- McFarlane will take over some areas that DC Collectibles held, including Statues and Busts.

My biggest concern is the new figures matching up, aesthetically, with the DCUC/Multiverse stuff, because people already have HUGE collections of those figures, and are more interested in adding to it, rather than starting their collections from scratch.

If it manages that, and at bare minimum matches the Mattel levels of articulation (hoping for Legends-level, but not holding my breath), then this could turn out great. McFarlane is a company I could see doing more off-beat characters that haven't gotten figures yet. I'm going to take the 'wait and see' approach and, until then, grab the Mattel figures that are slated for release.

(The biggest bummer, of course, is that Mattel is just now getting back into the swing of making better DC figures, both in terms of construction/articulation, and character selection, but it is what it is, I suppose)
