Sorry, but I like gimmicks. Super Powers would be my favorite toyline EVER except they didn't make all the toys for the characters in the series (why the made Golden Pharaoh and not, say, Apache Chief just boggles my mind). If they remade something very similar with more--way more--characters, I'd drop my DCUC collection in a heartbeat.
Mattel can manage to put out a gimmicky WWE line (FlexForce) that's 6 inches, decent sculpts, and has (nearly) appropriate gimmicks for what, $11 retail? Yet for a 4 inch little plastic blob with nearly no articulation and poor sculpting (GL movie, JLU, etc.) we're expected to pay $8 - $9?
I'm trying to get my son into action figures. . .what sells it for him is either gimmicks or vehicles. Other than that, he'd rather have Legos.
