We'll probably end up seeing these in the States in a year.  Just enough time for me to find more space in my home office!

Also means I will have some figures I don't want. . .

The collection is supposed to be finally launched nationally in the UK in the next week or so. Picked up a Batman and Superman during the trial run and was pretty impressed so I subscribed.

Wonder Woman is not part of the first wave, correct? 

Wonder Woman is supposed to be issue 7 of the collection.

You guys may have seen this already, but here's a TV ad for the figurines.

You can see WW in the set. Man, this is a tough decision. I really like the look of these, but I don't want to end up buying all of them. (Plus I don't have a lot of room to display them). Maybe if I just stuck to getting the Heroes.....then, what's a group of heroes to do without villains to fight.....arrrgh!

Newsagents... so this is how they call the " bureaux de presse " in England...

And I wish so much those would come in HK fast....

For you French guys, it started also?

 I may consider to ask my mom to take some for me... but I may need to know the release dates of the figures...

The first figurine, Batman, is on sale at french newsagents since February 27th, for less than 3 euros. Looking forward the rest of the collection. I might even start with the Marvel figurines (I resisted as long as I could!)

Caution : I found quite a few Batman figures with bent ears. Look well before buying.

"Does anyone abroad  want me to buy and send an extra one?   "

ME ME ME!!!!

Okay, I got Batman last week. Very nice figurine, very beautiful sculpt, the paint is good but I will give it only a 7/10 (the yellow paint of the belt is my only concern, since my Batman got a bit of yellow on the belly - hem sorry the lower abdominal muscles).

I don't know what Bruce Wayne took for breakfast the day he poses for this figurine, but he is HUGE OVER MUSCULAR (imo) : he is far more muscular than Captain America (it almost makes me wonder if this Cap figurine was made before or after Steve Roger took the super soldier serum !!!). In fact, this Batman is more muscular than most of the Marvel figurines (a change of artist who makes the sculpt ?)

Batman is bigger and taller than Cap, for example, but he is the same size than Hawkeye (by the way, since when is Clint Barton taller and more muscular than Captain America ?).

The good surprise (imo) came from the magazine : no more humour, well written, the only thing I regret is that you don't have any poster inside ! There is a special chapter on the Frank Miller's Dark Knight and the Miller Mazzuchelli run on Batman Year one.

I will continue the collection, of course, but I will not get all of them.

If the artist keeps on insisting so much on anatomical details, I can't wait to see what he will do on Powergirl ...

I will send some pics .

Here we go

After the excitement of the new magazine format, I regret some lacks of informations about the character. There is a chapter on the Batman's equipment (Batmobile, motorcycle, batarangs...) but none is said about the Batcave and the utility belt !!!

There is also no "technical" informations about Batman's physical performances and intelligence (the kind of power grid there is in the Marvel magazine).

After I posted some pics, due to the zoom effects, I noticed some flaws in the paint of my figurine that I hadn't noticed before. The flesh paint is not so well applied on the face, but you really have to put your nose on it to notice. But I had already encountered this kind of "disagreement" with almost all my Marvel characters wearing this kind of mask (Cyclops, Wolverine, Captain America, ...).

I know the first figurines are produced in great number, so it's understandable the quality is not 10/10 at the beginning. The latest Marvel figurines I've got are really amazing in detail and paint job (Hawkeye is a must !!!).

Do anyone here know the quantity of figurines which are produced per character ?
