I’m certainly disappointed, Mattel does nothing but set on licenses and make garbage product, at least as far as action figures go. I was hoping this could lead to DC products on the level of a Marvel Legend, but I guess were still stuck in the mud with their crappy Multiverse line. Even if DC decided to pull the license in the event of a buy out, ANY company could do a better job than Mattel has.

I don’t hold Legends up as the gold standard like some do (because it isn’t), but it should certainly be seen as the bare minimum, and Multiverse doesn’t even scrape by a quarter of that. If I had my way, I’d rather see NECA make DC toys in the style of their versus line, those Batman/Superman figures look far better than anything both Hasbro/Mattel have ever done. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like those figures are ever going to be released. At least what NECA makes looks worthy to be in a 6”-7” scale though. Most of the Hasbro stuff look like scaled up 3.75” figures.

No shade at 3.75” figures though, I prefer that scale actually but the choices are slim. I’d love to see the return of Marvel Universe, now that the Vintage Collection is coming back. I can’t help but wonder what the future of the 6” Black Series is, that line peg warms like there’s no tomorrow, and honestly Legends seems to be peg warming too, certainly no where near as bad as the Black Series though. I’d also like to see a competent line of 3.75 DC figures, hopefully Hiya will pull that off with the Injustice line. I want a 3.75 Swamp Thing so bad!
