The stuff about the inconsistent releases is really DC Collectibles which is a different company than Mattel.

As for what was shown, I'm interested and willing to pick up a couple of figures but I wouldn't say that I'm ready to start preordering Multiverse waves. Sculpt and articulation are very important to me. Figures that were using newer bodies such as Batman Beyond looked really nice but the figures that used the old, buff upper body like GL look dated to me. And all of the figures NEED double jointed elbows. I was glad to hear that they're including more ankle articulation but I want it to be the ankle pivot that comes on most figures these days rather than what Mattel used on figures years ago.

Personally, I'm never going to go deep with a DC toy line. I did that with DCUC and realized when it was over that I had a collection that I didn't care that much for. It felt dated due to the Return of Marvel Legends and I had no real connection or love for many of the characters in my collection. I'm a Batman fan and will happily build his rouges gallery and buy many different versions of him and the Bat Family. But beyond that, I'll only every buy a few heroes and their enemies. That's part of the appeal of DC Essentials to me since it's built around a hero and corresponding villain being wave mates.
