Let me start out by saying I do not like the Wonder Twins. To me, they are what ruined the Super Friends in the 70s. I remember the earlier seasons (that I saw in reruns) that had all the cool heroes like Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman, etc. Then in later seasons, things got a little lame. Instead of those cool heroes, we got...the Wonder Twins. I never understood why they would allow Zan and Jayna to join the team. I man Zan could only turn into water-based items (like...water or...an icicle). Jayna could only turn into some type of animal. Throw in Gleek and you're just asking for trouble.
Mattel's DC Universe Classic line is featuring the twins in some pretty nifty packaging and exclusive to San Diego Comic-Con, you can get Gleek if you buy the set. That's the only way to get him.
For some reason, I really want to get this, despite my animosity towards them. Thankfully they have Fed Ex on site to ship them home as I don't want to be walking around with a cumbersome package. Check out the video from Matty Collector. It's a little...slow but you can see how the package lights up and has sound clips.

They look a lot like a bad comic book version of Donnie & Marie Osmond. Reminds me of that family guy scene.

So I'm the only one who LOVES the Wonder Twins? Sure the Hanna Barbara Superfriends cartoon made em corny. But these two could be really great characters if given half a chance. Jayna is smokin and Zan could have been badass. The monkey was lame, theres no two ways about it. But those figures look cool. Multiple points of articulation as well as a mini Eagle and bucket of Water..............Babs better get this for me :P

Those are some pretty cool toys.
I haven't ever heard of these heroes before. I'll have to check them out.

When was the last time Wonder Twins were in a comic? Whatever happened to them anyway? I only remember them from those two really old Super Friend shows.
I actually liked the Wonder Twins because if done right they can be pretty cool characters. You can't blame a crappy cartoon for them sucking, look at Robin in that show he was practically worthless. In the Justice League Cartoon they were actually pretty cool when they didn't speak. I would love a re-imagining of them in a mini.
