I think Darkseid is a little bigger, but they didn't have the rest. He looked like he was maybe five inches. Didn't seem like there were action features but I saw Todd is making vehicles, too. If he made a new Hall of Justice though I'd really consider buying it. They were $10 here, so that's what maybe $35 Canadian? I kid. Probably only $25 after GST, lol.

McFalane looks like a veteran of the toy industry now, I haven't seen him in a long time, glad he's still doing it :batsmile: WOW, these look pretty cool. They seem like like they're more toys & action figures than his usual stuff for many years ago. Seems somewhat authentic to Kenner and I never knew about these because I really don't keep up with today's market much anymore.

As ridicules as prices go for today's market's I think its ok. Its reasonable if you think of like how it was during the Matty Collector days.

Thanks for sharing this PB ;)

I like it, I like it. Not a fan of that New 52 and later era Darkseid design but the other ones look slick.

Right? #NotMyDarkseid My Darkseid is way more manly, with a cape and fancy pink brooch! I always wondered why Kenner gave him a cape, did they think he'd be confused with Rokkon if he didn't have a cape? I always lost the capes anyway. Or the metal would rip out of the collar and they'd be useless anyway.

It's possible they thought that he looked like Rokkon but really the cape was a cool idea IMO, I love it when a company gives us a bonus feature whether we wanted it or not, sometimes alternative looks that hasn't been seen before can be really cool :batsmile:

Yeah, also I believe they were removable anyway?

They did. But the purplish hue of Darkseid's cape and the pinkish collar piece always struck me as unbefitting of an evil god.

Doctor Klaw, I mean, Darkseid almost did.
