DC Universe Black Manta 3.75 Inch Prototype Figure - eBay (item 180558270440 end time Sep-12-10 16:46:46 PDT)

This figure is still wrong.

I really hope that the GL line gets all new tooling. There is so much potential for a DC line if Mattel would get their heads out of their mindset of "lets blame retailers and collectors for not buying our craptastic overpriced poorly produced and underarticulated figures."

This is coming from someone who will GLADLY pay retail and above (I buy a lot from BBTS, so it's not a ton above retail) for the Marvel Universe line. MU has its flaws for sure, but it is a worthwhile product for the price. They've managed to have decent character selection while maintaining a rotation of heavy hitters with solid articulation.

Take a cue from MU.

Take a cue from Build 'n' Brawl.

Take a cue from Microman.

Take a cue from the NECA Helboy and Horror lines.

Take a cue from G.I. Joe.

Ignore the Playmates Star Trek line. They almost sucked worse than DCIH, but at least they came with chairs.

Don't be proud. Don't let any meager accomplishments in DCIH persuade you that the line doesn't need redone from scratch. Deathstroke was a nice improvement, but he's still not good enough. Please, I want to support a line that is good enough.

Thanks to whoever made it the end of my tirade. I wouldn't rant if I didn't care.
