Much like Marvel Legends, I'd like to see the manufacturers come out with the other heroes in the DC universe. The JLU toys are a good start but I'd like to see them articulated much like the series sculpt figures.

They're really expanding into the Batman and Superman worlds in the current and projected series, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they explore the likes of Green Lantern or Flash. The main significance I've noticed with DCSH is the bountiful articulation compared with most of DCD's releases. It's really too bad that they're a slightly smaller scale; otherwise, one could cut his or her DCU collect down tremendously by picking the best versions of characters.

But doesn't Mattel produce the JLU figures? Mattel's great in terms of making action figures, I hope DC and Mattel come to some sort of agreement.

It's a weird thing.. They have the rights to make ANIMATED figures, but not all Characters, but they do not have the rights to make COMIC character...

DC Comics probably set the price too high for Mattel on the other DC characters because they want to protect DC Direct. Batman and Superman are well known commodities done by other companies over the years, but the others are little lesser known and have had fewer merchandising done for them.

Check my Batcave 360 Blog "Stay The Course" to read some of my other thoughts about the DC SuperHeroes line.
