You know what? I don't think that Neagative Man has a variant. The more I look at it, the more it seems to be a face plate that pops off.....I could be wrong.....

I hope you're right. I won't be paying for a whole second figure for that. I would have preferred a variant with Larry is his negative form. Overall though, this wave rocks. I really hope they used an adult buck for Donna.

I think that Blue Devil looks way better than the HOTDCU one, so I would like to get him. Negative man is also a no brainer for me, but they really dropped the ball with the variant, Negative Man Unwrapped, what the hell does that even mean? The obvious variant was the negative ghost and is not really that hard is the same smooth buck, casted in translucent black plastic like JLU's Shadow Thief, as simple as that. This is just cheap.

Well, this is a first.
There's not a single figure I personally want in that wave.
Normally there's at least one or two I'd like to have, or at least be tempted by, but that wave is an easy pass for me.
I hope I can find a few for trade fodder and such, but after the Matty Collector's 12 egon coming out in Dec, along with Kamen Rider Decade I'm glad I can pass on some stuff like this.

Ok,Negative Man variant i don't get and Cyclotron is kinda blah but other than that it's a hell of a strong wave.Mighty impressed with Mattel's continuing character choices.

The Superboy one is very good. I also kinda like Blue Devil, even though he looks a bit...tacky. It's not particularly that this figure is tacky, I mean, the colours and his prop (scepter? caduceus?) are tacky, but maybe that's just the character.. Or maybe it's that the shade of his blue skin isn't strong enough. Whatever, it's tacky and I like it!

Not that much in this wave for me. Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl and Cheetah are all great. Negative Man is a miss. The JLU version looks more on character than this for me.

Yeah I'm fairly certain the Negative Man "variant" is the same figure with the parts removed like Cyclotrons. Which means there's still hope for the negative version.
Just Blue Devil, Cheetah, Donna; and Larry for me. I made a Trigon I'm more than happy with a while ago.

That's sort of like me and Kiliwog JackKnight. I really like the DCD one from the first wave of GL figures, so the C+C piece isn't as important. I want about half that set but so far Atom Smasher is the only full C+C I have, and that was more 'well, I got the pieces cheap so I might as well keep him' than 'OOH, must have'. Course, I'd probably trade AS for a Kil just because I'm such a GL fanboy

I love this wave (except for Cyclotron), and while I'd rather a different Superboy (or a modern Conner), the 4H have made that shitty design into and awesome looking figure. Not sure what they're going for with the Negative Man "variant," if that's what it is, so if that's a separate figure from the regular one, I won't be looking for him. The rest really look outstanding. Love that costume on Donna. I'm hoping that Blue Devil is made using a larger male buck than what's currently being used with Superman, etc. One that can be used with Martian Manhunter.

I hearya HM. The only bafs I own so far are Grundy and Atom-Smasher. Still need the leg that came with Vigilante for Giganta. In the same boat as you for Kilowog. I really want him; but only want half the set.

Now that I'm over the excitement of seeing these for the first time, I am feeling a bit more nitpicky.
I think both the Cheetah faces are off. The Priscilla Rich one doesn't work for me for some reason, and the Barbara Minerva one is too blank - a bit more of a scowl or growl would have been better.
Blue Devil's head looks a little small to me. I agree that I hope this is a bigger buck. I'd love a Shadowpact version somewhere down the road.
Negative Man is such an excitement to get, but I am really miffed about the buck used here.
Superboy and Cyclotron are great versions of figures I don't want.
Looks like Wonder Girl (as long as it's the adult buck) and Trigon are the winners of the wave, from the pics at least. Count me out for Cyclotron but I'll be getting the rest to build my Trigon.
