Does anyone know of a DCU IH checklist online that contains all the variants/chase figures, exclusives, box sets, and re-releases? Every one I come across seems to be missing some info. As hard as it is with finding all these figures in stores(I don't know if it's Mattel, scalpers, or a little of both), I still can't find a great checklist to aid me in my search.

The Wiki entry on the DC Universe toyline should have everything you need for that terrible Infinite Heroes toyline.

Thanks guys! Looking at pictures for the whole line shocks me that Kenner's Super Powers are actually better even though they came out over 20 years ago.

I've posted before on this site as to how terrible I thought these figures were... until I bought one. Now I'm hooked. If you're an articulation or accessory junkie, these are not for you. Me, I like them because they remind me of those Kenner figures. I think they're well made and pretty sturdy, compared to my MU figures which feel like they're gonna break whenever I move their limbs. Honestly, I love both DCIH and MU lines, but for some reason DCIH just screams "fun!" to me. It must be the character selection and the fact that they look very cartoon-like, which I enjoy. I dunno. Definitely not for everyone though.

I think comparing the two lines is like apples to oranges. They've both got pros and cons and I don't think either company is dominating with their line. I'm not sure I can say Marvel is better once you factor in the price.

As far as scale in general is concerned, Hasbro's pretty much had the lock on 3.75" figures since they bought Kenner in 1991. Mattel's playing catch up at this point.
Of course, I really wouldn't compare the MU and DCIC lines myself, since it seems ridiculous for me to say "This Batman figure is so much better than that Wolverine figure." It just doesn't make sense to me.

By the way, what was the size of Mattel's Secret Wars toys from the 80's? Were they 3.75? |

I thought they were more like 4.75 inches.

Man, I loved those as a little kid!! Even though they don't hold up as well as a lot of the Super Powers(Magneto and Doom didn't have capes and Cap had the same goofy shield that everyone else had), I was into these way more than the Distinguished Competition's toys initially. It also didn't hurt that the Secret Wars maxi-series was one of my first comics and I was dying to get a Wolverine toy after reading it. Boy, times have changed.

Even a pic next to a ruler would be fine. I'm going off fuzzy memories myself, so I could be wrong. It's been over 20 years since I last had a Secret Wars figure in hand.
