Mattel is doing these toys so the most recent thing to compare what these figures will be like is the Batman Begins line. This worries me a little bit. I did not like any of the 6″ scale Batman figures from the movie line. The sculpting was good but they had way too many Batman variations, and the articulation was poor. Also they were more like a 5″ line than 6″. I don’t own any of the smalle scale figures, but I do own the 13″ figure from Mattel. I happen to like that one a lot so I am looking forward to a 13″ scale Superman figure from Mattel.
I think if they made them more like the new DC Superhero line that is out, they could be a lot better. But they are about to do a Superman series in that line so that wouldn’t make much sense. If the figures do have better articulation, I think that would improve them a lot, but as you can see from the list above, they already have multiple Superman variations planned.
According to ToyWiz, these are planned to ship in March, but I bet we will see prototypes at Toy Fair next month, if not before then.
