3.75" scale! Perfect for posing with G.I.Joes. Never really liked larger action figures all that much and the JLU figures were just too stiff looking to me. But I like smaller figures so I can pose them in groups on a shelf without, y'know, having to put up shelves and furniture just for toys.

But check this out (about halfway down):

Adam Strange! Hush! Hawkman! Thangarian troop builders! Black Adam! Jay Garrick! Catwoman! Batwoman! Wildcat! Weather Wizard! Black Adam! Supergirl! Power Girl! Bizarro! Green Arrow! Green Lantern!

And, yes... Black Canary!

This takes me back to the Super Powers toys I had as a kid. This is my Kryptonite! I was just thinking about how I was pretty much done collecting toys but these are just too cool and the character selections are brilliantly diverse and random!

OMG! I want the plushies. So cute.

Still no Wonder Woman in the Super Friends line though, huh? I'm pissed about that. Two of my friends had babies around the same time, and I jokingly started to my friend's son as Batman. Then it became a thing where I assigned superheroes to all my friends' children. Do you know how hard it is to find anything Wonder Woman that is appropriate for a small child? I was so psyched about that line when it started, too. Now I don't want to get the the little boy all the cool Batman stuff when I can't get the little girl any Wonder Woman stuff. It wouldn't be fair.
