These figures are okay. They're not terrible, but they're not incredible either. After seeing what Mattel did in recent years, this could be a nice change. But some of the figures just look off to me. Superman's limbs seem a bit too long, the S shield seems too wide over the chest, and I would've preferred the classic suit instead of the Action Comics #1000 suit with the bands or whatever around the sleeve ends. Seeing no Wonder Woman is particularly disappointing, since she's DC's most popular female hero and part of the Big Three from Justice League. And what is with the "derp" face they gave Harley Quinn? Also, why did this Multiverse line's figures have to be 7 inches in height? I'd prefer to see them at the 6-inch height to be compatible with the Star Wars, Marvel and Power Rangers figures on shelves. Though unfortunately for Power Rangers, they are having a heck of a time with quality control, paint app problems, bad Ranger helmet and civilian head sculpts, and unpainted helmet mouths with their "Lightning Collection" series, and I can speak from experience with collecting those. I wouldn't want to see McFarlane Toys have the same quality control problems by making toys of Superman with different shades of blue painted all over his suit or a Batman figure with the eye lenses and trunks unpainted, would you?

I'm going to keep an open mind and see what the second wave has in store. Figures of Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Joker, comics Green Lantern, The CW TV series Flash, classic Superman, Christopher Reeve Superman, Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, John Wesley Shipp Flash, and any of the 1989-1997 Batman movies' characters would all be awesome to see made. I wish McFarlane Toys well over the next three years. But I'm going to wait until Toy Fair to see what McFarlane Toys has got planned for the long haul before I decide to pick up one of their figures.
