    I love this line because I had the originals, but they are really lacking on accessories and female figures. If they correct these issues, I'd be happy to keep collecting them. Excelent video as always!

    Maybe the cost of sculpting on Guy eliminated the lantern...!!
    Maybe the extra plastic eliminated the lantern for Kilowog...
    Maybe someday... a pack of extras to fill those gaps...!! (That's three 'maybes')....LOL.!!

    I love your reviews, but I do wish you were sometimes more severe. Don’t hesitate to give 2s and 3s, people will like and respect you even more for it. I sometimes listen to what you say in a section, and I'm thinking you're gonna give a 2 or 3, but it almost always ends up 4 or 5. Like, in playability for Guy, without any lantern, despite a gripping hand, it should have been a 3. As another example, if the back cover and trading card of a McFarlane figure aren't the same costume as the figure, and it happens too often, it should be an automatic 1 point deduction if not more depending on how egregious the diffence is.
    I do hope you continue reviewing Super Powers figures because you're the best reviewer for them, but I do get why you wouldn't. You make very valid points. Speaking of which, I was disappointed by how big Booster Gold is compared to Blue Beetle and even the old Martian Manhunter. Seems like they're starting to have scaling issues like DC Multiverse.

      Between stocking Super Powers, the Collector's Edition, and especially the Platinum Collectors Edition, McFarlane has an unfortunate track record of fumbling the ball with Diana.

    Enjoyable intro, Jason.
    I don’t collect the line, so I have no horsies in the race, but I don’t look at the figures and see a reason to buy.
    The Detective Batman was the only one I wanted to get since I didn’t have Bats in the original line (but wanted him so), but I still didn’t pick him up.
    I get what you mean about a lack of value. Guy should have had a lantern. The cost of tooling was already there, so it was simply the cost of plastic and inclusion.
    McFarlane doesn’t have the strongest argument of costs with this, either.

    • @5POAFigureReviews
      @5POAFigureReviews  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The only argument I can make in his defense is that the bodies for John and Hal had more reuse potential, so even if it cost more upfront with the lantern they would get their money back with repaints. Guy is mostly one and done.

      @5POAFigureReviews  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, they are listed on the package as being for Ages 12 and up, in contrast to most action figures like Marvel Legends or the Spin Master DC figures which are labeled as for Ages 4+. Though it is sold on the figure aisle at Walmart alongside Spin Master, this series is for nostalgic adults who collected the original Kenner line. Obviously kids can play with them, but they are not the target demo
