Fans of once-obscure DC characters rejoice! Peacemaker, Vigilante, and Judo Master have officially joined McFarlane Toys’ version of the retro Super Powers toy line! Yes, these three are based on their DC Comics counterparts and not the James Gunn DCEU version.
Interestingly, McFarlane Toys has decided to pack the trio on one card rather than the typical individual blister packs. I’m unsure if I’m a fan of that because it means the comic book artwork usually seen on the front has now been moved to the back.
Peacemaker, Vigilante, and Judo Master come with no accessories. Peacemaker’s helmet is not removable. On top of that, McFarlane Toys continues not to include action features similar to the Kenner version of Super Powers.
This triple pack may be pre-ordered from Entertainment Earth for $29.99. They’re expected to be released this November.
The back of the packing gives you the characters’ bios, including their secret identities. You know, just in case this wasn’t the exact version of Peacemaker you were looking for:
PEACEMAKER™ Real name: CHRISTOPHER SMITH
When diplomacy isn’t enough, PEACEMAKER™ loves peace so much he is willing to fight for it – violently, if necessary.
VIGILANTE™ Real name: ADRIAN CHASE
A master of all forms of unarmed combat, VIGILANTE™ is also an expert in the use of firearms and knives. He is in superb physical shape and, combined with his superior skills in the martial arts, is a formidable opponent in almost any situation.
JUDO MASTER™ Real name: RIP JAGGER
Skilled in all forms of judo, jujitsu and other martial arts, JUDOMASTER™ is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant. He is also an above-average boxer and combines both disciplines to good effect.
If you’re new to this iteration of Super Powers, please remember that the figures are slightly larger than the Kenner run from the 1980s. The originals were 3.75″, and the new ones were 4.5″ tall. They look pretty awkward being displayed next to one another.
On the bright side, the old and new figures fit into the latest vehicles, including an excellent update to the Batmobile.
