I bet this happened starting with the Man of Steel figures -- compare the detailing of this line with the Dark Knight Rises.

The simplest comparison to ask: Why did the Infinite Heroes line generally look great -- and these were meant for kids! -- compared to MV?

I wonder if the Evergreen/Unlimited line is produced by a different manufacturer, not the same one doing the MV.

All of the packages for my IH figures say "Adult Collector"
