Hey, those look better than I thought they would! Can't wait for these to come out this year. And yes, I believe Star Boy and Ultra Boy are supposed to be a part of the set so I'm not sure why they weren't included?

These, do indeed look, awesome and I cannot wait for them to be announced
I do hope that Jo and Thoms absence is due to them not quite being ready as opposed to the pack being reduced in numbers.
The only. exceedingly minor, criticism I have is Brainy looks strangely bulky in comparison to the others.

I think the reason that the remaining figures from the 12 pack aren't being displayed is that the Four Horsemen have not finished the sculpting process on them.

To clarify, the four figures yet to be shown (as Colossal Boy said, likely due to having not been sculpted yet) are Karate Kid, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, and Colossal Boy. Star Boy isn't among their number, unless the slots have changed.
Personally, with how much this set has been pushed back and with how it's still a secondary work-in-progress for the Four Horsemen, I was hoping Mattel might have heard the outcry from fans half a year ago and changed the last few slots over to some Legion ladies. Nura and Ayla in their 80s outfits come to mind as simple repaints using the existing Imra body (minus the skirt piece). I almost wish they'd go that route. I could see Mon, Val, and Jo surviving in regular waves of DC Universe Classics easily. Plus, their inclusion in a regular wave could help justify the inclusion of their compatriots who otherwise we may never get to see - Shady, Jeckie, and Tinya.
Wishful thinking, probably. Still excited for this set and will support it regardless. I'm glad Cham is in his yellow/purple outfit just so the team has a more unified look, minus 70s Timber Wolf. Believe Mattel hasn't said anything since the report a few months back that the Legion set was coming late summer 2011.

The remaining figures are Karate Kid, Ultra Boy and Colossal Boy. Mon-EL isnt in the set.

Whoops, you're correct. My numbers were off. I forgot the first unveil had five Legionnaires instead of four, like this time. Which I'm fine and glad by. Mon-El will do good on his lonesome.

I love the sculpts on these figs. Brainy's face is exactly how I picture it, based on the various artists of the '70s. And I love Wildfire's boots! So cool that they really went for the swashbuckler tops. Gotta say though, isn't Drake rather ripped for someone who's a shapeless ball of anti-energy?

Wish they had gone with Cockrum's design for Chamelion Boy instead of Giffen's. Hopefully CB and KK will be more Cockrum/Grell goodness.

I, too, was disappointed to see that Cham's outfit didn't match the image shown at SDCC. I never liked Giffen's tweaks to Cockrum's work. I can live with (and customize) the dreadful violet/yellow combo, but if they dare go with Giffen's (downgrade) Colossal Boy pajamas over Cockrum's spiffy outfit, they'll be Hell to pay!!!
I know they haven't even been mentioned yet, but Phantom Girl and Shrinking Violet must both be 70s outfits. I can live with Element Lad in his horrid magenta/black combo, but would prefer the green/dark blue/black Cockrum version.
Frankly, I want to see Imra in her bikini eventually.

yeah, cause a Giffen Karate Kid figure would be really puffy and bruised looking.
