The Horsemen pulled me back into figure collecting when they worked for DC. Amazing talent. I was a Marvel/Kirby fan as a child, and thought Batman, Superman, etc. were just plain silly. (They were, too, back in the 60s...when Superman could "drink the ocean"...when Batman was recruited by Martians to catch crooks there...etc.) When DC Direct, then Universe Classics first came out, I was determined to ignore them. The last thing I needed were more figures...from comics I didn't really care for...who was I kidding? What great sculpts! I only wish Marvel had hired them to produce Silver Age figures.

In fact, the Horsemen have set the bar pretty high for my tastes. Most Marvel Legends sculpts these days just can't hold a candle, IMO.

I have about a dozen Mythic Legion guys on my shelves. A tad expensive at retail, but their pre-order business model provides some SLIGHT savings...however...as someone suggested...seems like a LONG TIME before one actually has product in-hand. I'm still awaiting some dudes I preordered last July! Sadly, as much as I love these ML figures (And their upcoming lines look GREAT), I just can't see buying too many more. But I've been wrong before. ;-)

BTW, when I tried to pre-order a few of these All-Stars last week, I instantly received word from my bank of a few unauthorized charges on my card...all with exact same date/time (when I pre-ordered the MLs). My bank suggested Horseman server might be hacked. Having card replaced, and charges removed from my card...but caveat emptor.
