Love all of Wave 7 figures, but if i had to pick one that is my fav. Is probably the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, i think he came out awesome! Love the look of his classic costume in general with the contrasting blue colors he has.
Been waiting for this one! Great review. I am still patiently waiting for my preorder even though I’ve seen some in store. I may cave and start picking them up when I see them. You are so right about the nostalgic feeling finding them in person brings! I look forward to the Gold Label Panic In The Sky review! Thanks for the shout out! Glad to help!
When this Super Powers line came out in 2022, I was totally against it because they were using classic packaging with new figure designs and this year I actually talked myself into picking it up. My reasoning was because now I see it as an extension of the Kenner's Super Powers Collection. My first figure was the black and blue Nightwing and I was hooked an now I'm playing catch up, lol. Keep up the great videos I'm loving the content.
Haha! Yeah, we picked up the first wave out of curiosity and to review on the channel thinking it would be a one and done, bad review with a similar feeling that you had. Instantly hooked, and here we are…still reviewing, collecting, and loving them (for the most part)! Thanks for watching!
The so-called SUPERFRIENDS version of Sinestro is really the Silver Age comics version. On the SUPERFRIENDS, the black in his costume was a navy blue, not black, so we have yet to get a SUPERFRIENDS version. Sorry to nitpick... great video as usual. You guys are great!
No, that’s fair, and you’re right! Even though McFarlane labeled it as a Super Friends Sinestro, it doesn’t 100% match what was on the show. Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
@@JustBSingProductions given his penchant for repaints, this is one time I'd be in favor of a color corrected version of Sinestro for SUPERFRIENDS. Do you think he'll eventually get around to it or no?
I like the new Sinestro paint... I had thought the original suit was more "Super Powers", but then thinking about the metallic Brainiac from the Kenner figures... i've changed my mind. For the other figures... I love Brainiac and Blue Beetle... Kilowog too is superb, but it irritates me that they used a different green for Hal and Kilowog to John Stewart, which is a better shade of green to me!
Yeah, a strange decision to switch up shades of green. I’m guessing there will be a repaint at some point of John Stewart since the Guy Gardner had the same shade as the newer Lanterns.
Just going through the series so far - and have to say that for me the Brainiac figure in this series is the most Super Powers figure of the series to date... It's the one figure, for me, that you could add to the original series and you would think it belonged!
100% best wave so far. I skipped the Mangá Batman, but maybe now I get it, looks cool. And for those who did not saw the figures in jands, the golden in Superman and Sinestro do not show well in camera, those are VERY beautiful. I just disliked how Bariniac's head is a big bigger than it should, but that is it, other than that, So Good for all, even the repaints.
Yeah, I couldn’t get that gold to show up true to life in any of my cameras! Lol. You’re 100% right. I don’t mind a Brainiac with a bigger head. Makes sense. You know…cuz he’s Brainiac. 😂
@@JustBSingProductions yeah, he had a big head sometimes, bit maybe was the Legion version. He just look like the Leader, an enemy of Hulk stories, that way. Also green, of course, LOL.
I don’t really see that much of a difference between the wave 1 and wave 5 heads for Superman. I think it might look different because waves 5 onwards have more crisp clean paint on the face but I’m not quite sure.
It looks like a very small difference to me. Wave 5 and up has ever so slightly more detail, especially around the mouth and ears. It very well could just be better paint application, but it does feel like there were some slight tweaks to give him more lines and detail in the face. Either way, I’m ready for an all new sculpt! 😂
@@JustBSingProductions Yeah, theres two. When I asked one of the locations if they carry Super Powers figures, the employee had no idea what I was talking about. The second store thats a lil further away carries them sporadically.
@@maximusprime3459 Yeah, it seems most are pretty sporadic. Both GameStops I went to didn't have any a few days before, and then I checked again, and BOOM. Interesting that the one didn't know what you were talking about. I wonder if they are coded something different and the person working there just isn't familiar with the branding.
@@JustBSingProductions Well, the way the second store explained it was they were sent some random Super Powers items and they got sold, so they eventually just sent more to fill shelf space as they sold. It was really weird.
@@maximusprime3459 That is weird. I'd keep checking those stores just in case they don't know what THEY'RE talking about lol. Or see if you can catch them online at GameStop. Have had others tell us they ship fast.
Near Austin, Texas. But we’ve been hearing from people all across the country finding them there. It does seem to be one of the more difficult ones to find in store, but they are definitely out there!
Yeah, found both at the same GameStop, along with the Manga Batman. Another GameStop had Brainiac, Beetle, and Kilowog. The Walmarts we went to had none of the figures (just vehicles), but others are finding everything there. Just gotta hit up multiple stores.
Nice! I can’t say I blame you. We still have one bundle and an extra Gold Label Brainiac from McFarlane Toys, so hopefully those will all ship soon! Really only kept them because of that Gold Label figure/vehicle.
What do you think of the latest Super Powers wave, and where are you finding yours?
Love all of Wave 7 figures, but if i had to pick one that is my fav. Is probably the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, i think he came out awesome! Love the look of his classic costume in general with the contrasting blue colors he has.
Yeah, he’s great! And with The Bug too? Perfect.
@@JustBSingProductions
Yes, still need to pick up The Bug ship for him as well. Haven't done that yet.
Seems those aren’t too difficult to come by, so hopefully you won’t have any issues finding one!
Great video! Can’t wait for Booster Gold to join Blue Beetle in the Bug!
Same!
Chris and Steven, my favorite 2 people, have been waiting for your video. I got my at Wal-Mart 👍
Nice! Only found the vehicles at our Walmarts.
Great video guy's as always. Here's hoping the preorders ship soon.
Thanks, Kirk! Still no updates from McFarlane, but I'm half expecting the box to just pop up unannounced any day now lol.
Been waiting for this one! Great review. I am still patiently waiting for my preorder even though I’ve seen some in store. I may cave and start picking them up when I see them.

Do it! At least the ones you like the most. It’s a nerdy little rush! 😂
@@JustBSingProductions don’t twist my arm! 😆
HEY!!!! Thanks for the shout out 👍 Glad I could help.
Thanks again!
Really like this wave a lot. Those vehicles are incredible!
They are! The vehicles in this line have all been very good.

@@JustBSingProductions and you're doing a great job and I just stumbled upon your channel last month or so
Looking good you guys!
Thanks!
Anytime
Man agreed those look awesome! As you said, pleasantly surprised with them. I think I’ll check out my GameStops this week and see what I can find.
Good luck! Which ones are you feeling the most?
Manga Batman, Brainiac, and Beetle and the Bug! Wouldn’t mind finding the skull ship either.
You’ll love them! We really pulled you over to the dark side (Darkseid?) quickly! 😂
Lmao no kidding!
One of the best waves
Definitely! What are your favorites so far?
Been collecting for a long time. I've come to find out pre-order just means guaranteed order. Not early delivery. Lol
Guess Gamestop and Walmart got that pre-preorder! Lol
The so-called SUPERFRIENDS version of Sinestro is really the Silver Age comics version. On the SUPERFRIENDS, the black in his costume was a navy blue, not black, so we have yet to get a SUPERFRIENDS version. Sorry to nitpick... great video as usual. You guys are great!

Since the black/blue one was already labeled as a Super Friends version, it may be less likely. BUT, it absolutely wouldn’t surprise me lol
Love this wave! Hope there are some more female characters in future waves though. I can’t believe the only one so far has been Wonder Woman!
Funny, we were just talking about that after we recorded this one. We may have a video in the future on that very subject!

@@JustBSingProductions Good point - actually, i'd like to get a silver age John... same suit as Hal - like Toyotter has done on Instagram
I felt like the wave 7 Brainiac looked too friendly, doesn't have villian aura. My opinion the gold label Brainiac is the way to go.
We preferred the Gold Label as well. The ship and figure. We have a separate review on that one. 👍🏻
Just going through the series so far - and have to say that for me the Brainiac figure in this series is the most Super Powers figure of the series to date... It's the one figure, for me, that you could add to the original series and you would think it belonged!
I have to agree. Blue Beetle too, for me, is another that fits well into the old line.
100% best wave so far. I skipped the Mangá Batman, but maybe now I get it, looks cool.
And for those who did not saw the figures in jands, the golden in Superman and Sinestro do not show well in camera, those are VERY beautiful.

You said, “package”
So many times
Oh hey, how do you feel about a modern Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle for the line down the road?
All for it!
Which batman would you recommend, manga batman or thomas Wayne batman?
Thomas Wayne, hands down.
@JustBSingProductions Alrighty , thanks .This decision has been bugging me for a while now.
@@Hail2daking Glad to help!
So far I got Brianiac and the Bug. I did see Bat-Manga at Walmart but that was it.
Any GameStops near you?
@@JustBSingProductions Yeah, theres two. When I asked one of the locations if they carry Super Powers figures, the employee had no idea what I was talking about.

McFarlane needs your support in pre-orders to fund store shipments so they can make the money to fulfill the preorders. lol
Probably
Where did you buy your Gold Superman at Gamestop?
Near Austin, Texas. But we’ve been hearing from people all across the country finding them there. It does seem to be one of the more difficult ones to find in store, but they are definitely out there!
And Gold Sinestro because at the mcfarlane store they don't come up in the buying separately area only the bundle
Yeah, found both at the same GameStop, along with the Manga Batman. Another GameStop had Brainiac, Beetle, and Kilowog. The Walmarts we went to had none of the figures (just vehicles), but others are finding everything there. Just gotta hit up multiple stores.
Love your videos I am a subscriber so that I don't miss a video come one everyone these guys are awesome Subscribe 👍
Thanks so much! Definitely appreciate the support. Feel free to share our vids with your friends! Hell, share them with people you hate too! 😂
Brainiac has his 'circuits' on his head...!! LOL.!!
Not a 'satchel' on Blue Beetle.!! It's a holster for his gun...!!
No, no. Science be damned. We're sticking with tiara now. 😂
Got my figures last night!! I went ahead and canceled all of my pre-order stuff and just paid a little extra on eBay. Love this wave!
Nice! I can’t say I blame you. We still have one bundle and an extra Gold Label Brainiac from McFarlane Toys, so hopefully those will all ship soon! Really only kept them because of that Gold Label figure/vehicle.
Still waiting on Secret Wars
I’d love to see those return. Only had a few as a kid, but they were some of my favorite figures.
