McFarlane DC Super Powers Final Wave 16 Preorder

Wave 16

Silver Age Flash, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Girl, Deathstroke, JSA Superman, and metallic Cyborg make for an unusually varied closing assortment. Wonder Girl brings her red star-patterned costume and gold belt to the Teen Titans roster, while JSA Superman uses the classic blue suit, red trunks, and cape. Deathstroke’s bold orange-and-blue color blocking and Cyborg’s metallic silver finish add two especially distinctive designs to the group.

Cyborg

The card art features a classic illustration of Cyborg in full sprint, drawn in that unmistakable vintage comic style with bold linework and warm orange-and-silver coloring. Cyborg himself is clad in head-to-toe silver armor plating with exposed skin tones at the thighs and portions of his face, and that signature red cybernetic eye sits right above his brow where the organic half of his face meets the mechanical half.

You can see how the sculpt really leans into that classic Super Powers aesthetic, with segmented armor bands wrapping around the forearms, thighs, and shins that have a satisfying retro-tech feel. The circular belt buckle and matching chest port are nice touches, and his half-grin on the human side of his face gives him a confident, Victor Stone personality that works well for the era they’re channeling. Cyborg’s metallic silver armor has a great chunky, retro-inspired sculpt with layered plating on the forearms, thighs, and shins that really sells that classic Super Powers aesthetic. His exposed skin tones on the upper arms and legs contrast nicely against all that silver, and the red cybernetic eye is a small but effective detail on an otherwise clean headsculpt.

Wonder Girl

The packaging artwork is pure vintage charm, with Wonder Girl illustrated in a confident hands-on-hips pose wearing her classic red jumpsuit, black boots, and silver bracelets, all outlined in that bold comic ink style against the bright blue and yellow card. Clad in a red V-neck top dotted with white stars and matching red pants, she sports a gold belt with a prominent “W” buckle, silver wrist cuffs, and black boots that come up just below the knee, and her sculpted black hair has a great flowing quality with volume swept back off her face.

Wonder Girl’s red bodysuit is covered in white star detailing that runs from the chest down through the legs, and the gold “W” belt buckle ties everything together with a nice retro flair. I like how the silver bracelets and dark navy boots break up all that red, and her black hair and pink lipstick give the headsculpt a classic Donna Troy look. I really like how they handled the face sculpt here, with a subtle pink lip color, defined dark eyebrows, and a slightly serious expression that has a real Donna Troy quality to it. Her fists are sculpted in a closed grip, and the white star pattern on the torso and thighs has a nice scattered, asymmetrical placement that feels faithful to the original comic design rather than overly uniform.

JSA Superman

The card itself is a blast of nostalgia, with a bright blue background, starburst graphics, and a beautifully rendered vintage comic illustration of Superman soaring forward with his cape trailing behind him. Superman’s suit leans into that classic matte blue with red trunks, red boots, and a soft fabric cape that drapes naturally, and I like how the yellow belt buckle and S-shield pop against the cooler tones of the suit.

Superman’s headsculpt has a great vintage quality to it, with a strong, square jaw, that signature black spit curl, and a slightly furrowed brow that nails the classic Kenner-era look. The face sculpt, which has a determined, almost gritted-teeth expression with sharp blue eyes, a strong jawline, and that classic black hair with the silver temples. The red cape drapes nicely over his shoulders with a high collar, and the yellow belt buckle adds a clean separation between the blue top and red trunks. The fabric cape has a nice weight to it, gathering naturally around the collar and falling past the knees with a soft, slightly rumpled drape that keeps it from looking stiff or overly starched.

Unmasked Deathstroke

The packaging card art leans into that vintage comic book illustration style, with Deathstroke rendered in his iconic blue and orange suit, complete with chainmail scale texture across the torso and an ammunition bandolier slung over one shoulder. Deathstroke’s unmasked look really sells this one, with his white hair swept back, a neatly trimmed beard, black eye patch over his right eye, and a yellow collar detail sitting just above the blue tunic, while the black scale-textured panels on his legs contrast sharply against the orange boots, gloves, and trunks.

Armed with a silver sword featuring a yellow crossguard, Deathstroke’s weapon has a clean, simplified design that fits the retro Super Powers vibe perfectly. The sculpt on the black scale-textured sections of his arms and legs has a really satisfying uniform pattern, and the orange holster strapped to his right thigh is a cool little functional detail I appreciate. Deathstroke’s headsculpt captures that grizzled veteran look nicely, with grey swept-back hair, a neatly sculpted beard, and the black eyepatch sitting snugly over his right eye. The scale mail texture across his torso and legs is a really cool touch, and the blue diagonal strap crossing his chest adds a layer of visual interest to the orange and black color scheme.

Martian Manhunter

The packaging card art features a bold vintage illustration of Martian Manhunter in his classic look, with yellow-green skin, a flowing blue cape, and that iconic red crossed harness over his chest, all drawn with thick comic ink outlines against the bright blue and yellow starburst design. Martian Manhunter’s green skin has a muted, olive-leaning tone, and his red crossed chest straps meet at a circular buckle at the waist that carries a subtle gear-like sculpted pattern, while the soft fabric blue cape pools naturally over his shoulders with a heavier drape than some of the other figures in this wave.

Martian Manhunter’s red crossed harness straps meet at a small circular buckle at the waist, and the blue cape drapes behind him with a matching blue collar that frames his green skin nicely. I’m really digging the blue boots here, which have a slightly flared, bucket-top shape at the calf that feels right out of a Silver Age comic panel. His red eyes have a striking, almost glowing intensity against the green skin, and the brow ridge is sculpted with a pronounced, angular severity that gives his face a distinctly alien quality.

Silver Age Flash

The card art showcases a classic comic illustration of The Flash in full stride, drawn with bold ink outlines and a vibrant red and yellow color palette that pops against the blue and yellow card design. Clad in his signature deep red suit, Flash features gold boots, a gold lightning bolt belt, and small gold wing accents on his cowl, with the white-and-yellow lightning bolt emblem sitting prominently on his chest.

The Flash’s deep crimson suit is uniform from head to toe, with gold accents at the wrist cuffs and gold boots that give him that clean Silver Age look. I like how the lightning bolt chest emblem is crisp and centered within its white circle, and the gold belt sits just right to break up all that red. Something I appreciate here is the matte finish on the red suit, which has a smooth, almost satin-like quality that contrasts nicely with the metallic gold on the boots, belt, and wrist accents. The cowl fits snugly over his head with a clean transition to the exposed lower face, where a neutral, composed expression and warm skin tone keep things simple and classic.
