T-crotches and no swivel biceps! Yay! Plus female figures that look like blow-up dolls. Good for parts, not much else IMO. I was hopeful, but I'm sticking with DCUC (take a look at that Cyborg and Wonder Woman for DCUC Woot.)

3 3/4" Green Arrow?

Also WIN!

Pretty good toyfair from my perspective, though I'd obviously like these to have slightly better articulation, I can live with it.

Pretty much what I expected out of Mattel. Well actually a little better since the over all sculpt isn't bad, but the articulation sucks. It's the same old BS that Mattel keeps pushing. I guess I shouldn't put them down so much since Hasbro keeps doing the same to Star Wars figures even though they'll make a few that has hip articulation that's useable. Many of those DC figures they're showing are straight out sculpted prototypes that hasn't had the articulation worked in.

I'll get a few and try and rework them. If it proves easy enough I'll get more and convert those too. Bring them into the modern age of action figure technology.

Crap, I was looking at those police figures thinking it'll be cool when they add the articulation in. I figured all I'd need to do is make their arms swivel and have a full range hip joint. Nope, Mattel decided to just drop the joints that I guess were too hard for their lack of abilities:

I may still get them if the price point isn't bad. I can do all the other joints too, it'll just take me longer to get around to it.

Whoa... I missed 3 3/4" Question down the page (since Wizard's "thumbnails" seem to be the full huge-assed pic just visually resized on the page instead of a proper thumbnail).

The GCPD guys in the three pack have the same articulation as the rest of the line. The elbows and knees are tougher to see, but they're there.

Great sculpts, right scale, TERRIBLE articulation. Typical Mattel.

What will it take to bring those guys into the 21st Century? 1978 was a REALLY long time ago guys!

Not a DC fan, but I'll be picking up a few of these for parts anyway.

Is that guy in the green and purple with the gas mask supposed to be someone? Or is he a henchman? Because his design is badass!

Hehe, someone stuck nipples on Supergirl. That one's kind of a horrible sculpt.... I guess they figured they do something to keep you from looking at the face?

Swivel biceps should be basic articulation on figures by now, sheesh!

Cool looking figures though.

Wonder Woman looks like have cut biceps and torso too..im not losing my hope yet...

Edit: they are not 3 3/4...

Well all I could load was three immages (WW, Gordon, and the one with black adam and original fash) and I have to say I like them, not perfect by any stretch but they look good enough to own for me.

Wow! Those are some crappy looking figures

I really hope the finished figures look better than these prototypes.

Will be picking up a few. Probably not all, but still some nice characters there. As long as they're not $7-8 a piece.

Most of the sculpts look great.

If they all wind up with wonder womens articulation I'll pick alot of them up. Some of those future cop/henchmen designs are awesome.
