Manga Spawn looks nice

I appreciate the Page Puncher Batman variant being drastically different but not essential.

Owlman looks very good. With Ultraman, nothing against the figure but I liked the Rebirth design better. Also Ultra has the weird hair and heat eyes(which in contrast to Jon Kent, makes sense).

I like the Rebirth Owlman design but the current one works as well. Also I get niteowl vibes. I'm sure someone will make a Niteowl 2 custom.

Bad
Some of these figures are still annoying

Superman Lex Luthor should have been what we got the first go around. The Throne and Darkseid head were just a page. Or they could have given us an alternate head with a removable cape in addition and made it a deluxe priced figure.

With Dark Detective, give us a pair of alternates arms or engineer a removable sleeve.

These variants are just silly in today's market.
Yes you don't have to buy but the company can also just not make these choices. There are other ways to make money off the same mold.


Ugly?

Page Puncher Batman I'd need to see in person. So a poster said it looked like someone took a sharpie to it. Well it's supposed to be a lineart variant. Not a b/w cell shaded. Which means it should look jagged and kinda raw.

I guess the question is if there is audience for it.
I think this is very much personal preference. Some people may think this is a poor attempt at cell shading while others will recognize what it's trying to imitate.

But does it mean the execution is being done well?
I feel like it is but I find it sorta ugly. But I'd rather have something like this then a variant with a different head.

Going by the Bermejo cover it comes with it, looks like they're trying to replicate that look. The lineart gimmick tends to not look very good on figures anyway. But without the usual feathering and crosshatching glyphs that those decos typically incorporate, its looking like a sloppy mess of ugly globs in this case. Couldn't they just have left it white and given him a cool name like they did with pilot spawn back in the day lol?
