JLU - New finds?

Did I miss something? I don't recall either of these figures being announced. They're not customs at least I don't think they are. This ebay seller has been selling quite a few of the waves that haven't quite made it to the USA.

He also has the new Volcana, Omac, Red Tornado, Deadshot, General Eiling, Waller, and Blackhawk. STRANGE...

Yeah, I'd seen most of those. And I knew they were coming out, so it didn't suprise me. But these two caught me off guard. The Hawkman even has a new chest symbol.

How does he have some of these so early? I thought we weren't supposed to see Omac and Superman Red/Blue until way later in the year? We're due for Booster, John Stewart, Zatanna, SuperWoman and Parasite, then Ultraman Deadshot, etc next.... How does he have these so early? LOL

and what's up with that Martian Manhunter? Was he ever even announced? I don't think so!

He's had all of those at one point or another over the last week. Well, I don't remember Zatanna now that you mention it but I could have missed her. But all of the rest have been up. Heck, he has Ultraman now and Superwoman on his web site. Where are mine???

Isn't that J'onn's costume since 52?

It's a damn shame they didn't use the 'Martian' J'onn head for accuracy though.

But loooooook, this Martian Manhunter has a better colored head! Maybe we can get a 5 poa of him in more accurate/brighter colors after all...

Where in the world did those come from!? When were they announced?

That J'onn figure is great. I hope that's actually going to be available at retail soon. I think I'd swap him into my display over the original.

I use the Super Powers one, what's that tell ya? :p

He is cool though! I'm just confused about the order things may be released in, unless these are advances from a show that the guy got or something...

What this guy has listed doesn't reflect the order of what will be released at retail here at all. As soon as something is manufactured, it's inevitable that samples leak.

True, so these will probably go for big bucks for those people that just can't wait.

Is the quality any less? Like how we sometimes see that the paint is shiny at shows, or not painted as carefully, etc?

The one that strikes me as odd, is the Hawkman. We just had a single carded Hawkman in 2008. A new accessory indicates a single release as 3packs do not come with accessories. Why would Mattel think we want a new single Hawkman so soon?

Well, he's got a cool shield. LOL.

But I was thinking, maybe since we saw those Deadman and Mantis 3 packs, that this is partially overseas releases?

Or advances, or samples like Caped Crusader said, or from a show display?

Has anyone tried messaging this guy? I wonder how he gets all this stuff so early?
