I just can't get in to the McFarlane line (or their other recent lines, really)- besides the issues with figures based on real people, they seem unwilling to make any figures from DC source material that is pre-year-2000, with a few very rare exceptions- yet they will go all-out on what will likely be a slightly-improved version of a poorly-received film. I'd buy figures like Teen Titans Cyborg and JLU Green Lantern if I thought they would ever give us full casts from those shows, which seems very unlikely; meanwhile, we get all of the Snyder League, plus Staplewolff, and regular and Starvin' Marvin versions of Darkseid from a single recent film. Heaven forbid we get, say, some nice Silver Age or Bronze Age comic versions of characters... Meanwhile, the Spin Master line is a lot of fun, for only $7.99 a figure.

I don't know about top notch figures 20 years ago. These particular faces yes. The bodies not so much.
Also Mcfarlane not doing figures pre2000. Well yeah that was 20+ years ago. It makes sense that DC would want Mcfarlane to do something current. And if they are doing all the current stuff now, they will probably have to go back in time sooner then later.

It's silly to think they aren't going to capitalize on peoples minds now. Not every wave is going to be for every fan especially when some of those fans weren't around/active for those properties 20+ years ago.


Now back to the faces. Looking at the JS Green Lantern. Mcfarlane can clearly make good realistic looking faces. So this isn't an issue of technology. Mcfarlane has within their means to make better faces.
