While I like seeing some very obscure characters choices right off the bat, I am very displeased at the price point of these at any retailer but Target. Add into that the limited availability of anything remotely new, and it's a big disappointment.

The colors are vibrant (as AV pointed out) and the facial sculpts are not bad, and I can even live with the generic bodies as a cost cutting measure, but the posability and styling is a joke. I have all the figures up to date from back in October, but until the newer more articualted sculpts hit next year I'm going to hold off buying any more.

I very much want this line to succeed, so I hope Mattel does take the criticisms to heart.
