Probably garbage, from what we've seen. I will wait for reviews. Thing is, I'm really going to stick with Mezco, they know what they are doing, their line is coherent. What I'm most worried about with those soap studios figures is the scale. They look smaller and narrower than Mezco figures.
I've just read Dark Knight III, sequel to The Dark Knight Returns (and Dark Knight Strikes Again but I don't know if we can count this one in, it's the most atrocious comic book I've ever read).
I liked some of it but it's globally very disappointing. The drawings are sometimes good, sometimes atrocious. The coloring is sometimes great, reminding you of the 80's, sometimes I just don't get what they did.
The thing I really enjoyed was the ending, with Carrie Kelley as Batwoman. Now that's a suit I wish Mezco would do, looks fantastic. I like that Bruce found his perfect match. The ending shot reprising the cover of TDKR with Batwoman is exactly what was needed. Imagine a collector friendly Mezco box with that artwork and Carrie Kelley's Batwoman figure. Would be so awesome.
I liked the sense of "hope" of that ending, and especially Clark's speech to his daughter, about how the sense of being human is to pass on what we've learnt. How we will cherish a particular moment knowing there won't be much time left. That was good.
A lot of the rest of the story was disappointing, not needed, but I don't know if it's really the story that bothered me or the -sometimes- terrible execution of that story. And we barely see Batman.
I did enjoy it on the whole though, I just think it could have been so much better. I did like "The Last Crusade" a lot though. Very minimalist, but good nonetheless.
Still, it's a good surprise that Frank Miller recovered from that terrible Strikes Again sequel.

Also I neeed Old Man Logan to come.
