Sorry, but I consider character selection an important aspect of a line and Todd has failed immensely in that area. Not to mention making people buy two figures for an unmasked head rather than just putting the alternate head in the package is a dirty tactic. And then the lack of proper weapons is another. If the character's main arsenal are guns, the figures should include guns. Like all three of their new Jokers do not include a single gun. How the fuck are you going to do a Killing Joke Joker and not include his signature pistol that he used to shoot Barbara with????? Lastly, has he done ANY classic designs for characters beyond Superman, Batman, and Joker? Every figure I've seen seems to encompass a more modern look. Look at Etrigan. I would want him in his red outfit with the blue cape, not having him wear a suit of armor.

Mattel may have messed up a lot of aspects, and their figures are horribly outdated, but at least they gave us classic designs.

BTW, Marvel Legends runs circles around DC Multiverse.
