Don’t like how the 4H went with a different buck for Black Vulcan than what they were going to go with originally & Black Vulcan’s paint job (different style of gloves & no exposed neckline) brings the quality down a notch. Cutting corners I guess.

I’m glad that they made the cut in the DCUC line as well.

I have waited for more than 20 years for these figures and Mattel finally gave them to us. Of course there are problems with them, like the open hands of Black Vulcan and El Dorado and the ears details on Black Vulcan. But Wave 18 is still my favorite in the line.
PS: Mattel, I still need a Brainiac robot, Giganta and Apache Chief in 6″…

I figured that anyone who hung out at the Hall of Justice with Superman had to be cool. I even viewed the “Big Five” of Supes, WW, Batman & Robin, and Aquaman as being far more important than the comic Trinity. That’s why Aquaman has always ranked as an A-Lister for me. The Super Friends cartoon defined my love for DC and its characters in a huge way and I’m thankful that these guys have finally gotten their much deserved due in plastic goodness.
