Pleasantly surprised. Modern comics characters aren't my first choice, but anything better than crappy movie figures. And Batwoman is a longtime omission. Just hope the new female figures don't look too out of place. Still a little to Batman-centric, but definitely a step in the right direct (besides that awful Two-Face).

I guess it's from the new All-Star Batman comic book but he looks like a Muppet to me.

Definitely got my money for Batwoman and the rest of the standard comic style line up. I actually really like the Superman head they did for Rebirth Superman. The BAF Clayface looks insanely cool. I just wish they didn't choose to do another redo but I guess they're running out of ideas for giant sized characters who would be good hooks at retail.

I never got that Clayface and I've heard a lot about the rubber falling apart like the Spider-Man Classics Morbius' jaw from years ago, so I'm happy to add him. I will probably try to build two since a little dentistry and some paint would make for a Tarpit figure.

Great idea! I actually have two of the Clayfaces and neither have any issues with the rubber cracking but it might have to do with the climate and humidity as well. Even my Swamp Things (3 of them) have all held up with no cracking. Some with occasional posing and some just left on the shelf so I've been fortunate in that respect.

Someone found the King Shark wave at a comic shop in Wisconsin. I'm glad I don't care about this version of King Shark because this wave is rather unimpressive. The Jay Garrick figure looks awful, and I know it's accurate to the book, but that DKR Joker is dreadful looking.

When I owned my comic shop I always made sure to see what customers of mine wanted a full set of each wave and asked for 50% down as to not pinch the wallet too much and I ordered heavy on the Marvel Legends and DCUC as well as the non articulated Warcraft figures. I ordered at least 12-15 cases of both Marvel and DCUC and thats was just for my customers.
