Super Man (Classic)
Given that Superman has had many repaints in the line already, we are getting a Superman from his appearance from the classic comic! I just love the new card back art on this version of Superman!
Comparisons of Wave 9 and Wave 1 Superman. Below we have photos of this Wave 9 Superman next two the Wave 1 Superman. You can see it’s a new body and head sculpt. Also take a look at the stance of the new Superman classic versus Wave 1 Superman, it’s so much better and much more like the vintage Kenner Superman.
Here we can see a side by side comparison of the the new McFarlane Wave 9 Superman Classic and the vintage Kenner Superman. Take a look at the stance of both figures. McFarlane finally got it right!
Close up comparisons of these two versions of Superman. Wave 9 is a huge improvement!
Comparison of Superman capes. You can see the logo on the Wave 9 Superman is much larger.

Batman (Black and Gray)
This version of the black and gray Batman will be a repaint of the Batman Classic Detective and the 89 Batman figures shown below. You can see this is a very classic looking version of the Batman The Dark Knight Returns, complete with the large black bat on his chest, grey and black outfit and black cape!
Out of package photos of this new Grey and Black Batman.

Riddler
The Prince of puzzlers Riddler is now confirmed to be coming in this wave! Dressed in his signature green jump suit, filled with question marks, complete with his purple mask and purple belt! The card back for Riddler looks so classic!

Here is the Riddler from the Super Amigos line as he could look like this.
Bizarro (Tales of the Bizarro World)
Since his hilarious debut in the 1950s, Bizarro has been a character of equal parts humor and confusion. The imperfect duplicate of Superman, the chalk faced hero lives on the cube-shaped world of Bizarro where everything is the opposite of life on Earth. Beauty is hated, ugliness is revered, and it is a crime to make anything perfect. Written by the creator of Superman, Jerry Siegel, SUPERMAN: TALES OF BIZARRO WORLD includes 15 nonsensical tales of Bizarro’s twisted heroics and insane interactions with Bizarro-Lois Lane, Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen, Bizarro-Supergirl, Bizarro-Lex Luthor, and Bizarro-Krypto the Superdog.
You can see that the “S” on his chest is indeed backwards!
Some close ups
Here you can see that the back of Bizarro’s cape has the “S” and that is backwards too! A comparison shot of both Superman and Bizarro’s capes are below.

The Tales of the Bizarro World figure is similar to his likeness in the comic.
Aquaman (Gold Chase)
Aquaman was one of the Toy Sorceress’ favorite Super Powers figures as a kid. She never got many toys as a child, but remembers mom taking her to Toys R Us as a child to pick out her Hanukkah gift and she immediately went over to the aisle where the Super Powers figures were hanging. She picked out Aquaman and he was the first action figure she remembers getting as a kid! She used to carry Aquaman with her everywhere and she remembers taking him to school one day, and he had been holding his trident in his hands all day, but she suddenly noticed that the trident was missing! The horror, she had lost his accessory and panic suddenly came over her. When she looked across the room, she saw a school mate using her Aquaman’s trident as a freakin tooth pick!! She immediately ran across the room and ripped it out of that kids hands and washed it! She still has her childhood Aquaman and he is the pride of her Super Powers Collection. This version of gold Aquaman has a golden tint to the figure based on the first version.
Here is an example of the gold Super Man chase variant. This one was released for the 30th Anniversary of the original Kenner line. It was a gold outfitted repaint version of the DC Classics first release of Superman. This is an easy repaint of the 2 previous versions of Superman already released for the McFarlane Super Powers line.
Wonder Woman (Gold Chase)
The current release of Wonder Woman is a more modern take on the figure akin to the modern movie release. Like Super Man, we get a gold version of Wonder Woman.
Justice Society 3 Pack
Special thanks to Just BS’ing, toyhuntershollow, Cullen Guzik and Baroness of Toys for posting and sharing these images of the upcoming Super Powers Starman, Green Lantern, and Hourman (Justice Society of America) 3-Pack. The Justice Society of America (JSA) is a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. It was conceived by editor Sheldon Mayer and writer Gardner Fox during the Golden Age of Comic Books. It first appeared in All Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940–1941), making it the first team of superheroes in comic books. Its original members were Doctor Fate, Hourman, the Spectre, Sandman, Atom, the Flash, Green Lantern and Hawkman. So let’s take a look at the McFarlane Super Powers Starman, Green Lantern, and Hourman 3 pack! Special thanks to Cullen Guzik for sending us the Amazon Link.
What a colorful group of Super Heroes!

Here is what the 3 pack looks like in package.
A better look at this very colorful 3 pack of figures!
Here we get to see the back of the package and their bio cards.
Starman
Starman (Theodore Henry “Ted” Knight) is a fictional superhero appearing in media published by DC Comics, primarily as a member of the Justice Society of America. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Jack Burnley, he first appeared in Adventure Comics #61 (April 1941). His action figure is a great representation of his comic book appearance! Love that he has his star on the back of his cape!
Here we can see what he looks like in the comics.
Hourman
Hourman or Hour-Man is the name of three different fictional superheroes appearing in comics published by DC Comics. The original Hourman was created by writer Ken Fitch and artist Bernard Baily in Adventure Comics #48 (March 1940), during the Golden Age of Comic Books. The first Hourman is chemist Rex Tyler, who creates a new synthesis, “Miraclo”, which grants him super-strength and endurance, but only for one hour. His action figure is a great representation of his comic book appearance! His cape has an hourglass necklace and a gorgeous stripped accent as well!
Here you can see what he looked like in the comics.
Green Lantern
Alan was a founding member of the Justice Society and was instrumental in many wartime battles. After the war, as a broadcast executive in the late forties, Alan Scott had a flirtatious relationship with the costumed villainess the Harlequin (who unbeknownst to Alan, was secretly his secretary, Molly Mayne). Molly even admitted that her career as a “criminal” was just a ruse to get close to Green Lantern. The Harlequin eventually turned over a new leaf, becoming an undercover agent for the FBI. She left Alan’s life without confessing her true identity or her real feelings. His action figure is a great representation of his comic book appearance! I love his Green Lantern icon on his chest and his cool dual colored cape!
Where to Buy
Here you can order the whole case pack including the 2 mystery chase figures of Wonder Woman Gold & Aquaman Gold!
Here you can see the description of the case pack that lists the two chase figures in it!
