    I remember when I was a kid and I accidentally broke Batman's boot. I was pretty upset. My dad glued it back together but I couldn't be rough with it. It always bothered me after that.

    Which is why the rubber boots are superior.

      I like Chips style Boots...which is what Lex & GL are wearing, but just a bit bigger and thicker...but I like them anyway.

      I also like the Cast-A-Way pointed Toed Boot...which is also the Chips style, but a lot thinner than Mattel's.

          I can completely see what you mean about durability, although even as a kid, I had few boots split.

          I guess I like the firmer/thinner silhouette of the plastic boots. But now even GI Joe boots are vinyl.

            I agree, the thinner "silhouette" of the plastic boots looks better, but you cant beat boots that flex with the ankle joints!

              Never is a long time.

              I hope they eventually make modern characters.

                I would be first in line for Tim Drake and Bart Allen. I have the entire runs of both characters. They're fun and interesting.

                  Yeah, I wouldn't mind a couple of modern characters, but now is way too soon. Too many classics to be done first
