But, with the popularity of Mattel's generic Batman line and Hasbro's Marvel Super Hero Mashers line, I guess that there's a market for these. Lol, I don't get the appeal of ANY of those aforementioned figure lines, but I'm sure that I've posted pics of plenty of purchases that have made other Arkers ask "what was he thinking ?"

I'm not really too sure why everyone is hating on these? Is it only because of the articulation? If so, man have we as collectors become spoiled, because these are not really all that bad. They're definitely better than the Target Exclusive Justice League figures.

I kinda dig the stylized look of the characters, and I think the packaging on these is really awesome, they're perfect for a nice wall display. These figs remind me a lot of the Toybiz superhero figs of the late 90's, not quite Marvel Legends, but not 1970's Kenner figures either. They're miles ahead of the atrocious movie Batman and Superman figures we got last year.

And holy crap...that Batman actually comes with a grapnel gun, and not one...but TWO batarangs!!!
