Looking past the quality control issues I think the popularity of these figures is the Four Horsemen sculpting, Mattel's committment to the line and the cheaper price point than Marvel Legends. Considering that we've had at least 4 Waves of DC figures this past year with awesome articulation versus the step back we got with ML and the 1.5 waves that Hasbro put out this past year The Brood Queen wave? Seriously? I had to go online to get Marvel Girl and the Target set (I've got 3 in my county), never saw them once at my stores I shop at. I'll probably see the Brodo Queen wave at TJ Maxx in two years.
