These things are basically DCUC 3.75's with no bicep swivel, no ankle articulation, and no ab crunch.
I won't be buying anymore from this line... I hear Batman is the weak link in the series, but really, there is just something wack going on when this:

... shows up looking like this:


The cape is coming straight off this guy and going on a Batman custom on an MU body; rest is going straight to the trash.

That really is terrible, and the fact that they never let it be known that they removed the ab crunch is just shitty on Mattel's part.

I've been holding off on ordering Bane, but I did order Freeze just because I figure the odds of getting another 3.75" Mr. Freeze is slim to none - especially if this line bombs. I hope he turned out alright, still awaiting its arrival.

It's looking more and more likely that I'll just pick up the movie-based series and ignore the rest if the quality doesn't improve drastically.
