Mattel’s Tribute to Unproduced Super Powers: Gold Superman & Green Lantern as Riddler
 |
This is pretty geeky cool – for the final wave of Mattel’s DC Superheroes, they’re doing a tribute to Kenner’s old Super Powers line. While it’ll have the expected Silver Age Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, it also has the two great tributes above – Gold Superman was prototyped for the original line but never released, while a repainted Green Lantern was sold in the Mexican “Super Amigos” line as the Riddler.
Fleshing out the wave will be Mr. Mxyzptlk and a build-a-figure Kalibak. For images and more Mattel news, including some big Masters of the Universe announcements, check out their latest blog post at Mattycollector.
