Looking at my growing WGSH collection, I'm amazed at the difference between figures such as Captain America and Thor.
Cap has a very poor headsculpt, inaccurate outfit, no gloves, wrong boots, etc.
Thor gets custom boots exclusive to only him, chrome plated helmet, realistic headsculpt and is just dead-on accurate.
Why did Mego skimp on one figure, yet go all-out on another? They used the correct Cap boots on other figures like the Andorian. Why did the Marvel heroes get molded plastic gloves while DC was stuck with the oven mitts?
Once they started using the molded gloves there's no reason the couldn't make them in blue and green for Batman and Aquaman. They improved bodies across all their lines when they went from type 1 to type 2, but they never improved any figure's outfits even when advances were made.
