As do I. The Mattel version suffered from lack of bendy head tail and the fact that Saint Walker was about twice as bulky as he should have been. The DC Direct version on the other hand suffered from the weird grimace face.

While I was originally all-in on the idea of the Icons figures, after buying these Crime Syndicate DCC's, I really can't get with the ab crunch and torso design on the Icons anymore. I'm sure it's already been asked, but I don't understand why they didn't just utilize these same bases for the Icons lineup.

Probably because Mattel just cannot seem to decide what they want to do with their DC lines. I never really understood a lot of their choices and some of the sculpts were horrendous. A LOT of the DC characters from Mattel and DCD/DCC suffer from the grimace face I mentioned above. Great body sculpts were completely ruined by horrible head sculpts.
