DC Comics Super Powers Collection General Discussion

[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.

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.).

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.

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.

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

It will probably instantly be my favorite statue ever produced.

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

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

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

With all these heroes, we need some bad guys

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

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.

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.
