As far as I know, the lines that make up this scale (circa) are:
Mego
Pocket Super Heroes (original)

Remco
Sgt. Rock (+ "Bad Guys")

Bandai
Teen Titans

Mattel
Infinite Heroes
Justice League Unlimited
Young Justice
Green Lantern (film)
The Dark Knight/Rises/Trilogy
Man of Steel
Multiverse (pre 2016)

Takara
Microman (Superman & Batman lines)

DC Collectables
Green Lantern
Injustice

Funko
ReAction (Flash and Arrow TV series)
Suicide Squad
Batman '66

I'll start off with my purchase from Saturday.

The Mego is split into 2 sets: Comic Action Heroes (bent knee) and Pocket Super Heroes (straight knee). Shazam, Joker and Penguin in the CAH line were replaced with Luthor, Jor-El and Zod in the PSH line. Personally I like the bent knee Penguin and Green Goblin figures with the other straight knee figures. They just fit better.

CCC.

A hot tip for those wishing to display their DCIH figures, toothpicks fit perfectly in the holes in the feet and can be cut off longer than the pegs on the bases they come with. Take a PowerAde or Gatorade cap and put a hole in it with a push pin. Push the toothpick through the hole from the inside most of the way. Put a drop of super glue or hot glue on the inside where the toothpick is. Snip off the toothpick on the outside about 1/8th inch long. You can hold the base and turn the figure horizontal and it will not fall off. You can use the same toothpick for 4 or 5 bases.

CCC.

I always looked at comic actions heroes and pocket heroes as the same line. I'd compare it to the difference between GI Joe wave one and wave 1.5. The only real difference is the pose of the legs.

Pictures have turned up of Firefly, Bronze Tiger and Talon hitting Targets.

Il Cattivo · 06-29-2020, 11:10 AM

I haven’t seen a thing past wave 1 dammit.

Jay West · 06-30-2020, 11:02 AM

Just scored Batwoman and Black Tux Joker. Really want Moth, Talon, Tiger, Lex, and the two packs. I hope Batline goes long enough for Harley, Bane, and I’d really like a Batman Who Laughs.

Found a Red Robin finally the first wave 2 figure I’ve seen. Not much. If it’s a start.

Same here. I was just at Walmart and they had 1 Man-Bat, 1 Croc and lots and lots of Batman.

snake5289 · 07-01-2020, 11:34 AM

I finally saw Nightwing, Man-Bat, Joker, and Robin for the first time last week. It was also the first time I'd been out of the house since all the virus stuff started too.

Captain Morgan · 07-02-2020, 03:16 PM

Did anyone ever see these in the wild?

slim19722 · 07-02-2020, 04:56 PM

Found a lone Killer Moth last week at Walmart and today finally got a Wonder Woman from Target and left a Aquaman as I have the 2pk version.

snake5289 · 07-02-2020, 06:09 PM

So I made a Brainiac.

It'll do until they make an Injustice 2 figure anyway.

EZTOYDUDE · 07-03-2020, 03:20 PM

So looks like this abomination can work as a killer croc or even if painted grey maybe doomsday ... Has anyone made a DCEU doomsday

joefan76 · 07-04-2020, 06:58 PM

Found Batwoman, Killer Moth, and hooded Robin things are moving in the right direction still a bunch more I need to find ugh I wish we could buy waves online.

oh he does look more like a Killer Croc!

Injustice Doomsday is pretty nice...

Infinite Heroes one was a big/small disappointment

Alex Ross pointed out how the new CW show Stargirl took after much of his JSA art. Would be nice to see Ross inspired figures.
