[Designincase]

I don't feel like the WB is that protective over licensing the figure. Promote Batman and collect that licensing check. It's a philosophy that carries over into their animation and film division.

Todd Mcfarlane doesn't make these figures. He's not the one digitally sculpting all these figures. His name is on the box but he's not the artist. But he is the final say on what designs go into production.


Sculpt wise - Mcfarlane(the company) does well with bodies. Many of the faces should never have passed prototyping much less hit the 3D printers.
I think they get game models which is why a lot of them look 1 to 1. But original stuff is hit or miss. They've made some great og faces(John Stewart) but then it's like no one gets Batman wear a cowl on top of a human head. Then likeness to real people.............

Articulation - They've been converting statues into figures. They have not being designing figures with the articulation cuts in mind.

They refuse to address the torso and the aesthetics of the joints. Their articulation system needs a total revamp.

The the anti consumer release practices with the variant heads.


For the price point it's a decent figure. With some simple tweaks it could be a great figure. With a little bit of work now, it could be a definitive one.
