And basically through every idea they had for the last half of DCIH. THAT was worse than anything. That ruined good toys worse than GL or this new Batman line.

Basically, like I said, if they shrank the DCUC style articulation down to IH scale, that would top MU completely.
Nice customs, though this is an inappropriate thread for them. Put them in the custom section and you'll have a more appropriate place to show them off.

Actually they use the same type of plastic at both companies. If they went w/ harder plastics like you suggest then it is going to be more brittle. Trust me I've got some experience w/ molding, and casting. The harder the plastic the more likely it is to snap. The softer plastic that they use is more conducive to not only customizers, but also their figures passing the drop test.

The articulation towards the end of DCUIH if nothing else than in terms of mobility was a great improvement. Do I like the ball joint hips? No. Do I like that Superman looks more like LoSH Superboy? No. Were the figures able to be put in much better poses? Yes.

Is DCUIH scale the best scale? No. It is only 3.75" scale or 1:20. Now look at Supes, and Hawkman. The figures are so out of proportion it is really sad Hawkman is the same height as Superman, but the figure is almost 1/2 a head shorter. The average man is 6' tall so the average figure in a 1:18 scale line should be 4" tall.

I only posted pics of my customs to show how good the DC characters would look, and pose if Mattel actually tried to make a good line at this scale.
