Mattel DC Figures

I’m also considering backfilling DCUC figures that I shouldn’t have gotten rid of in the first place

I was missing new DC at one point and picked up most of the darkest night DCUC figures all the colored lanterns I had passed on originally... but now I'm right back to thinking about dumping them in anticipation of new Mattel gear.

Finally found core Batman and Robin today, and…damn.

This may be the DC line I collect, and cherry pick the collector line. Sacrilege, I know…but these are - capital Q - Quality, especially for the price.

That is very understandable. The thought has crossed my mind too. I don't have to think about the purchase at 12.99 plus tax vs $27.99 plus tax. The struggle is real.

Likewise. I tend not to pose my figures in crazy ways on the shelf, so I don't personally need a metric ton of poseability. Having nicely-sculpted figures basically just standing there is more than enough for me. And if I can get the characters I want for $12.99, then so much the better.

But honestly it'll depend on the characters. If the collector's line is the only place I can get Legion or Fourth World characters, then I'll buy those. But if I can get basically everyone else I want cheaper...? Yeah, my wallet approves.

Pretty much where I’m at. I’ll certainly take the Legion if made, but my bigger concern is the Fourth World. Well actually anything Kirby. My understanding is that the excellent New Gods title is coming back eventually. There’s also a new LSH series in the works written by Josh Williamson that should be a banger. My hope is that at least 75% of the collector line will be comic accurate.

Preach. Kirby's DC characters are my above-all-else priority in proper Kirby design goodness. The DCUC Fourth World/Kirby characters are the only figures from that line that have been on permanent display. They've never left the shelves in which they're displayed, except for dusting.

That being said, I don't mind other Fourth World designs, so I'll take them in whatever way I can, repeatedly.
 
I just want an awesome, classic Darkseid from Mattel that I can play with and that doesn’t break at the waist or pop apart.

With you on that although vintage Kirby from the 70’s would be my preference.

My overall #1 priority is the JSA. But an overarching omnibus view. All inclusive of the SSoV/7S, Freedom Fighters, All Star Squadron, Young All Stars/Allies, Infinity Inc., the Marvels/Black Marvels, the Blackhawks, the retcons, all appropriate legacy heroes, and any miscellaneous characters attached to the Golden Age that neglected to mention. As well as all of the “Lost” characters from the Stargirl limited series.

For future reference, that’s really what I mean when I say “JSA”. All members, any costume variants, etc.

Kirby is right behind that.
