Wouldn't "jointless action figure" be an oxymoron? I think these are exactly what they say they are: 1/10th scale statues. I'd take good looking statues over action figures with ugly, obvious joints and poor articulation any day. That being said, there are some well-jointed action figures with good articulation out there.

I, too, think that larger scale statues look more impressive, but I also have to admit that these are quite good looking and very well done for their price range. My current, tiny apartment doesn't leave a lot of space for displaying stuff, so the 1/10th scale actually has a bit of appeal for me. I could pick up the whole team for less than the cost of a single 1/4 scale statue (or even some 1/7th or 1/6th statues, though that's also getting into the differences between resin and PVC, and I don't want to open that can of worms here). So the combination of quality, space, and price makes this a tempting line for me.

likely not right away as they're doing the core JL first of the new 52

when Shazam joins the JL line-up (in issue #15 of JL) they may make one...only Koto knows

I picked these up after I received my Batman... Er preordered rather. I know it's a different scale and all of that, but koto, in my eyes, is knocking things out of the park left and right. I think these will look great with the whole JLA. Now give me my Sabretooth... Ya jerks...

Argh.

Why can't they release 'em as ArtFx staues at 1/6 scale like the black Batman that just came out??

1/10th scale....? Really?

for the size/price, they'll make a great little display in a detolf when you have the whole line-up
