They didn't stay 6" for very long at all. I remember being so frustrated that I was forced (essentially) to sell my Vixen, Donna Troy (Troia version), Elongated Man, Black Lightning (bald headed version), Martian Manhunter, and Power Girl figs as they were too large to stand next to my Legends. Beautiful figures, for sure.

This is the closest we will likely come unless Mattel pulls off a serious magic trick. Sad too, they were getting it together toward the very end. As their WWE line demonstrates, they've moved several steps forward in balancing functional articulation with appealing sculpts. They don't seem to need 4H anymore to make something cool looking, but they ran out of time to pull everything together for the DC license. I REALLY wanted that Mammoth Collect and Connect wave. The Black Canary, Hawk Girl, John Stewart, Simon Baz, and even that Aquaman (Thrones of Atlantis? I was never sure...) all looked great and, of course, Mammoth was off the chain. I still search for those protos on eBay every so often to see if I get lucky.
