for me, i'd rather own 1 great figure that costs $45 than 2 mediocre/poor (comparatively) that cost $20 each.

i think the upcoming DC movie figures look great.. i'm still going with mafex for at least the regular and armored batman figures. but i'm really interested to see what that lane has in store for the future. i'd love to see them stretch it across several movies, maybe finally give us a burton era batmobile.. i mean, the possibilities are endless. it's about time a north american company has produced something on par with what japan has been doing for a long time now.

i initially wanted the mattel figures, but after seeing them in person, and comparing them to the other options out there.. i just can't bring myself to get any of them. they're definitely more children toy than collectible (to my eyes anyways).. and i think the sculpts, paint, articulation, and price are an indication of that.

i'm not saying that they're terrible figures, i'm just saying that they're not for me. they're not something that, in 5 years i'm going to look back and think "man, i'm glad i grabbed those". even the dark knight movie masters don't really hold up anymore.

the only movie masters figure that i look back and wish i had gotten was the fear toxin batman.. but i never actually saw one in stores. and i have no interest in buying one now. i wish the hot toys version was more accurate to the way he looked in the movie.
