I really love all the DC lines from Figures. Sooner or later I usually buy most of the toys. (And I have all my original Megos.)
That said...does it ever seem like Figures kind of goes with their own personal preferences rather than the stuff people ask for?
I mean, it's cool to get some of the choices they've made...Outsiders, Swamp Thing and so on...but what confuses me is that there's an evident demand for the Justice Society (and my personal preference for more villains) and yet, despite most of the JSA being easy to make with existing parts - which some of us have done - and being variants in some cases of the big heroes (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) there seems to be little interest.
This confuses me, as does making Ma and Pa Kent as opposed to Parasite, Terra Man, Zardoz, Master Jailer, Doomsday, Prankster, Toyman, etc in the Superman line...Pa Kent hangs on the hooks at clearance in the local toy shop and I heard a kid the other day ask who'd want an "old guy" figure.
Just seems like they make some confusing choices.
