector, this is awesome!!

So bring on the JLA, the Legion and Teen Titans!! Assemble the Legion of Doom .... more is better from my point of view.

[Pendragon3000]

Bring Camelot 3000, Omega Men and Jack Kirby’s New Gods and I will be really happy.

[jeremydmc]

I now have 5 of my 9 1/4 statues going to the "for sale" pile to make room for this collection. I cancelled all but 1 of my PO's for future 1/4's as well. Cannot wait to see the 11 on the live show!

[Tweeterhead]

Hey Jeremy,

The 11 we are showing aren't all new! They are

Harley
Supergirl
Mr M
Kandor and base
Joker
Bud and Lou
Wonder Woman
Superman
Martian Manhunter
Donna Troy
Steppenwolf

The idea is really to just show you them all together so you can see what kind of a collection we are assembling.

Also, I hope to show one more piece that's not a SP piece! Hoping to at least have one version of her, if not the version with the huge cape and skirt too!

Sounds like I may be adding another PO to my list!

[Augen]

Big Barda is on that list! I hope it is a good one, she always gets left out of various DC heroine lines.

[haljordan99]

Has anybody ordered every statue so far?

[jeremydmc]

Has anybody ordered every statue so far?

I have all but Mr. M ordered. If the quality of the first one is as good as the prototypes I may add him on as well.

[BurningRage]

Has anybody ordered every statue so far?

I have.

[haljordan99]

Impressive. I passed on Bud & Lou as I have no idea who they are.

[Buddy Bradley]

I've ordered all of the Superman related statues, so I'll probably be adding Braniac and Superboy when they're available. I'm curious about which version of Superboy they'll be doing.

[omigeo]

I hope they come up with a "silver surfer"...Well I know its a marvel line but hey, one can dream :)
Perhaps they can take this online on?

[generalzodlives]

Has anybody ordered every statue so far?

I have. I'm all in on this line.

[Pendragon3000]

I think I’ll be getting all the New Gods if they do a great job with them.

[FastballSpecial]

I need Green Lantern!

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I need Green Lantern!
Put me down for wanting one too.

[Augen]

That would be great!

Do a whole line of them, Alan, Hal, Kyle, Jon, Guy, Jessica, and then throw in the other Lantern colors characters. Where's Star Sapphire and Dex Starr?!

I would love to see these in full 1/6 statue form together.

Were the other Lantern colors part of the Super Powers Collection?

[Malvo]

I just want something SS hasn't done in the 6 1/2 years it's had the DC licence, and something they'll most likely will never do......a classic line of the original 7 Justice League members. Anything above and beyond that is a bonus.

[FJC]

So true. Sideshow really hung their classic JL PF customers out to dry.

[Mister H]

Personally, I would love a Guy Gardner statue. He’s had zero love from anyone. Well overdue.

[jeremydmc]

Were the other Lantern colors part of the Super Powers Collection?

Sinestro for sure, Star Sapphire....maybe. Probably none of the others though since they were introduced far later.

[Malvo]

So true. Sideshow really hung their classic JL PF customers out to dry.

Myself included. Tweeterhead has had this licence for about 6 months and they've already put 3 of the original 7 members up for pre-order with Batman, the Flash, and the Green Lantern all scheduled for release before the end of the year. And I imagine Aquaman won't be far behind. If you like fully sculpted and don't mind 1/6 scale, they're the only way to go at this point.

[BOWEN NUT]

I'd like to think Tweeterhead is gonna due an Aquaman.... but since it isn't confirmed and nothing has been mentioned I hold my doubts for the Original 7 JLA. :(

[haljordan99]

Have faith! I'm willing to bet they finish the original 7 before Sideshow does...and they've had 5 or 6 years to do it already.

[Jack's Username]

Personally, I would love a Guy Gardner statue. He’s had zero love from anyone. Well overdue.

Seconded. I hope to be able to put together a JLI display from this line.

[Philintheblank]

I'd like to think Tweeterhead is gonna due an Aquaman.... but since it isn't confirmed and nothing has been mentioned I hold my doubts for the Original 7 JLA. :(

We've got years to go, hopefully. Plenty of time. If this is going to turn into DC's Bowen like they hope it will, we've got many more releases to be announced. I think the original JLA is a given.

[FJC]

We have no reason to doubt Tweeter. I have no fear that a Big 7 original lineup will not happen. Hell, we already have Martian Manhunter and he's arguably the least known Big 7 member. Not to mention some of the other lesser known DC characters Tweeter already has in the works. Has any other company already released a Donna Troy, Steppenwolf, or Mr. Mxyzptlk statue? I think we are in good hands with Tweeter.

[grphyx1]

I'd like to think Tweeterhead is gonna due an Aquaman.... but since it isn't confirmed and nothing has been mentioned I hold my doubts for the Original 7 JLA. :(
Well he is part of the kenner superpowers line so pretty safe bet he'll be done. That and the fact that he has one of the best costume out there (deathstroke beats him in that dept.).

Yeah, sideshow has me raging right now. I bought their first 5 JL PFs. Just need a Flash and Martian Manhunter to finish off the 7 original members. Who knows if they'll make them, and if they do, I dread to think what sideshowified costumes they will be wearing.

[FJC]

Geez, if Tweeter nails a classic Perez Deathstroke, one of my dreams will have come true.

[SludgesicleMan]

It will probably instantly be my favorite statue ever produced.

[Shoo]

I don't understand how you can doubt they're going to do Aquaman. And here's why:

Has any other company already released a Donna Troy, Steppenwolf, or Mr. Mxyzptlk statue? I think we are in good hands with Tweeter.

A Mr. Mxyzptlk statue! Come on, how on earth are they not going to do Aquaman? ;-)

[BurningRage]

I wonder if they’ll continue to make lessor known characters if sales aren’t good.

[statue-man]

With all these heroes, we need some bad guys

Brainiac, Luthor, and Darkseid to name a few. Maybe the Legion of Doom

https://i.imgur.com/AUImQG2.jpg

[bwestley13]

I wonder if they’ll continue to make lessor known characters if sales aren’t good.

They have always gone more for niche/cult items. Pieces like Mr Mxyzptlk are slated with an edition size of 250. Even more popular figures like Joker, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman have been announced to have only 1500 reg and 500 EX.

As long as they are able to sell every that they make, they are doing well. If you see someone selling something for 30% off, they are not losing money on it, that is under still under standard mark up for a third party. Hopefully they will keep up with the great Black Friday deals.

[Hellboy]

What Tweeterhead is currently putting together with their Super Powers line is really a dream come true for me. Since I started collecting I always hoped we’d see a company do what Bowen did for Marvel but with DC. Great character diversity and a price/scale that allows one to collect a wide assortment of heroes/villains without breaking the bank or needing an addition built onto their home to display it.

Based on the list posted it’s looking like I’m in for at least 19 pieces. I need to free up some serious room. It’s exciting to be in on the ground floor with this.

Tweeterhead just asked on FB which Starfire people prefer. So go vote if you're on there.

It's close with the classic Perez version [A] up by 11 votes so far.

[haljordan99]

I don’t care which costume they use, but if A wins I hope they include a second head. That hairdo is so outdated.

[marvelboi77]

I voted for A just now.. I'm shocked B got so many votes. The post has 115 comments so far and I can guarantee you that 20 Percent of those people have not even bought any yet. I have pre ordered Supergirl and Wonder Woman direct from Tweeterhead, customers votes should count more...

I didn't vote because I don't see me buying it, but if I had to choose B would be my preference. Then again with Supergirl they went retro and I don't like that costume was I understand my personal biases here.

[Malvo]

I thought the primary focus of this line was to produce classic characters from the 80's. Seems to me a 1980 Starfire based on the artwork of George Perez fits that description to a T.

[JP Sarri]

Classic!

[ObsidiansReveal]

How odd...I mean, the Perez Starfire IS the Super Powers era Starfire. Don't tell me they're already going off the rails with this line...

[Josh-a-tron]

How odd...I mean, the Perez Starfire IS the Super Powers era Starfire. Don't tell me they're already going off the rails with this line...

I don't think these are necessarily Super Powers Era based, more over just "classic" renditions. Which either Starfire Costume could be.

[ObsidiansReveal]

And I thought these were all being based On Jose Garcia Lopez's designs, which are based on his style guide art. But they want to insert a Michael Turner version into the mix suddenly?? Should I just stop collecting these?

[ObsidiansReveal]

Turner's Starfire is not classic, however. And this is literally called the Super Powers line.

[haljordan99]

I thought the primary focus of this line was to produce classic characters from the 80's.

The first character in the line didn’t even exist in the 80s.

Turner's Starfire is not classic, however. And this is literally called the Super Powers line.

I think the name is meant as an homage, doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t get modern characters.

[ObsidiansReveal]

They weren't going to omit Harley, c'mon. But Starfire did exist then, and there is a Super Powers version of her, the classic one.

[ObsidiansReveal]

And if the Titans are being done with Donna in her classic duds, from a design by Garcia-Lopez, then a Turner Starfire is going to look awfully funny alongside it.

[BrandonJF]

The first character in the line didn’t even exist in the 80s.

I think the name is meant as an homage, doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t get modern characters.

Exactly - I have never been under the impression that this line was meant to represent the 80s look of characters. The branding is confusing, sure, but like you said - the first character didn't even exist... or Bud and Lou.

And I doubt we'd actually get a "Turner" Starfire. It's a choice of costumes/hair. I really don't think I'd prefer that 80s hair.

[Punisher_]

BBBBBBBBBBBBBB

[ObsidiansReveal]

If Garcia Lopez does the sketches he can tweak the hair, but keep the original costume (which is a better design, frankly). But I don't see the point in doing a classic look line (which even Harley fulfills, in her original duds) and then to go off the rails and just do looks from whatever era. It's pointless to collect series of characters if they're going to not work together.

[Hellboy]

Tweeterhead has already stated the ‘Super Powers’ moniker is simply being used to illustrate the broad approach the line is taking with the DC Universe. It is not confined to any one artist, style or era and you’re likely to see multiple versions of popular characters.

[bwestley13]

I would prefer an Adam Hughes Starfire to either Perez or Turner. She should be a sexier character.

I don't think Tweeterhead knows where they want to go with this line. Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley and Joker are done in a modern designs with classic looks. Mxyzptlk, Supergirl, Steppenwolf, Martian Manhunter, and Donna Troy all look like complete throwbacks.

Harley is the only one that I have ordered so far. I dislike the super tall bases on these 1:6 scale pieces more than anything.

[jadekite22]

The two Starfire costumes aren't really that different and I agree they made it clear the Super Powers title isn't an obligation to represent the costumes from that era. I imagine we'll eventually have multiple Batmans, as the villains so far have a less comic-stylized look than the Superman and Wonder Woman, for example.

As much as I love Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez's artwork, his designs have just been sketches so far. The sculptors, such as Jack Matthews on Supergirl, are already taking liberties/putting their personal touch on the portraits, so it's unrealistic to expect the line to look like the 80s style guides.

Still, TH's sculpting talent is impeccably curated and, considering Martian Manhunter and Superman look fine together despite Matt Black and Paul Harding's almost opposing styles, I wouldn't be worried about the line not jelling.

Personally I don't see a problem with this. It reminds me of what Bowen did with its Marvel license. Mixing and releasing classic and modern versions throughout various phases. I like it!

I don't think Tweeterhead knows where they want to go with this line. Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley and Joker are done in a modern designs with classic looks. Mxyzptlk, Supergirl, Steppenwolf, Martian Manhunter, and Donna Troy all look like complete throwbacks.


I don't think any look like "throwbacks", unless you're just talking about the costume (in which case I think your issue only applies to Supergirl/Steppenwolf/Donna Troy").

Tweeterhead does not seem to be emulating any specific artist. Even when a design is by Garcia-Lopez, it's not like I could look at the statue and go "That's Garcia-Lopez." (kind of like how Sideshow had an Adam Hughes line that went with his concepts and then made the portraits not really look like Hughes' art)

There is no way we have a chance of getting a "Michael Turner" Starfire. We'd get a Starfire in that costume, but it's not going to look like Turner's art.

As others have pointed out, Bowen seems like the more appropriate model. I don't have any Bowen statues (and I have almost every Spider-Man villain and a couple of Spideys) where I would say they represent any particular artist. I could probably spot a "Bowen" statue out of a line-up, though.

I think a lot of people are missing one simple point with all the nit picking speculations and doubts. And that is that finally collectors like myself and others can finally have a Dc universe of characters in statue form all in the same style and size range (whatever range that is dosent really matter to me, 1/6 or slightly bigger or smaller than 1/6 is irrelevant) as they will all look good together, and with more Heros and villains that have never been done before by anyone. No more will I have to suffer threw the so tired retreading of the same old Dc. Characters by other companies! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Harly Quinn, Cat Woman, Poison ivy... rinse and repeat endlessly...oh and Batman again just caus ya know it’s Batman! I for one haven’t been excited about a line of statues like this in a long time, and while I have no problem with others raising there concerns and opinions about this line and company,(in fact it’s why I come here to learn things) I for one am just glad we have this line to speculate and nitpick about. Just saying!

[FastballSpecial]

Let’s see Batman and Green Lantern already!

[built2shred]

This line does look awesome... keep in mind that XM has a global license to do 1/6 DC statues so you might be able to mix and match some of their statues with Tweeterheads to get the look you want... Maybe :)

[Philintheblank]

I don't mind a mix of eras at all. As long as we get a modern-ish version on the bigger characters if they go retro. ...I'm not really interested in a cape and dress version of Catwoman.

^Should be interesting to see how XM stacks up against this line...

Totally. For years, people asked Randy to aquire the DC license. Unfortunately, the powers that be did not let it happen. And although no one knows the future, it is good to see a company finally taking the plunge. You never know, this may be the next best thing. Time will tell.

I forgot XM even had the license since they’re doing nothing with it. They originally announced the DC license in October 2016 and then announced it was 1/6 in July. Six months later and still nothing.

If it’s anything like their 1:4 scale license we won’t be seeing traditional interpretations of the characters we know but instead elseworlds type themes ala Samurai Batman/Joker.

[Punisher_]

If XM Studios does make a1/6 DC line they will probably be like 400 bucks.

[jadekite22]

Pretty close, if their pricing (the blame for which could equally fall on HMO) for the HX sixth scale Avengers line is any indication. I liked that line more than Sideshow's 1:5 Avengers Assemble one, but both are priced around the same as what a PF used to cost from what I remember seeing on BBTS and eBay.

[JP Sarri]

Too rich for my blood. The max I'm willing to pay for newly released 1/6 pieces is $300. Not interested beyond that. I rather pay the mortgage.

[neomatrix99]

with 3D printing there are plenty of companies out there now

[Bob Morton]

XM's style is not comics booky, it is highly detailed and realistic looking. I personally live the comic book look of Tweeterhead and Bowen. I don't like the XM and Prime One detailed statues. I am sure there are lots of people with me on this one.

XM doesn't really have a singular style yet, but I also wouldn't expect that from a company that assigns one individual sculptor per piece compared to Sideshow, which assigns entire teams of sculptors per piece. Tweeterhead and Bowen have strong creative direction and master painters like David Fisher that have helped define the style up the Super Powers line, but that's also due to the TH's kitschy subject matter and Bowen's appreciation for simplicity, even when doing characters in their modern costumes. XM has realistic (Cable) and Bowen-esque (Thor) pieces, both of which are very assured efforts, as are TH's Classic comic Batman pieces compared to their '66 television series ones. I wouldn't classify any company really, with obvious exceptions like Electric Tiki or Tsume, by one set of strengths.

They said it's a comic book license unlike their 1:4 which had to be Asian theme in design... but XM does take liberties when it comes to comic book outfits, so I'm not really sure what to expect from them... should be interesting..

As for price, since it's a global license companies like BBTS and Secret Compass can buy them for wholesale where as before they had to pay retail and add their profits on top of that..

Excellent observations. I like XM, don't get me wrong. Many of its statues are gorgeous pieces of art, sculpted and painted by very talented people. Quality, content, packaging, attention to detail and customer service interaction are also unmatched. However, I am a simple man. I love comic book accuracy and a "less is more" approach. Space and value are also at the top of my list. As someone who has been collecting for many years and has seen the industry moving back and forth, I know that I am not alone on this. Many collectors feel the same way as I do.

Tweeterhead is taping into a big part of the market that was left unattended after the departure of Bowen Designs. Yes, other companies have attempted to take the mantle with various degrees of success, but no one has been able to reproduce Bowen's magic. As of now, Tweeterhead appears to have the right approach, and it is marvelous to see people getting excited for smaller scale pieces again. Only time can tell but for now, I am very glad.

[Golden_Griffin]

Thinking Tweeterhead's Superman is VERY similar to the Sideshow Premium Format Figure. Base, stance, cape. It's like he took a step and looked the other way.

[statue-man]

I think people who think Tweeterhead statues are going to match with Bowen designs size are going to be surprised. Bowen's were advertised at 1/6 scale but were really 1/7 to 1/8 scale. I just picked up the Yamato Batman statue 1/6 scale and it is 14 inches tall, and that's just the Batman Figure. I think Tweeterhead will come in about 13 to 14 inches tall excepy maybe the ladies which will probably be in the 12 inch to 12 1/2. This is my own opinion.

Nope. You are right on. Tweeterhead pieces are 1/6 scale and won't match up with Bowens. But who displays DC with Marvel. Ok some might but I won't so the Tweeterhead will look great on their own.

I was just wondering. Does anybody know, if the statues of the Super Powers line actually got a specific edition size. Because, so far I couldnt find any information on that. In an unboxing of the Harley Quinn one, I've heard that there were 2 edition size informations. One said: It would be 300, the other 350. :D

Chad had posted on FB months ago that the edition size for the EX was to be 500, the shipper says 300 and the base has 350

https://i.imgur.com/GiNCGTI.png

[Hellboy]

Whatever is listed on the bottom of the base is likely the true ES.

The ES’s posted by Chad last year were estimated so they may difffer from piece to piece. They shouldn’t be any higher but the may be lower depending on how well a piece sold.

Same here. Nothing gets bought before I see Batman. Whatever I'm interested in from Tweeter will hinge on what the Bat looks like. The only piece I make break down and buy before Batman is Deathstroke. If Tweeter releases an amazing classic Perez Deathstroke, I wouldn't hesitate for even a second to PO that.

1) There will be a Batman eventually.

2) If you refuse to buy any statues before Batman is announced, you risk missing out on them due to low ES sizes.

[Augen]

It's perfectly reasonable to wait and see on a line, you just cannot be too upset if you miss out on earlier pieces. Wonder Woman sold this line to me in terms of quality so trusting the extensive list will be done justice *fingers crossed on two Big Barda pieces touched on*

[Demona]

OMG I need that Catwoman!!! Dream come true with that costume design.

[Primus]

First off if your waiting for one character in a line chances are your not really interested in the line itself, witch is fine but let’s not pretend otherwise. Secondly the only reason Batman hasent been seen yet is because they went back to the drawing board to make it better, how many companies do that nowadays? And he will be the only Dc character yet to have two variations right out of the gate. Many like myself have been waiting for a Dc line like this for quite some time 30 years for me personally, waiting a few months for a Batman showing is not a big deal. it’s called patience you should try it!

I am with Primus on this one...enough with BATMAN there are over 1000 statues of him. How many shazam, martian manhunter or the wonder twins?


They have released ten statues and you wont buy any because of Batman? Where is the logic in that I buy ones I like. The superman is one of the best 1/6 I have seen of him.

Gotta agree with the last few posts re: Batman. You guys need to chill out. Multiple versions have already been confirmed and he’ll get here when he gets here. If you’re holding out on getting into the line as a result that’s on you. This isn’t a Batman line, it’s a DC line.

Per chad at tweeterhead he is trying to make his line the "bowen of DC". One statue does not make the bowen line :banghead:

Because I am a Batman fan. I'm looking for very specific pieces in this scale since I already have most of the DC characters I want in 1/4 scale. So, it all ends and begins with the Bat for me. The only other lineup I may pick up is a classic Perez Titans line. That said, I love the Tweeter Joker but won't pick him up unless I love their Batman.

It doesn't matter to me if other members here agree with my opinion or not. I collect for myself and spend my money on what I want and how I see fit. So, if Tweeter wants my money...show me the Batman.

I'm hoping that the Legion of Super Heroes includes the original Superboy, he existed in the Comics from 1946 to June of 1984. He introduced the Legion to the world 1958 along with Mon-El in Superboy #89 1961. DC tried to erase him by rewriting Superman's history after 39 years. No statue group of the Legion would be complete without the Original Superboy.

Obviously it's because Batman is hugely popular. That's why there will always be so many people clamoring for Batman statues and why so many are made. Here's hoping you get your Captain Marvel statue soon. He's certainly deserving of a great statue. There's no doubt in my mind Tweeter will get around to him.

I’d like to see Tweeterhead do a series of mini busts, like Bowen Designs did. There are a lot of DC characters I would like to have but just not in full size form.

[mmk123]

I am actually surprised that no one asked him that question on the last two facebook livestreams he did about mini busts. I watched both of them and never once did the subject of mini busts ever come up. I definitely can see the appeal of a mini bust and that is how I started my statue buying was via the Bowen mini busts (like so many of us did) but personally, if it is a character that I want I would rather have the FS statue.

Also, I know that Bowen stopped doing mini bust for the most part when he went into his last phase. I heard it was because they were not selling as well as they once were (not sure if that is true or not).

[Philintheblank]

Speaking of mini busts...anyone been looking at Bowens on ebay? :itsb: prices have jumped.

Anyway, I think a mini bust line would be cool, but I have a feeling they're going to stick to the statues.

Every release has been a classic version of the character. Shazam will be no different. Tweeter isn't Sideshow. They aren't going to release 20 classic statues then lose their collective minds and start releasing modern or made up stylized versions of these characters. They aren't going to hang their classic fans out to dry like Sideshow did. Expect classic 70's - 80's era costumes. Tweeter will deliver them.

Tuesday May 1 is Batman Day. I really hope Tweeterhead shows us the Batman sculpt they have planned. All this Poison Ivy and Infinity War statue talk is great and everything, but none of it holds a candle to Bats.

[Augen]

Happy for Bat fans, my main interest is San Diego Comic Con where Tweeterhead has promised lot of news in terms of announcements and sculpts.

May 1st is National BATMAN DAY

I don't see a live video update, scheduled for this week. I thought The Super Powers Batman maquette was to be previewed this day.

[haljordan99]

It's pretty quiet. I hope they come through with the Batman reveal tomorrow. There are going to be a lot of upset people on here if it doesn't happen.

[SkiLLessOne]

They just showed a silhouette of the Batman statue, going to show the digital sculpt tomorrow.

[Medusoid]

Just a little tease of things to come ... TOMORROW @ NOON you’ll get to see the the full digital sculpt in celebration of BATMAN DAY!

I'm new to the forum and Tweeterhead. Has there been any mention of Aquaman, Mera, or Aqualad? Or Zatanna in the satellite-era purple/blue and white Perez costume?

Don't think we've mentioned Aqualad or Mera. I know Aquaman and Zatanna (perez style) has been discussed.

You can check this post out. This poll was done when the superpowers line was announced.

Thanks! I'm so impressed with the era Tweeterhead has chosen to focus on (JLA satellite-era/Silver Age/Super Powers). So excited for eagle-crested Wonder Woman, pirate shirt/hot pants Supergirl, Donna Troy as Wondergirl, and purple dress Catwoman. Most of these versions have never been made into statues. I have high hopes for Silver Age Shayera/Hawkwoman, Mera, Zatanna, and Cheetah (who must have more than one head when released).

[No1WonderFan]

Question: Would people be interested in the Super Powers versions of Robot Brainiac or Power Suit Lex Luthor? I hated Robot Brainy as a kid and wasn't a big fan of Lex's exo Power Suit. I'd much rather have the Super Friends/comics (pre-1983) versions with Lex in purple and green and Brainiac with green skin and (yes) the shorts. I think those are the only interpretations I'd buy as statues. Tweeterhead did end up going with the pre-Super Powers version of Supergirl after all.

I would rather have the green skinned Braniac and non power suit Lex for sure.

I'd prefer Robot Brainiac, but not by much. Lex is another story - I greatly prefer the exo suit "Super Powers" version.

Any word on when we’ll see Flash?

So, it looks like Huntress is scheduled for 2019. Will it be this costume?

Since the Super Powers line is based on how the characters looked from the late's to mid 80's, I would think that would be the version of the Huntress that they would produce.

They pulled it off with Catwoman so I'm optimistic about Huntress.

Ah, I see. I really shouldn't get excited since it will likely be Wayne but depending on the sculpt it may be possible to convert it to Bertinelli.

If I have to choose, I personally go with the Super Powers robot Braniac look and probably go with the power suit as well... but I would buy Luthor in either look.

I’d be down with the robo brainiac AND the green brainiac for the LoSH set.

Yeah, hopefully there will be multiple options.

They are not on the list but I think they are pretty much confirmed since they are part of the new titans. I also remember tweeterhead confirming kid flash on the forum or sideshow freaks.

Starfire is the next Titan right? This is going to be an amazing statue if the previous ones are any indication. Can’t wait to see what they come up with. I can see some kind of flying pose, like they did with Harley.

[Demona]

I am so glad I am more Marvel than DC bc I would be royally F'ed if Tweeterhead did this with the MCU (mostly X-Men). With DC I can get a few of my faves and be content :)

That's what I used to say with Bowen. I am more of a DC guy than Marvel so I only bought a couple. Now Tweeterhead has me in it's grasp.

I have my heroine theme collection so that cuts down a good 60-70% of statues for me. Even with that Tweeterhead could see me buy anywhere from ten to twenty statues in the coming years.

As much as I loved the way they made Harley fly, Tweeterhead needs to find a better way to support the in flight statue than clear resin which leans over time, at least where I am.

Hell yeah, bring it! I'm sure Tweeterhead could make even this look cool.

[cyberpunk12]

Assuming this line goes for years as advertised, I've been pondering edition sizes... particularly where the big guns are concerned.

We're going to get Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman in year one with really low edition sizes. Only 250 exclusive Superman statues made?!? I'm totally surprised it hasn't sold out already... same for Wonder Woman. The regular releases will be higher runs but if made to order, I'm thinking they're going to be lower than we expect.

If I don't start putting the JLA together until I see Hawkman, Firestorm, and Red Tornado, then I've already long missed out on the Trinity who SHOULD be going for decent money on the secondary market... which would discourage from getting into the line in the first place.

How will Chad walk the line between keeping interest high (with sell outs and attractive edition sizes) yet still be welcoming to newer collectors down the road?

Do you guys think Tweeterhead should do any open-editions for key characters (the regular releases perhaps?) or do you think they should do revisits as the line progresses (as Bowen Designs did)? Has anyone heard Chad comment on the subject?

[Augen]

I have no issue with doing second runs if demand is there, but I understand if they cannot afford to do so.

[Hellboy]

If Tweeterhead did second editions of the same statue you’d see a lot of irritated collectors IMO. I am of the opinion that if a company thinks it might do this it’s only ethical if you disclose it from the very beginning, and they have not. Were these not collectibles it’d be a non-issue but part of their appeal and marketing is their limited nature. Otherwise why even have an ES?

That said nothing is keeping Tweeterhead from revisiting the character with an entirely new sculpt. That’s the right way to do it IMHO.

[Gothamite]

Well, the regulars are unnumbered...

:goodpost:

[cyberpunk12]

Well, the regulars are unnumbered...Interesting... I tried to see how many regular Harley's are out there but no one is listing the edition size.

I think open-ended releases take the pressure off collectors to purchase now... I know there is always competition for my collecting dollars and availability almost always factors into my decisions. I don't think open runs are a good way to go nor do I think re-releasing a statue to be a good idea (for the very reason Hellboy pointed out).

I would think a revisit should always be a new sculpt... an action version following a museum pose, for example... but I'm getting ahead of myself speculating.

I'm just ready to see what Chad unveils at SDCC... that may be just the thing that blows the doors open and gets things rolling.

Personally, I like these limited numbers... When the lineup starts to build and these in-demand characters start climbing on eBay, collectors will be scrambling to get the regular releases. Harley EX was what, 300? I've heard 150 for Supergirl EX. Can you imagine what Superman and Wonder Woman EX's go for later if they're limited to 250?!? Do we think there will be fewer than 250 orders for a Batman EX?

Batman might get a higher exclusive ES, but as I noted in the thread for Actually Produced Statues, it looks like 250 will be "standard" for most statues.

I don't mind re-paints for re-released statue poses, especially if they wind up being as dramatically different as the proposed black costumes for Donna Troy.

Yes! I wouldn’t mind a repaint ver for Donna either if they can’t afford to make a statue with different sculpt. I really hope they do make this variant with black costume.

I bought into super powers line only for Bat Villains. My hope is by the time it’s done I’ll have first ever decent sized rogues gallery I’ve always wanted. I’m a huge Marvel guy but the super powers Joker got me. It’s best I’ve ever seen. Cat woman is def a buy for me and I’m on the fence for Harley because the rocket pack doesn’t do much for me. I hope they do these ;

Mr Freeze
Penguin
Riddler
Scarecrow
Poison ivy


Anything else is bonus but it may be wishful thinking

I agree, this the best Joker I’ve seen too. I don’t collect villains much except for gotham sirens and deathstroke occasionally, but the tweeterhead Joker is a must get.

Has Chad ever mentioned anything about costume variants/repaints? I know Batman is getting two versions but anyone else?

Per Tweeterhead on Facebook
"Hey Guys! Don't go BATTY, but we have to postpone our live video until Friday at noon. We have Super Power Wonder Woman and all of her accessories to show you and a little something special that we think you're going to LOVE! HINT, HINT!"

Maybe a painted Batman prototype with WW???
