I dig these. I’m not at all familiar with the story these are based on, but as others have said, the figures have actually piqued my interest to go read it.

I completely understand the Batman fatigue, but in all honesty, he’s the character that sells. Plus, McFarlane is absolutely killing it with the overall quality of these figures. I got the White Knight Azrael figure and was seriously impressed with how awesome it is. Magnificent and unique sculpt. All the articulation you could want. Paint apps on point. I mean, it was seriously difficult to find any flaws or minor nitpicks. And that’s been the norm with all his DC stuff, at least as far as actual execution goes. His stuff is just getting better and better.

And I can’t agree that these Batman figures are killing off his other lines. I highly doubt they have any affect on the other things he makes. Pretty sure if the other lines actually sold well enough then we’d be seeing more from them. Shit, I still see GOT and Harry Potter figures on the shelves at my Target and Walmart. People just didn’t buy them in the amounts needed for them to continue. That’s most likely what will happen with the Dune figures. Can’t imagine those are going to big sellers. Different story for MK. Those seemed to have sold well. Hence why we’re still seeing new releases.

But back to these DC figures. Yeah, I’d definitely like to see a deeper roster see the light of day, but this will never be DCUC. It’s unfortunate. But I have absolutely enjoyed the figures I’ve bought so far (which is more than I initially anticipated). I guess I’m one of the suckers. I don’t know. I like them and will continue buying the stuff I like.
