The new Entertainment Earth DC Super Powers line from McFarlane Toys has me very excited. The main retail waves of these figures were pretty cool, but they were a total boys club (aside from 4 repaints of a Wonder Woman mold). But since the EE-exclusive waves were announced, we've already seen pre-orders for Supergirl, Power Girl, Starfire, and Raven. Anticipation for the latter two has put me on a bit of a Teen Titans kick. I've recently been photographing a lot of older figures that I never got around to posting about prior, and I'm really obsessed with the classic look of the characters. The 2018 Legion of Collectors Teen Titans subscription box from Funko contained 2 of 4 potential 3.75" classic Perez-era Titans figures. These are in the same style as the Batman '66 figures (Batgirl and Catwoman) from the year prior. For years these fetched about fifty bucks each on eBay, but now they can be found for less than retail. It's just a shame they didn't make the other characters. Let's check out Starfire below!
The only thing I don't love about this figure is that her head is placed off-center. I researched a ton of old reviews and it seems that all the Starfires had this to varying degree. The neck post and socket is actually misaligned so it can only be fixed with some careful dremeling and filling.
Here are the contents of the January 2018 Legion of Collectors box.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are the four Legion of Collector's New Teen Titans figures: Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg.
And here is Starfire with her 2009 Infinite Heroes figure from Mattel.
And also with her DC Direct figure from 2000 and her DC Universe Classics figure from 2009.
Cheers!
