Hasbro and Mattel are much larger companies than McFarlane Toys, and both ML and DCUC make/made re-use of existing tooling on a much larger scale and much more consistently.

Is the average consumer even aware of who those last four are, apart from perhaps some hazy memories of the Justice League cartoons and maybe Batman: The Brave and the Bold?

Super Woman was an odd character choice, but while I don't recall seeing it "out in the wild" very often, it is gone. How many wouldn't go back in time to pick up a few of that one for customizing? I would.

But (movie) Catwoman and Cyclone, were just very blah, like minimal effort went into the colors and design. Very drab. I didn't even know who Cyclone was.

Guarantee you that if Cyclone had looked like this, she wouldn't have peg-warmed so hard.
