Got it yesterday.

Just ... I dunno... whelmed...

Bryan L was right.
Aquagirl is like a botox project gone way overboard. Puckering lips and the etched on eyebrows. It's like watching those the housewives of New Jersey / LA / Atlanta or wherever.

Static's head seems a bit over-scaled.

Micron just looks like a generic base body with a new head sculpt.. with the beady eyes.

I'm happy to get these but could have done much better or expected much higher hopes since this is their year and all.

ENJOY!!!!

Ok now this may sound crude but to me Aquagirls lips look like a womans ......... lady parts

I think these figures are great too. Mattel has always had issues with JLU female face sculpts. Maybe Aqua is not as perfect as Saturn Girl, but she's waaaay better than Supergirl and Galatea. Static is just fine. You guys are just nitpicking there. Same with Micron. He looks exactly like his design on the show.

It's kind of funny how everybody was raving about these figures, putting in hours contacting overseas sellers and paying exorbitant prices for them...just to say "meh" now that they are $10 per figure. They look exactly like they did when they were $1,000 a piece. Actually, Mongul looks better with the new paint app. I guess the hype just built them up in people's heads to something more than JLU figures.

I'm loving them all. Well done Mattel, thanks again for putting these out.

Batfink just hit the nail on the head.

Winner in one!
Great post and I feel much the same as you.

I'm not big on Aquagirl either, but my gripe has more to do with the women of the line in general. I like the other two figures a lot, though. I'm very happy with Static.

Agreed. These are great figures. My only complaint is Aquagirl's heels and I knew about that going in.

By the way, Aquagirl on Batman Beyond had a very exotic look about her that the figure pretty much captures. It isn't perfect but I don't think it would be an easy look to put into plastic in the first place.

Then again I feel the same way about Shayera's beautiful character design and her figure was fantastic. Still, my complaints about Aquagirl are minimal.

Yeah it's great we got the figures. Absolutely.

But Aquagirl still looks horrible. She has been since they first showed her. Just because it didn't look like we might be getting these at one time doesn't change it. I'll be glad to get the set but personally I just wish she looked better. But whatever you guys are entitled to your opinions. At least someone's 100% happy with them.

Totally forgot how bad Aquagirl looks. I got her early last yr and really hadnt looked at her since. She is bad, but not outside the norm for Mattys females save for Gypsy or, as others mentioned, Shayera. But Static Ive got to disagree with ya Prince (and agree with some others), I think hes one of the better offerings in quite some time. Sure Im biased because I wanted him to come out for Dwayne McDuffie but even without that I think hes a cool sculpt.

Statics head is not a major gripe... just what I noticed scale-wise (itty-bitty big). No biggie really.
Look they all can't be perfect, I understand that. It's just that it is the end of the line and you'd think they (Mattel) would go out feeling good about putting out a product that's near great.

Gypsy I thought was done really well. Great sculpt.

Aquagirl however, well... you know where I stand. If Gypsy had flat feet .. why couldn't Aquagirl.

Yes... Galatea was just done dang awful...period.
I could live with the Volcana not having any eyebrows but to leave us with an Aquagirl quite fitting to do customs of Housewives of Botox Hills.

Aquagirl does look off but I was begging for these figures. Shes really not that bad just her eyes but I am glad we got more BB characters out of the line. I LOVE Micron his paint looks great!

I second this. Kai-Ro and Barda (even with her tiny generic body scale) are tops on my list is this line had continued.
