Anyone else really disappointed in Mattel's DC ToyFair offerings?
Looks like the Golden Age of DC product at retail is over. The DKR figures look nice, and the Young Justice figures are okay, but the 6" comic-based offerings are kind of "meh" to me. Jay Garrick and Poison Ivy are very nice looking, but that's about all of the club figures I'm interested in.
Oh well, more money for vintage stuff and Hot Toys!

Platnium and Tin look Fantastic.
Witha a little Luck ..., Lead should come as an Oversized figure later this year.

The DCU club figures look to me. I'll probably get some of the All Star figures, Lar Fleeze for sure. Looking forward to Jay Garrick to better fill out the JSA, looking forward to Tin and Platinum. I'm not a big New Gods fan, but Metron looks cool to me. Mirror Master looks cool, too.
Not big on the movie-type figures, unless they are made by Hot Toys. I skipped on buying the Young Justice figures.
And I looking forward to closing out the JLU figures in the fall. Got most of the rest. Might as well get these.
That's certainly enough to keep me poor.
Some of the new Marvel Legends figures look cool. Nighthawk stands out to me.

I really like the look of those DCUC figures but I don't want to join the club....

Retro Action returns, or Mattel won't get a dime out of me.

I am very disappointed not just with Mattel offering of DC Universe offerings but with other company's as well. Sideshow collectibles had acquired the rights to make 1:6 scale DC figures and I was expecting to see what they would be offering... DC Direct same... No Deluxe 1:6 scale figures... Only statues, props and those "52" almost non articulated figures... Last but not least I had a hope (the size of a thin hair), that Mattel would be announcing a DC Retro Action "The Last Wave" MattyCollector exclusive including Robin, Joker, a heroine, and Hawkman.
Too obsessed to turn back
I'm curious. Is anyone picking up any of the "new 52" figures out there or is this release perceived as a turn off?
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

^ I have no desire for any of the New 52 figures...I hate those costumes....

I have no interest in them. I like my "Classics"...classic.
