McFarlane Toys has been keeping the nostalgia alive with their modern revival of the classic DC Super Powers line, and Wave 11 might just be their strongest yet. As soon as these hit the shelves, fans of the original Kenner series couldn’t help but feel that familiar thrill, the one that comes from seeing bright, bold DC heroes and villains in that iconic retro packaging.

In this wave, we’re treated to a well-balanced mix of characters that speak to both hardcore collectors and casual fans. Each figure comes packed with the hallmarks of the original line — classic proportions, vibrant colors, and cardbacks that look like they could have been hanging in toy aisles in the mid-80s. But McFarlane isn’t just relying on nostalgia here. The sculpts are sharper, the paint apps cleaner, and the articulation just as good as that vintage feel.

From a display perspective, Wave 11 delivers big time. These figures have real shelf presence, whether you’re keeping them mint on card or popping them open for your DC display. And for those of us who grew up with the originals, there’s an undeniable joy in seeing these characters reimagined in a way that respects the past while offering modern production quality.
