Yeah, the classic "A" on Aquaman would be great. but anyway -

I was thinking about the Penguin. I really like him, (although the face may look a bit too angst ridden for some people) and I think what might be throwing some people off is his vest/cumberbund thing, i think (in some comic sources) we're used to seeing it start a lot lower down on his body. Anyway, I was playing with some ideas as far as paint and tried some different schemes, I'm kinda partial to the classic look. In one of the images, I "sanded down" the vest at the top there to see what it would look like, but that'd be a sculpting issue.

Anyway, see if it gives you any ideas -











Thanks for listening!

okay, well then it would not be the classic aquaman, classic aquaman is great the way he is, he is wearing the classic costume minus the big A on his belt and this costume would have worked a whole lot better for the modern aquaman, it may have been the same aquaman but a different costume for him and I don't give a rats ass about that new punk that they wanted to be aquaman, I hate DC for what they did to Aquaman

yeah, pics 1,2 could go for a better classic penguin, pic 3 for a more modern penguin

actually, it is blue trunks with darker shading and if Mattel wants a classic batman then he must have the darker shading on the blue trunks as well as the darker shading on the blue cowl

I like the first Penguin pic. Reminds me of the Super Powers figure.

May not be the right place to ask.

Will we be getting a more accurate coloured Superman with S-shield on cape?

okay here is how the modern Red Tornado's paints should look with green eyes





Classic Batman paints, Batman was based off Aparo designs accept the headsculpt.






Classic Firestorm should have puffy sleeves.




I do know what I am talking about I paid for these to be done by a well known customizer and I provided the pics.

Even though Batman's trunks were rendered to look black with blue highlights, I always interpreted that as heavy shading. They used to do the same thing with Superman, but despite that, his trunks are still red.

Here's an example with Superman:



Here they do the same thing with Batman and Superman:



Despite the shading, Superman's trunks are red, not black. I've always assumed the same thing with Batman.

If Batman's trunks were supposed to be black, then Adam West's and Super Friends Batman's would have been black as well, right?

One of my favorite things about this line is that the style of sculpting will be consistent throughout, as opposed to DCD where each set reflects a particular artist's style.

Regardless of how they used to shade him back in the day, I think Batman's "undies" should stay blue.

If you say that, then shouldn't his head be all blue as well? The black with blue highlights is just a way for making the Batman look like he has the black shading any ways. Which looks cool and makes him look more different than the current Batman in my opinion.

Yeah I have to say Batman's trunks are fine the way they are. I presonally like that figure very much even tho I have to many batmen.

I understand your point, but I always interpreted the black on his mask as actually being there and not just shading, like ole Adam West. But that's just my take, I didn't draw him.

They eventually did away with Batman's stylish mask eyebrows in the comics so whether or not you leave those on the figure would just be a matter of which era of Bats you're doing.

It's been handled both ways concurrently depending on the production needs of the licensor. For example - the Mego World's Greatest Heroes Batman had black trunks while the Mego Pocket Heroes Batman had blue trunks.

Traditionally the blue trunks has been for toys (Pocket heroes, Super Powers) due to production restrictions. Since this no longer is the case due to advances in toy production and budgets, it becomes an athestics issue.

Personally, I like the Black better.

This really isn't a comment on wave 1 or 2 but would it be possible to get a Superman with a lighter blue and red instead of maroon. Put an S on the back of the cape and voila. Give us a new head sculpt with a long haired variant pack them 50/50 and you got sure fired seller.

You've got my vote on that!

Mine as well
