I realize that this is mainly a matter of demographics, but I haven't dropped a dime on anything post-New 52 (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions). I might be speaking for a sizeable contingent of fans who grew up with the Golden, Silver and Bronze age of comics who hope for representative figures from each period: favorite characters, favorite costumes, favorite artistic stylization. I know DC Direct did this very thing to some extent, but I just think NECA could do much better. Rgds

I'm not sure NECA has any real interest in doing comic-based heroes even if they were allowed to. So far the only non-movie/game based hero they've done is the quarter scale Deadpool but he's Deadpool and it's a great time to capitalize on his popularity.

What do you specifically mean about the ab crunch? Aesthetically speaking most of their figures do very well to hide the torso articulation.
