I absolutely agree. I apologize for repeating myself, but here is how I feel about these, basically copied and pasted from the "look what I passed up" thread:

"This line would have made a great supplemental series alongside the DCU line, but I think that many of us just feel as if Mattel is moving backwards in regard to design and quality. Honestly, these figures truly don't deserve a lot of the criticism being thrown their way, but I think most people are lashing out due to anger at Mattel's poor treatment, and resultant cancellation of the DCU line. These perfectly adequate figures have become a scapegoat, largely because they have, in a sense, replaced a very popular line that many feel was greatly mismanaged. "

Whether or not Mattel actually intended for this line to be a replacement for the DCU series, that's how many collectors are perceiving these. That's just my two cents though. LOL, I'm honestly not big enough of a DC fan to warrant having put this much thought and concern into the topic
