the quality looks fine to me. they even have the angular style of the show.I tried to get into the Mattel JLU stuff early on, but the quality was just too low for me to get into them.

plus, they've made way more characters than kenner ever did. i just got the New Batman Adventures Scarecrow. it's amazing.
i just found that pic on google. all of my figures are on peg stands, so i don't get the leg problems.I'm mostly talking about the common complaint of the figures not being able to stand. Your Scarecrow there looks like he's pulling a Michael Jackson from Moonwalker.
meh. fair, or not, Mattel has really gone the extra mile to cover as many characters as possible.I'm not impressed with the character selection when most of them have painted on details. And I don't think that's a fair argument in the first place, since Kenner/Hasbro didn't hold the license when the JL toon debuted. But they definitely could have put more effort into releasing more guest stars from the Superman show.
But I read all the time in Toyfare back then that they'd have to pay to license every non-Superman related character that guest starred if they wanted to make them.
Kenner/Hasbro just didn't bother to make some characters they had licenses for because they thought neon-colored missile-firing Batman figures would sell better.
such as most of the New Batman Adventures rehashed characters. including that Scarecrow i posted.Such as?
that is good advice. i will count them and report back. i bet i have at least 50.Oh, and count your lucky stars that your figures stand and work with those, cause from what I've read you're definitely in the minority.
i kinda doubt anyone on here really knows about the back room politics that go on at WB when it comes to character licensing.Does anyone know why we never got a JLU Kord Blue Beetle figure? Though I recall there being some license issue that kept him out of the JLU cartoons, Mattel obviously is able to release him as a toy, since we have the DCUC version.

also, no Bullock, or most of the major reoccurring non-hero characters. and none of the single-episode villains.
Mattel has made several characters who had less than 10 seconds of screen time. and plenty of single-episode heroes/villains. so far, i'm impressed.
well, that's how a lot of characters are drawn in the show, so i don't see any problem there.While I'll give you that they could have done a better job of releasing more of the redesigned characters from TNBA, It was probably a little more difficult since they actually did entire individual sculpts back then, and didn't just paint costumes and details on the same 3 bodies.
this is my response to that.Hawkman with a painted harness? I'll take quality over quantity anyday.
There's a possibility that he might get made now that this line is a Target exclusive aimed at fans. Recently Mattel has been releasing quite a few characters who weren't on the show. They've released a Batman painted like his 70s comic appearances and have a Superman red/blue from some story from the 50s in the works, along with an Aquaman in his orange costume. Oh, and they're also releasing Crime Syndicate figures.and i'm guessing there was no Kord figure because he wasn't in the show.
damn. these things are getting hard to keep up with. are there pics up anywhere yet?There's a possibility that he might get made now that this line is a Target exclusive aimed at fans.
