Sometimes when I do pictures for comics or something, but I really don't care if the scale is off since they are two different lines. I've never understood that argument either. I get it if you want a Spider-Man and Sandman that scale properly, but Superman and Spider-Man do not have to be in scale with each other.

Hell, everyone keeps comparing the Icons scale with Marvel Legends, but they never seem to care that the Figuarts don't scale with Marvel Legends. In fact, the DC Icons scaled quite well with Figuarts.

I'd like it if these new DC Essentials had a few accessories, but I usually just pop on one set of hands and seldom swap them out. I would prefer it if they came with weapons and effects pieces over a dozen slightly different hands.

I constantly change up the way I have a figure displayed on my shelf, so I like options. Plus, I like to do multiple pictures with my figures. As such, I want different hands for different actions. Furthermore, Flash is a character that runs, it should be a given that he should come with fighting and running hands, especially when they couldn't even be bothered to actually give him any sort of effect or accessory to begin with.

Even if I liked that Deathstroke design, which I just really really don't, I can't imagine being excited for this figure given all he has are the sword and a pistol he apparently can't even hold.

I don't care for that Deathstroke either. He looks cheap, Mattel cheap. I expect a figure that looks like that to be part of Mattel's $12 kids line, just without all of the articulation.

Also, what is up with seeing the ab crunch bolt on the sides of Batman's body? It makes it look like he just got shot.

ANyway, I was planning to give this line a shot by picking up Flash and RF, but I think I'll just wait for them to be discounted on Amazon and pick them up when they're around $15. Of course, that's provided the line hasn't been canceled by then as I have no faith that Essentials is even going to make it past 2019. It's just a shame that my poor Icons Flash is lonely as he will never have a villain to fight.
