Y'know, just looking at my DCUC shelf makes me realize why (in my opinion at least, I'm not lookin' to start an argument, haha)the DC Universe Classics line is a lot better than Marvel Legends. Sure, there've been some minor missteps (and a few big'uns) but I have a shelf where guys like Mantis and Uncle Sam can hang out with the likes of Joker and Firestorm, and they all look like they belong together, thanks to the Four Horsemen's consistent awesome work on the line. But when I look at my ML shelf, I see a lot of different artistic styles, figures with tons of detail (Face off Cap) mixed with minimally detailed figures (Bucky Cap) and some really poor body type choices (that Bullseye body mold needs to be burned), with some crazy points of articulation (I'm in favor of swappable hands over jointed fingers any day of the week). So to Mattel, I offer my thanks! Even though they may have bungled it towards the end, they put out the greatest selection of cast members from DC comics in plastic form that the world has ever seen.
