Lol! I hate to add further fuel to the fire, as we are mostly all incensed at Mattel right now, but frankly, I have felt that way through the entirety of this series.
I absolutely LOVED Mattel's pre-DCUC Superman series, and Steel, both Supergirls, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, and Mongul are still among some of my favorite figures of the past decade. They have great sculpts and seem to be of a much higher quality, overall, than any of the figures that followed.
Initially, my confidence in Mattel was shaken when the final wave of this series (the one with Steel and modern Supergirl) practically became a discount store exclusive. I grabbed Supergirl and Steel at Wal-Mart, never saw that wave again for months, and then began spotting them, in large numbers, at local Ross stores.
I shrugged off that irritation, as I was excited about the upcoming DCUC line.
Unfortunately, for me, that line was a series of disappointments.
The quality control was so horrible, that I lost interest in this series after about wave 7.
I can forgive distribution problems and questionable character choices, but QC is always a deal-breaker for me. I got sick of finding hard to find figures, especially variants, and having to either return or repair them due to breakage. Beginning with wave 8, I stopped caring about being a completionist, lost interest in completing the BAFs, and chose to buy only characters that I really liked.
My experience as a collector of this line was full of a lot of highs and lot of lows. I truly empathize with you guys who were members of the subscription program, putting up with all that you had to endure.
Even with the problems with this series, I really do like the figures that I have, and I don't plan on getting rid of them any time soon, but I certainly won't be looking back at this line with fond memories, lol !
