I just find it so odd that Flashpoint was the one being used when DC KNEW they were going to reboot the entire line. It just doesn't make sense to me, especially when a line like the Action League really shouldn't be tied to any single continuity in my opinion. Anyway, lets wrap this wave up with the final pack - Cyborg and Element Woman! Cyborg is a really good figure, Element Woman is weird. Much like the Flash & "Citizen" Cold pack, this one fits right in with the existing DCU. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=11395

Once again bud - im with u. I plan on getting this pack and the Flash pack because Cold and Cyborg are close enough. Element Woman is not for me. And the other 2-packs are a definite pass.

I was thinking that the planning and creation of this line was put into action when the comics were also in the planning stages. They probably decided it was cheaper to go ahead with the figures than to scrap it.
If this isn't true then fire the nincompoop that said "WHOO! FLASHPOINT FIGURES STAT!"

I've heard that the Flashpoint wave is starting to show up at Kmarts now.
Now I wonder when the next wave will show up, because Mattel showed off packaged versions at Toy Fair.

I'm liking the reviews Jester! Just got in wave 4, and noticed that Deadman's skin glows in the dark. Did anyone else notice this?

Just an FYI if u havent kept up: Mattel is having issues with their DC toys. So far DCU and Young Justice have been canned. No word yet on Action League.

Yeah, I heard about that. I'm assuming you read this piece: www.itsalltrue.net/?p=17905It's very well done piece. Mattel is absolutely nuts right now, but I'm not sure its all their fault either. They got screwed over by DC multiple times now in the last year. Green Lantern was a huge flop, they weren't told about the new 52 in advance and Mattel put a bunch of eggs in the Flashpoint basket only to have it blow up.

Is there really nothing about Action League at Comic Con? No pictures or even a comment whether or not the line is continuing?

I didn't see a single thing related to Action League in any of the SDCC coverage I saw.
There is still the 5-pack with Shazam, Modern Wonder Woman, Phasing Martian Manhunter, New 52 Batman, and Blue Beetle. I never saw it for sale, but supposedly people have gotten their hands on it.
I also never saw the most recently shown wave with "vehicles" like glider Plastic Man & Atom, Batman & some mechanical thing, Green Lantern & construct, and Orange Lantern & Construct.
