I hope that Mattel starts off a smaller WWE figure line th way the SHOULD have started off the DCIH line. That is to say with adequate articulation that includes some type of universal hip joint. Whether ball jointed or hinged like their DCUC line they cannot make a small line that only has swivel hips. That would show they didnt learn from the past mistakes.

yeah it was marvel who made the tna figs. i like the articulation, but i don't think the quality overall is as good as jakks. anyway, i really hope mattel make b'n'b like figs. to be honest i'd rather them make b'n'b like ones rather than micro aggression ones. I second that to the tenth power |

If Mattel made a small scale of WWE they'd more than likely be like their DCIH line. Which I do collect and like, but they've yet to master articulation on that scale.

This is why im so eagerly awaiting the new DCIH figures that are supposed to have superior articulation . If they pull that off... Dear God i might go broke. DC characters on average are far more interesting tome than Marvel's. I ...dont have any feelings towards the Marvel characters (to much exposure perhaps?). The new DCIH should let us now what a Mattel "BnB like" line should look like. |

Look at the MU Punisher to see what the DCIH will look like. It will have those type of elbows, knees, & ankles. But will still have a t-crotch hips. There was pics of Animal Man shown and if you look at the pic of the exclusive Green Lantern figure coming in the new GL "First Flight" movie you'll see they only changed the elbow, knee & ankle design from the original figures. You can see a pic of the GL figure with the new elbows & ankles here- www.actionfigureinsider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14621&start=15 |

Thanks for the link to the Hal picture. I wasnt aware of that  It saddens me a bit to see that GL figure some what. You see..despite what Mattel has been saying i didnt believe that they would actually add these upgraded knee's and elbows without adding upgraded hips. I know they didnt SAY they would but it seemed as though it would be a logical adition. if they havent added new hips...what improvement do the new knee's really offer? *none* I'm still going to hope that Mattel surprises me and actually improves the hips as well as a shocker to the DCIH fans who are on the fence . They obviously were paying attention enough to make some upgrades. Hopefully the hips are included. |

Damn I'm starting to appreciate the direction of Mattel with WWE Figs but wish they would work on 1:18 scale with similar articulation to BnB (It wouldn't hurt to add shoulder horizontal swivel but maybe that's beyond my expectations).
I disagree with the comment about Jakks>Toybiz but as for the headscans nobody gets better results from Gentle Giant than Jakks.

As, another thread said, Mattel says that scale is too small for play. They said they won't be doing them.

I don't mind the BnBs, the Micros are pure  ing garbage. They warm shelf space because no one buys these except for little children and their parents. Not true. |

LOL people are complaining about good posts getting lost and someone bumps a 6 month old post. After seeing how they made the DCIH line worse I'm glad they don't have a 3.75" line. Their first attempt wasn't bad except for the huge hands. But then they came out wit hthe 2nd style for the First Flight Green Lantern. Which to me was a near perfect figure. But then they tweaked them again for the Public Enemies DCIH and I hated the new ball-jointed hips and the figures just felt real fragile.

Yeah I was totally dissappointed with the DCIH figs too.
