I think it is hard to compete with what Mattel did at this point. They held the license for so long and put out some fantastic action figures. Maybe McFarlane Toys will overtake them one day, or maybe DC Direct does something seriously epic. For me though… Mattel.
@ashleywilbanks Both Kenner eras will always have a special hold on me, but I concur about Mattel, as the character variety across their lines was absolutely fantastic, and they had the best sculptors in the industry, The Four Horsemen, provide outstanding work on most of their collector-based output. Their Zipline Batman from 2003 is still one of the best designed Batman figures of all time.
@capo-mage, sorry for the delay in response, but @ashleywilbanks is correct in that you’d vote for Mattel when it comes to DCUC. If you had figures from say, Total Justice and you wanted to lend support to that line, you’d then vote for Kenner/Hasbro.
Not a problem. I operate at weird hours b/c my sleep schedule flips. So I completely understand not being available 24/7. Plus that whole life thing gets in the way lol.
Lego was on my mind, but I ultimately chose to include action figure and figural based (hence the inclusion of die-cast items) product, and not Lego which is typically dependent on a vehicle or playset of some kind first, and it’s included figures second.
