So far the Batman figures have been different molds, I just get the ones that look good. I collect GI Joe Classified, Marvel Legends, Transformers, Spawn, Mortal Kombat, DC Direct, and DC Multiverse as well as the predecessor runs DC Universe and DC Superheroes.

I'm a diorama builder, so a big part of my reasoning behind that rule is "could I build one large diorama that the entire collection could be housed in together (breaking immersion of course for arctic/etc. figures)". If I have four Wolverines, Snake Eyes, or Spideys, it just doesn't work. I pretty much settle on whatever look I feel is definitive and keep it at that one. The AC Snake Eyes, for example, is that figure. They're really going to have to go above and beyond for me to ever buy another Classified SE. The same could be said for Storm Shadow, I got the wave out of Canada, and he's perfect, IMHO.

My Cobra Commander on the other hand is just a place holder. They can't revisit him soon enough. I may eat my words here, but I'm 90% sure whatever they do with him next will be a must-buy, and my Snake Supreme will be given away.
