For a long time DC Direct thought that the Jim Lee "Hush" Batman was the perfect Batman figure, so they reissued it a bunch of times with slightly different paint schemes. And it sold every time, so I'm not sure that's what's on their minds. At least not in DC Direct or DC Collectibles' case. As for Mattel, well, they just suck, so…

I think it's probably just harder to make the ultimate figure that everyone is 100% happy with. If the face and body are perfect, someone would complain about articulation. If those 3 are perfect, someone would complain about accessories or something else. You really can't win with rabid nerds. And, I say this as one. Also, needless to say, everyone's opinions and tastes are different. Plus, dealing with comic book characters is tougher, I'd imagine, than doing movie or TV show figures, because which version do you do? Based off what artist? From what era? So, rambling aside, I think there can only be a "perfect" figure in the eyes of a single, solitary collector.
