      That Bizarro & Flash look Pretty darn good Close up ....
      The "All over the Place" with the Bat line is a bit confusing to me...
      Robin
      NightWing
      Batgirl
      & CatWoman are all pretty much from Different Time Periods in the DCU ... Everyone else for the Most part,.. Kinda Fit right in though...

        i wanted to get some of these. my favorite characters like GA, GL, Robin and Nightwing, but i just can't justify the price. But if they come out with other Teen Titans i will break down and buy.

          I love the 13 inch figures, but due to the high price, I am unable to open any.
          Thanks to the window box, I can enjoy them without opening them.

          Unfortunately when you pay over $50 for a figure, it becomes more of a
          commodity than a toy, taking away much of the emotional attachment.

            They do look great, but like Paul said, at that price they arent toys!

            I like to buy stuff I can bust open and play with, not throw in a box somewhere.

              They are nice looking dolls but the style and scale are even further from Mego's WGSH than Famous Covers and the DC 9 inch figures were. So they don't really fill that void to me.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                Ditto, the price is just way too high, and the size is not great for display space. They are fantastic looking figures, but I was in FAO in NY last weekend and the Joker, Bizarro, and Supes were on clearance and still over $50 each. I have seen some sell on ebay in the $35 range but with shipping you're still talking $45-$50 each. I just don't see them holding the original retail value either. The Bizarro looks extremely cool. Would love to see this line in an 8 inch scale and price range. At least the heads aren't undersized like the Famous Covers stuff and they didn't do characters like Superman Blue the way Hasbro did. Can't wait to see someone get this line done right.
                It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  I have enjoyed many in that line. Still looking to get me some more. Here's my group thus far...

                    I wouldn't say mine have filled a void, but I do love them and think they are about the closest you could get to an adult-sized Mego.

                      I love the ones I have, but the aesthetic is very different from Megos, so I don't really consider them in the same league.

                        I like the line a lot on it'd own merrit. They have some really nice looking ones coming. I do have Batman, Batgirl, Robin and Nightwing.

                        I have Shazam, Aquaman, Luthor and Two-Face for sale if anyone is interested.

                          I rather enjoy the 13 inchers. Although I have sold several of them, one to a member here. I currently have Batman (black and grey version), Captain Marvel, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern (1st version). I sold classic Superman, Luthor, Nightwing, and classic Batman. I may pick up Nightwing again if I can find him for a decent price. I have had good luck on ebay and at local conventions. I like the concept of the DC movie figures. Hopefully they will do a Christopher Reeves version of Superman. But if Hot Toys makes one, there is no competition. Sorry DC Direct.

                            12 inch is PlayScale -- not 13...

                            My 12" Megos look fantastic standing on a shelf. They fit with GI Joe, Captain Action, Johnny West, and any other PlayScale figure you want to mention. A 13" DCD figure doesn't fit in.

                            60's Child... Very nice....
