Thats FARRR from all in though. I don't like or want MOST of this DC line.

Yeah, I was ribbing you about 'all in'. Todd should just rekindle Spawn IMHO. While some of these Metals look quite interesting, they feel like momentary cash-ins on what will most likely be a fleeting fancy.

I look at some of these sculpts and I see great detail (a little inconsistent from fig to fig, but not so much so to be jarring) on not-so-inspired character designs. That's not MacFarlane's fault, that's a DC thing. That said, the "what if Batman was reimagined as everyone" motif, while in keeping with how Macfarlane handled many of Spawn's iterations (Feudal Japan Spawn, Viking Spawn, Mandarin Spawn, etc), isn't exactly what I was hoping for in a DC license.

But, hey, this line is more about a celebration of Macfarlane's return to consistent fig-wares than anything else. I can't imagine most diehard fans caring about things "making sense" or heading in a wider DC fanservice direction as long as the end product looks reasonably cool, which is the case so far with the line.

I haven't seen anything yet that I want to add to my collection, but maybe that will change.
