As the title says. Was stoked to have a 6 inch Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes finally come out, only to realize Todd's 7 inch insistence puts his modern Bat-Family offerings out of scale with what I have. Are there any older lines that would work? Thanks.

Mattel had the DC license for years and churned out quite a good amount in the 6" scale. The lines were DC Super Heroes, DC Universe Classics (their main long-running line), and then their version of DC Multiverse. Exact scaling can be a little washy (just like Hasbro) where some figures were closer to 6.5" scale but with the volume of releases they put out there's definitely some good options and for the most part they can be pretty reasonable on the after-market. They're definitely older in make than Hasbro's Classified Joes so the detailing and articulation won't match, but if scale is your goal then that's where I'd start looking. Mafex also has some 6" DC offerings although the character selection is notably smaller and then the price is much higher.

Thank you. I was looking at the DC Super Heroes S3 Batman, but the mouth sculpt is so ugly and ages him by a lot... this goes for the blue/dark grey and black/light grey versions.
