Hey All, i found these figs on a shoppin trip to Altoona, PA. Target store last week, i don't know if they are new releases or not, but i snapped some pics.    The guy with the goat legs is Grover from the Percy Jackson and The Olympians movie figures, they are supposed to be 4 inches tall. |

Yeah, those started popping up here recently - most are new, but they've re-packed some older figs in the same packaging. Too bad that they're so tiny - I could really go for a MU-scaled Firestorm. Guess I gotta make one now

I didn't know Firestorm was coming out. I'll have to track him down. |

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm definitely interested in all 4 of those. Have to check Target by my work. |

Just found these in MN myself. The quality on the line is improving, it's just a shame that they're still using those terrible molds from the first few waves. |

Yep those are the new ones. Firestorm is the last one in the old packaging. I was hoping he would have the new hips too. I haven't found them out here yet. I prefer that Joker's head over the first version. |

PYD might be referring to the new body type (version 3) as opposed to the version 1 body types which are very sturdy as they have very limited articulation. AS long as you peel the elbow and knees away from the hinge joints in both locations before handling them (i.e. bending them) with force they are fine. The joints on the Public Enemies 3 pack figures (specifically Superman more than others) allegedly are sticky ala DCUC 6'' figures and their fused hips or Marvel legends and their fused upper leg swivel on occasion. I personally own them and havent had any problem but others reported having issues with them. Also allegedly the new Martian Manhunter , despite having the same body type, doesnt have these problems . The quality seems to be increased (starting with Martian Manhunter?). |

I'm guessing Joker and Two-Face won't have problems, then? |

Yay, I found them this morning at Target. I only grabbed Firestorm (woot!) and the new Killing Joke Joker. I've got the movie version Two-Face, so I didn't need the DCIH one, and I don't like the looks of that Robin. I would have grabbed the Green Lantern too, but I have the Best Buy one, which is fine for me. Now I'm off to make some little energy blasts for Firestorm

Joker and Two-Face should be just fine Jay. And yeah, the new body/articulation type is more fragile, though I will say that this wave feels a bit sturdier than the Public Enemies figures with the same body. |

The Deathstroke wave showed up here in TN. I grabbed Deathstroke and Mr. Terrific over the weekend. No pics yet, but they're moving in the right direction with these. Guy Gardner has the new body, but he's got a translucent green head and boots, so he was a pass. They had some older figures still on the pegs that I've never seen before, like Blue Beetle. Man, if anyone needed the new articulation treatment, it was him. He looks like Arthur from The Tick. Just a heads-up to be on the lookout for these. Maybe I'll be able to get some pics up later. |
