We've got wishlist threads, we've got threads to discuss upcoming figures, but I haven't seen any threads to discuss the line as it is. And with the line coming to an end, mayhaps the memories.

So, what do you feel they've done right with this line, and what did they do wrong?

I think one of the things they did really right, was trying to fix mistakes they made along the way, by reissuing fan desired and rare figures. Specifically with the height corrected TRU exclusive Sinestro, and the full retail Sinestro Corps Sinestro in wave 20, as well as the entire Allstar line.

What they've done wrong I feel is to blatantly ignore major players. such as Wally West. Seriously, Barry Allen has had four or five separate releases through this line... and one of them uses an entirely different mold (Bulkier and more muscular). Would it have really been THAT hard to have made one of them Wally? All they'd really need to do to appease us is change his belt design. Sure we would all prefer a lankier, double jointed mold like corrected Sinestro, but that's not 100% nessisary.
The other downside to the line are the women. Specifically, the sculpting. I look at various females in the DC Direct lines, and I look at the amazing sculpts on the male DCUC figures, and wonder why the female DCUC figures can't be even close to that.

But overall... my complaints with this line are very few compaired to what I love about it. I'm glad that it lives on in spirit, and the mold style will carry on as well, but this has been my favorite toyline since Beast Wars, and I haven't looked so forward to new action figures since the pre Marvel Legend toybiz days.

BTW... does Iron look like Christopher Judge to anyone else?
