I'm continually amazed at how much better DC toys have always been than Marvel's offerings.
DC fans are the luckiest action figure folks hands down, with DC besting Marvel in every incarnation going back decades.
1960's Captain Action...more figures than Marvel including Action Boy as Robin
1970's Mego...more figures than Marvel in every format including Alter Egos and Teen Titans
1980's Super Powers...three times the figures of Marvel's Secret Wars. Better sculpting/paint, power-action features and mini comics? No contest.
1990's DC Direct vs. Toybiz and Marvel Select...hundreds more figures, artist specific sculpts from Carmine Infantino, Alex Ross, Curt Swan, George Perez, Jack Kirby, etc.
2000's DC Universe Classics vs. Marvel Legends...300+ figures all sculpted in the same style with consistent articulation.
2010's Mattel Retro-Action and FTC Worlds Greatest Heroes vs. the ghost of Famous Covers. Again, no contest.
