So my Azrael and Bane from DC Comics Multiverse (Mattel) arrived and I have to say they are really well done and comparable to the Marvel Universe line. I was worried because A) the DC Collectibles 3.75" are a bit small B) Mattel has a crappy track record with the scale C) the press shots of the figures don't do them any favors and D) the articulation seems lacking.

I am pleased to say I was 100% wrong. The scale is very 3.75"-4" ala MU. The figures are scaled closer to the MU 4" scale so they fit in.
The articulation is somewhere between the MU line and the Marvel movie line figures. The knees move, the thighs swivel, the legs are T-Crotch style but move in every direction like a ball joint except the ball joint is inside of the figure so it is more limiting. The waist swivels (unlike the Marvel movie lines) and the arms have the internal shoulder ball joint as well. The elbow move up and down only unfortunately and the wrist turns. The neck is a ball as well so the head can move although for these two molds they don't have much to move bc of the sculpt.

The paint is perfect (unlike a lot of the MU figures). The accessories are little to none ala MU.

All in all these figures are a must buy for the MU side of the house and I HOPE Mattel will keep this line going as MU has been in flux. All in all a keeper and a welcome addition to the scale.
