Holy crap. There's a TON of cool characters coming out!

Man, Mattel's 6" DC figures are beautiful but the 3.75" lines need some work IMO.

The Target Public Enemies 3/6 packs are a step in the right direction, I was shocked to see the ball jointed hips and thigh swivels! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I normally avoid the JLU figures like the plague due to their cheap and horrible quality, and I've yet to buy any of the 3.75" Infinite Heroes figures 'cause I don't think they look very good at all... but I totally geeked out when I saw the JLU 4-pack of the Justice Guild of America. I'm definitely getting that! The 6" figures are certainly much more impressive, however. That 6" Power Girl... oh WOW! Be still, my heart! :D

I'm with you, man. Thankfully, it appears as though they're beginning to address QC issues as some figures shown had hip joints and whatnot. If this is what we can expect..I'm so in for a financial beat down. Thanks, SDCC! lol



Right? The detailing is amazing.

The new articulation model on the infinite heroes is definitely a step in the right direction, now I have a reason to purchase them. That Doomsday pack is bought in my eyes. If the public enemies 3.75" guys fit the style sufficiently, they're also a must buy. Of course, the DCUC figures are nice, even the animated heads on the target line. 4H and Mattel are going to make my wife hate me.

Even though I already made a more than sufficient mod for Scarecrow out of Joker Henchman, I still want that Arkham Asylum version a lot. I also desperately want Two-Face.
