Will these versions of Flash's rogues sell better than say, Rebirth versions? I know some people like them better, but I would think that way more people would pick these up if they felt like they continued a common theme or style, as opposed to the constant hodgepodge of designs from every corner of DC. This is what almost every other line does, anyways.

Todd does what Todd likes! His company, 100%. His rules. Todd will either continue this way with the line and have it be sucessful..Or he will continue this way with the line and have it fail and DC will move the license onto some shit toy company that couldn't lick the plastic balls of any of Todd's figures. But in the end he will move on and still have a company. Till the day he dies.

As another toy industry head said once, DC stuff doesn't make shit for money in the toy isles. This was before Mcfarlane toys was even a rumor. Sounds like (at the moment) DC is fairing better with McFarlane's company than any before it. So you can say you won't support it. And that is your right as a consumer. But you will never get another company like his to produce like he does. Don't like the paint jobs..ok. But I hear the same people say this and then complain about a well produced,painted,articlated figure at a higher cost. Saying things like "im interested but not at that price"
As they say, some people will never be happy.

I post rants like this alot becuase I always hear the same complaints. But yet he's been in business and outlasted alot of other companies. Am I a fan of everything he does..nope. But I recognize value.

It just will be what it is..we can only hope for what we want. While reality will be on the peg wether you buy it or not.
