I think those hurt the figures far more than them not having double jointed knees and elbows. It's a real shame because I'm not sure if I should even keep them anymore despite them probably being the only time we will ever get Kirby-based New Gods. I don't have a place for them and with how out of place they look these days, I'm not sure I would even want to display them.

It's a real shame Mattel was too stubborn to update their figures the same way Hasbro does.

Yeah, never was much of a DC guy, but I have wanted to do a Batman/rogues' gallery shelf for some time. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find any line that isn't either out of scale with or incredibly inferior to Legends. Granted, I'm not very knowledgeable on most of the DC lines that have come out over the years, but at a glance, nothing fits the bill.

Perhaps I'd be best off not bothering to match the Legends aesthetic and just tracking down some old school TAS figures.
