VOTE for 3.75 inch figures!

What the heck is that rainbow Batman thing about?

Is there an option for no clear plastic joint pieces and good joint clearance to the figures could be posed even if the joint doesn't break? Them DCC Injustice and Lantern figs are garbage, every last one I've bought. And quit making the humans deliberately too small to intermingle with our preexisting toys, you clods! This stuff must be a tax dodge somehow, as that's the only sane reason to make stuff with every indicator that it's gonna fail.

Well, it seems to be winning, but I would hope this is due more to the size and NOT the fact that this line would be based on the New 52. That right there costs me any interest in it regardless of size.

You're thinking of the Multiverse line, Treks. It's succeeding because people have a tolerance for for toys with outdated artic schemes and a desperation for beloved characters in the best toy scale.

No, I'm thinking of the New 52, listed as such on that link.

Not that I have a whole lot of use for the Multiverse line, either. Although the Christopher Reeve Superman figure was nice.

Okay, I read that again and see where you're going, Treks. Yeah, I'm still not interested in anything Nu52. I'm glad that TV Flash is really 60s Ditko Peter Parker with Flash powers instead of really being about Barry Allen. I haven't gotten into Arrow yet, but Flash is flat-out awesome despite technically being heavily Nu52-laden, because that's not how they're *writing* it.

I'm enjoying The Flash series, and I tend to see the DC Universe TV series as an entirely separate universe. It pleases me that they're reasonably respectful to the characters and concepts, but I don't necessarily expect it to be right on the money. World of difference between that and a total overhaul of the comics universe that was neither needed nor especially well executed, which is the most polite I can be about the New 52.

I pretty much hate DC comics, but I'd love some of those Nu52 3.75" figures. The guy in the trenchcoat, for example, would be awesome.

Knowing how these are made, and looking that the Constantine figure, it looks like the portion of his trenchcoat on his chest is a separate piece from the portion hanging down below the moob joint. Which means he'd look godawfully terrible if you ever twisted said moob joint.

And good God is giving Captain Cold ice arms a terrible choice. I don't care about the story behind it; that crap simply ruins him as a 'low-rent blue collar' supervillain.

I think you're right about Constantine. Why bother giving a figure that joint if you can't use it without making the whole thing look stupid?

What's the point of giving them doubled knees that together are only capable of a 90° bend? What's obvious to me with this line and far too many others is that they sculpt out a statue, then retrofit artic into it as an afterthought. That process makes for universally-crummy figures because you can't have the defining characteristic of a thing be an afterthought and have it be good. It's like designing a car then figuring out what engines will fit in it. That car is gonna suck.
