WOW! What a scoop on the latest offerings from small time toy
company, Just Us Toys Inc. You’ll never believe this!!!
It looks like for the first time in years the most requested
DC toy line is being resurrected. Yes I mean Super Powers!!!
Yes, that’s right the toy line of the 80’s that
featured such stars a Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, &
Shazam! A line that gave us super-hero figures with working
action features. Just Us Toys has managed to secure a deal that
will allow them to reproduce figures of that line as well as
expand on it with characters from the era in which the line
was created.
While interview the CEO, Justice Kaerf we learned that the
line won’t start out with the traditional heroes like
Green Lantern & Flash, which will be reproduced down the
way. Instead the first offerings will give us Bizarro, Black
Canary, & Ralph Dibny the Elongatedman. Each figure will
come with a unique action feature. Black Canary feature Power
Action Judo Block, while Elongatedman has Power Action Torso
Stretch. Finally Power Action Backwards Super Slug belongs to
Bizarro. The new figures will also feature the classic packaging
of the original line.
We wondered why such choices for the start of
a line, that we know fans and collectors will snatch up, so
we asked. The reply was…”Simple, most the characters
have been done before and we at JUTI wanted to give the fans
something new with the lines debut, not to just rehash the same
characters that we see at the start of every DC toy line”.
When asked who else would show up in the line, Kaerf had this
to say, “ I’m a huge fan of classic DC characters
and cartoons that showcase those characters, as well a big fan
of the Justice League & Teen Titans”.
Hmm…does this mean we may see the likes of Black Manta,
Cheetah & the rest of the Legion of Doom? Maybe Changeling
& Kid Flash? Hawkgirl? Zatanna? Guess only time will tell
but one thing is for sure, this line is sure to be a big hit
with fans.
