Nothing sells more than monkies packing heat.

And I love how the Brain's jaw moves when you press down on his dome. A little action feature there in the spirit of the Super Powers. Hyuck yuck yuck.

Speaking of which I'd totally be on a Hit-Monkey if Marvel ever decide to do one!

scottmurdock 11-04-2011 02:13 PM

I have almost all of them (save for Ravager, Trickster, Heatwave, Dr. Light). Don't compare them to MU like what the guys here have already said. As a stand alone toyline they're decent. Look on Amazon for the best deals IMO. I've gotten 3 packs and 6 packs for some very reasonable (sometimes great) prices.

I would too, even though I think the comic didn't live up to my expectations.

Yeah but the Deadpool/Spider-man crossover was hilarious! Anyway going off topic...

I can't steer it back, I got nothing.

CLASSIFIED 11-04-2011 03:09 PM

I thought the Infinite Heroes figures weren't all bad, and if they kept making them, I'd still get them today.

I say go for it.

Collect yourself some DCIH figures.

Ravager is a very nice figure and has the new female articulation. Dr. Light's also a very nice figure. I paid a fortune for Trickster and Heatwave. I suggest for anyone who has these, if you're looking for a nice diorama piece or playset, consider the original Super Powers line Hall of Justice as it is very well scaled. The Hall of Justice is also very reasonably priced. I've seen them as low as 10 or 20 bucks used with most if not all of the original accessories. :)

CLASSIFIED 11-04-2011 04:25 PM

I didn't even know there was a Trickster and Ravager!

Could anyone post pics, I'd love to see them.

thechris 11-04-2011 05:29 PM

Here's the Trickster/Heatwave/Flash 3 pack. I love mine. :)

No hotlinking - Toyark Staff.

Here's Ravager/Dr. Arthur Light and Tim Drake 3 Pack.

Dr. Light is fantastic. Ravager is pretty cool, too but Deathstroke looks great. Also really like the Booster Gold and Mr Terrific figures they put out.

I was going to do a group shot of every figure in the series (except for the 30 inch tall Anti Monitor they raffled at SDCC which I don't have, see pic below) but some of them kept tipping over so I said screw it. LOL.

CLASSIFIED 11-04-2011 05:55 PM

That Anti Monitor looks better than the CnC version.

It's definitely more comic accurate, that's for sure.

tlasjr 11-05-2011 07:11 AM

For 3 3/4 inch dc figures my suggestions would bein descending order

1. Superman and Batman have to be Microman.
2. Customize MU figures.
3. 1980's Mego Pocket Superheroes
4. print a picture of a dc hero. tape to front of another figure.
5. Search ebay for loose dcih figures

That being said I cracked and have abunch of these figures. Some of them are great. The only major Justice leauge member I havent Customized is Wonder Woman because despite the articulation the DCIH one is great.

More accurate in size at least.

The others are just as accurate in design. They are all from different comic eras. The massive one is from the original usage, the CNC one is a more recent comic interpretation.

Galactus 11-06-2011 12:41 PM

Takara made a highly articulated microman batman that fits right in with the MU figures, could look into that. As for Superman and Hal...dont know where to help you there unless you want to get the better articulated infinite crisis Superman and can deal with an almost statue like Green lantern from either line.

Scarecroodle 11-06-2011 02:41 PM

Some of the DCIH stuff was pretty good like Dr. Light but most was bleagh. Even some of the later 3packs involved earlier parts with less articulation. At the same time you'd occasionally see decent sculpting like on Scarecrow (which looked far nicer than the DCSH one).

However, I should point out that Microman figures are available for some of the Superman and Batman family. The articulation is pretty solid on those and they have alt parts.

Rattrap Primal 12-17-2011 11:10 AM

Mattel really dropped the ball on the Infinite Heroes line. Hopefully, they'll one day revisit the concept and give their figures articulation on par with the superior Hasbro stuff (even Star Wars has better articulation, while Marvel Universe and GI Joe are even more awesome)

Mattel, if you read the boards, just release MOTU, Ghostbuster, WWE and DC in a 4 inch line that rivals your competitors (while keeping 6 inch alive) and your fans would be happy

BigHanksCustoms 12-17-2011 12:54 PM

I say if you like MU and want to dabble in the DC universe at 3 3/4 I'd invest in the MicroMan DC figures. Very articulated. A bit delicate but much better than the standard DC fare. And a sound investment, if your collecting desires change, they are easy enough to trade or sell off.

MrAmericanIdiot 12-17-2011 06:35 PM

i only have hal jordan, guy gardner, and blackhand and i gotta say i like them. they are neat little figures to fiddle with.

Autobot_Goldbug 12-17-2011 07:01 PM

Did you get any yet?
They definitely weren't all that bad.

http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...oes/DCIH01.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...oes/DCIH02.jpg

The most difficult ones to get are the last 3 packs.
I still haven't found Heat Wave & Trickster.

Snowflakian 12-17-2011 08:14 PM

Lucky! I meant to get that Doomsday one, but never got around to it. Other that I'm just missing a few titans and JL members alongside deathstroke.

I still wish they had made a kid flash and Impulse for that line though. Can't believe those two never made it.

If you have one near you you could try Gordman's. I saw lots of Doomsday sets there for a very good price. However it has been a while so they may already be gone.

I'm not too worried about it. Someday when I finally want to drop the cash, I'll just ebay for it.

I got lucky in that regard getting the Kyle Rayner parallax set. Something like 10 bucks shipped and I had an ebay giftcard so it was more or less free. Seems the longer DCIH is done, the cheaper the figures and overstock are getting on ebay.

Specter 12-19-2011 12:48 PM

if you can get MicroMan(3 3/4-4in) Batman, Catwoman, Batgirl
they are the best DC figures of any scale. every point of articulation you could want, they look great and the accessories are amazing they all have like 5 different sets of hands in different poses.

Batman has a oxygen mask,batarang,grapple gun and batcuffs

Batgirls cape and hair are articulated also has her purse and a batarang

Catwoman has a non goggled alt head, alt boots with knives out, clawed gloved hands and her whip

For anyone who is looking for the Microman figures, I have Catwoman, Batgirl, and two versions of Batman. Just PM me and maybe we can work something out.

trebleshot 12-20-2011 07:07 AM

I'm not a fan of DCIH, but buy what you want. My only suggestion would be to keep them separate from your MU display.

I have Hal from the GL Movie line and he's shorter than Joes, MU and IM2 figures. He's about at tall as Red Skull from the Cap movie line.
