Poe Ghostal received his first toy, a Mighty Mouse figure, at age three. Thus began a lifelong interest (some might say obsession) with toys. A child of the 1980s, he grew up on Star Wars, He-Man & Transformers toys, as well as more obscure lines such as Power Lords, Robo Force, and Manglors.
Poe has written about toys for IGN.com and ToyFare magazine. He was a founder of OAFE.net and has been a guest reviewer for Michael Crawford’s popular review site.
Mattel sends along these high resolution photos of Wave 8.

I like the Mr. Terrific, but I think I’d prefer him without the giant permanent hole in his back.

Has anyone told us if the wings on Hawkman and Hawkgirl are going to extend at all?
Also I hope the paint apps on Steel are the same at retail. I’ve often hoped that they would paint the underlying hinges and the ones on his feet look great.

I believe the Hawk-wings do extend, yes.

Anybody else seeing the potential for a Phantom Stranger retool of Gentleman Ghost?

I’ve been assuming Gentleman Ghost will become the new Joker…

If anyone’s curious, I have it straight from the source that the yellow Dr. Fate is the standard figure, and the golden one is the variant.

That makes me sad. I’m way more interested in the Golden version.

There is good news-the Parademons are being packed 50/50.

Well, I’ve got a set of wave 8 coming from CSC, plus I ordered an extra of each Parademon, so I’m all set…
Of course, let’s be realistic here, folks. We’re not going to see these until May 2009–that’s more than half a year away.

DCUC Adam Strange and Starfire release date is January 15! Yahooo!!! I was afraid of being bombarded with product all at once.
Wave 5, 6, trus two packs….sheesh…and you can’t even find all these figures I all consider “chase” figures. lol

HUZZAH!!! Yellow Fate is standard! Thats the one I want(NEED) two of!
I subscribe to the GG=Joker theory, but think you’re dead right, he’d just as easily become Phantom Stranger. With Etrigan, an alleged Dead Man and potential Phantom Sranger… I hope they do Swamp Thing!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t the Variant Fate’s forearms also be gold?

@T-T: Yes.
