Damn, I just received 17 of these figures and the Batmobile on Halloween day and also the Hall of Justice the next day!! I also have 13 mini comics that were included with the figures. The Super Powers line is one of my all-time favorite action figures lines ever!! Awesome video, brutha! 👍
Superpowers' Penguin's umbrella didn't launch, that was the later version. Instead the original had a telescoping dagger in the tip, which was quite similar in design to Kenner's Obi Wan, Darth Vader, and farm boy Luke Skywalker lightsaber. Penguin's power action was to thrust the dagger umbrella in a stabbing motion.
+shawn tornin Thanks Shawn! I've had nearly the entire collection twice but both times it had to go. Never did get Captain Marvel or Cyborg so this time I'm in it to win it. Gotta get'em all!
+navin balakrishnan Thanks Navin! I should be putting up a new collection update video soon by the middle of summer. I'm just waiting on a few items, one of them being the NECA 30th anniversary SDCC exclusive box set. I was one of the lucky ones to actually manage to preorder one in the few minutes before they sold out of first day stock!
trickymarigold I bought one eBay for about 50 bucks, without the cape. But I’ve ordered a custom made one. It’s a little big but it’s better than nothing. I just picked up Superman and a Robin, both with custom capes on eBay the other day for 20 bucks apiece, actually Robin was 16 bucks. These figures are a guilty pleasure. After all I’m a grown man and I’m still a sucker for these.
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Luthor’s armor gave him “super strength”; if you pull off the armor and squeeze his legs his arms won’t punch as high.
Can Robin's right arm be moved when you don't use the Power Action? I know when packaged it's down by his side but once you've used the action feature, can it still move independently for posing/play?
Gary W. The right arm can be adjusted too. When you want him to go all Chick Norris on a super villain you just move it back to the karate chop position .
Lol, I can't believe you don't know why Luthor's armor comes off. Guess that little tidbit came with the figure's comics. Anyways long story short, Luthor looses his powers whenever Superman rips the armor off. I kid you not! There's a tiny lever on Luthor's back that gets pushed in when Luthor's armor is "on". If it's not pushed in or the armor is misaligned, the powers don't work. FYI, that green plastic armor is very delicate, so I wouldn't have him lose his powers often if I were you.😜
Ricardo Cabarrouy Holy crap I didn’t know that. I’ve had a Luthor since I was like 7 and never had the slightest idea that was what the button was for. Lol.
Brad The DC Universe Geek ...It's okay. I recently found out there's a slot on Kalibak' boulder bumper vehicle for him to rest his beta club. I still don't know how it took me 30 years to figure it out. I mean, the box even showed it. 😊
Hey,how's it going?. I just recently found 2 action figures one of them was a 1989 Robin mint condition no cape and a 1985 tornado mint condition no cape $0.25 a piece thrift store.
The other. I had from back in the day is Flash the one you just bought Superman the one you're showing and Green Lantern Superman has no cape little worn but that's what I got later.

Best comic book toy line ever made! All of them are just beautiful.
My Mother was so good to me...I received toys year round and Christmas was epic! Love you Mom!
I wish they would reissue these figures and maybe make some new ones.
The greatest toyline of the 1980s.

i also collect the super powers collection....u have an awesome collection

Brad, you have a collection that can't be beat!

OMG I had so many of those as a kid!! Great collection!
Me too! Wish I still had them. Only have a handful now.
Excellent. Kick ass
In the commercials, Penguin was making that stabbing motion. ☂️
Try a Mr. Clean sponge on the scuffs. Gently.
My holiest grail is the dc super heroes captain marvel. A store near me had one with a cape forever and I never could justify it to myself

Did't they use that same Penguin mold for the Kenner Batman Returns toyline?
Cool video where can get these action figures
I just watch eBay like crazy for deals.
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Luthor’s armor gave him “super strength”; if you pull off the armor and squeeze his legs his arms won’t punch as high.
Nice video! Same feeling when I got my Super power Superman!

What is the actual address to that shop? I searched and found one but its only anime stuff

Hahaha Penguin's action feature looks like a rude gesture.

And the Joker??
Too Bad you didn't received it in their original package.
