Everything is generic looking, except maybe the armored Batman & Superman figures, which look cool, but it's strange to use them to kick off your new DC line. Makes more sense to start with the basics.

Glad I'm not a DC guy. I'll stick with Hasbro & Marvel Legends, thanks.

I'm sorta not following. Look at the pictures to the side. They are adapting the comic
and animated designs which is why proportions are off. Hasbro Legends/lightning Collection lines use the same bodies. So it's a little funny to call these out for being generic looking when Hasbro generally uses the same male bodies but with different paint apps. Comparing paint apps I think Hasbro tends to be about as sloppy.

Not really following the generic looking either though. That's what Superman and Batman look like.


I think they look good. Id be very interested in grabbing that Action Comics Superman.

Now here's my primary concern. So the torso's look like they would have great articulation if the abs section wasn't blocking the rotation. Based on the shadows there may actually be room.

To me I think the articulation will still be better with the Hasbro figures but I can't say Marvel Legends is much better then this with the generic body builds and paint apps.

I do wish they hadn't molded the capes or at least made them detachable. Limits what you can do.

Also I gotta compare to Mattel. Those figures looked like Hasbro's $10 figures.

But yeah. AC Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow I'm interested in.
The armored forms I would need to see a review because those look like statues in terms of articulation.

The animated forms are a little rough with the heads. Heck you can see Batman's mask have a scar on the face. Like I said I wish the capes detached.

STAS Superman is rougher. Yeah he's got some mini mullet going on in the back. Looks like the took the Justice League Season 1 design which had this much larger torso. Yeah his legs look super small here. I think they could have been less extreme.
