I just read about the wonder twins - apparently the monkey (gleek?) will only be available with the set at SDCC. That set that goes to the website after will just be the twins.
I was on the fence about trying to get those two, but the lack of the monkey seals it for me - I won't be picking it up.
I'm a bit disappointed in what mattel is putting up on mattycollector. I thought that Adam Strange/Starfire pack was a great choice, but don't really understand the Ultraman/Alex Luthor set. And while I can appreciate the nostalgia of the wonder twins, it's not what I thought they would be doing with the website. I figured they would use it to launch some of the more obscure characters that collectors would like, which would fill in gaps in the series, and figures that would be a hard sell at retail.
One thing I thought would be perfect is a Raven/Beast Boy set to help round out the Titans. Both characters that would be a tough sell at retail, but I think collectors would happily pick that up.
