I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I can only guess that they thought the smaller size would be more accomodating to the "collect 'em all!" mentality they seem to be looking for with this line. When I see these, "giant HeroClix" come to mind, for some reason.

Their past dios haven't really been designed to display with other product - this line seems to be geared towards adding more pieces to the puzzle and arranging them however you want. It's a plus and a minus for me. Like others, it just has too much of an "action figure" vibe to me as opposed to "high end statue".

Were these even the size of the Cover Girls line or the recent animated DVD maquettes, they might be more of a slam dunk for me.

Pretty meh if you ask me.

I think my Superman Vs Darkseid and Superman Vs Wonder Woman are the only Vs pieces I need of him.

Move onto some other characters DC. Nightwing Vs Deathstroke, Aquaman Vs Black Manta etc etc...

What's all the stuff on the bases? Can't make out what they are.

Bizarro's arm isn't cocked back enough. Almost like his best shot from that position is a weak jab.

I really don't get these articulated statues. I'll just buy action figures if I want to move them at a fraction of the price.

They are ruining a great line with this "feature"

Looking at the blackest night batman bust, it gives the impression that you can move his right arm as well. I'm content with my BN bats action figure
