ugliest DC Direct figures

[Airdave817]

I think the Tim Sale figures are ugly. I've not yet read any of the Loeb - Sale works. I've heard that they are difinitive works for Superman, Batman, Spider-man, The Hulk and Dardevil. Somehow I missed them.

I like the Superman-Batman figures. My wife saw the Wonder Woman figure and thought it was the ugliest thing she'd every seen on the face of the earth.

The New Froniter figures are quirky.

What's funny is that I've never seen that McGuiness Lex before and now I kind of want one for the humor value.

The Supergirl and Black Canary ones he mentioned are definitely on my list. The winner for me? The battle armor Luthor. Took the sleek, cool armor and turned it into something you'd find in a box of Mega Bloks. Plus, the head, well...

Yeah, the McGuinness hero figures are somewhat acceptable as huge Bulky characters, I mean it's not the first time they've been done this way but this thing ties the Toybiz Lex Luthor as worst face/body combination.

I love my Turner Supergirl Statue,.. It's just the Figures that suck. I'm telling ya, it was the sculptor,... he dropped the ball.

Agreed! The Statue was GREAT...I just couldn't afford it.

^ My comic store has his Identity Crisis figures (Black Canary, Dr. Light, Boomernag Jr) marked down to $3.50 and no one is buying them! Even at that cheap price I still can't pull the trigger on crap....

The Turner ones I've seen warming the pegs of my LCS are just as ugly as the source art.

Those weren't DC Direct though....

Dang I missed that...apologies...(makes sense
now why they weren't mentioned right away!)

Putting all ugliness aside, I am however foaming at the bit to get this 2-Pack from DC Direct next month! It's definitely a must have for me.

You said it. That is one sweet set right there. DCD does some ugly stuff, and they are too expensive, but I still buy just about every Joker they release because they usually look great. However, they are releasing some sort of Joker staff/cane type thing this summer that I'm going to have to pass on--it's gonna cost $300.

Turner and Sales art DOES NOT translate well to figures. I'm not a big fan of either's art, personally, but I respect their work. But those figures are just hideous.

Totally agree....I have the Identity Crisis Zatanna (based on Turner's art) just to round out my classic JLA line-up and it's a horrible figure in comparision to the top-hat Zatanna that was released a few years prior.
A shame too because I really liked that George Perez costume she wore for a while.

The McGuinness ones all look like the same body pose with a different head....too bulked up IMO.

[The Toyroom]

Hey---has anyone mentioned those TOTAL JUSTICE/JLA figures with
the lack of articulation and other horrid attributes---I think those really
take the cake for being ugly

Those weren't DC Direct though....

The McGuinness stuff looks too much like Tom of Finland pinup artwork.

Hmmm, no wonder I like it!

The McGuinness stuff looks too much like Tom of Finland pinup artwork. That Turner Supergirl is probably the worst Supergirl rendition I've ever seen... it's not even bad enough to be funny. It's just horrendous.

I thought it was one of the Olsen twins myself.

Hank---as clunky as that LEX figure looks to me (I'm unfamilliar with
the comic art)----that JOKER and MYX figure set look charming as heck!

Why couldn't they have made a LEX in his TRADITIONAL 70s POWER SUIT
instead of the 80s one! Woulda loved to have seen THAT in this style. Dang
