    I hate to sound as if I were being super negative towards this line, but I'm glad that I only bought two of them.

    When the news of these figures was first announced I was SO stoked as to how they would turn out.

    I actually like my Green Arrow, and Lex Luthor, but then, I've never taken them off of their cards.

    When I started reading all of the comments about the loose assembly, cracking symbols, etc.; I thought that maybe I should wait to see how the rest turned out.

    The sculpts weren't too bad over all, and the costumes were more than decent. It was the bodies that turned me off.

    I can understand Mattel's decision to want to use bodies of their own tooling, but did they have to be such crap?

    They would have been better off using Doc's bodies, both male and female for the entire series.

    Doc, for the record, it was a wonderful idea that was stymied by a lot of different factors. My hat is off to you for having the chutzpah to pursue this dream and try your darndest to make it reality.

          I bought 2 and gave 1 to my godson and we opened them up and both are great and not loose at all. I thought the arms are actually too tight!

            The arms are tight on all of mine.
            The problem has always been the legs and waist.
            My Flash and Captain Cold have the tighter waists,
            but their legs are really loose!
            I would put a new body on my Flash but I don't know how the sticker will hold up.

                  The floppy bodies is the reason I would never buy these on-line. I've swapped all of the figures onto CAW bodies, but there have been a few accidents and I've had to return the toys to TRU. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of returning the toys to Matty.

                    I ordered one john stewart and it arrived today. The waist and legs were a little loose but he poses just fine. Great head sculpt and retro goodness. He looks really good on dislpay with hal. I hope we get six more figures to finish out the line. I would like to see robin,joker,hawkman,firestorm,red tornado,and the riddler. I hate to see this line go, it was fun seeing these hanging on pegs or on the shelves at toys r us if you could find them there.I'm sure I can speak for everyone that we all appreciate all the hard work that doc has put into this project. At least we got some cool characters that we never had as kids.Best regards to all.

                        Mine came Tuesday. He's got a bent leg. Don't know if that's an issue or just the way he way packaged. On a side note,I saw earlier today he's listed as almost sold out.

                          That sounds good, but he's probably just going to get pulled. They pull them before the next on sale date, which is next week. No doubt he'll conveniently "sell out" before the next set of figures goes up for sale.
