Agreed. The DC Direct Teen Titans Deathstroke from a couple years ago is good, and they've actually got an unmasked one coming out in the next few months (which seems odd, given this variant), but I'll definitely be on board for the Mattel version. (Or versions, if I'm lucky enough to find the variant.) I definitely foresee my DCDirect purchases decreasing significantly. (Will probably still get the Batman-as-GL and Sinestro Corps Cyborg, though. Doubt we'll see them from Mattel.) Awesome! If either of you have luck, please let me know. I PAY $$$!
I hope I can find a clayface soon, I actually found a two face but he just plain sucks. His legged was warped, and the sculpt look awful, so I took him back. To me the best two face figure is the dc direct long halloween, it was awesome!!
Just got Red Tornado, Penguin, Etrigan and Orion. They're all great figures... though I'm not too keen on Orion for some reason... though I guess I never was that fond of the character to begin with (only got him due to his connection to Darkseid). Passed on the 'Classic' Batman as I've already got the black & grey one from the DC Superheroes line and I don't need fifty different Batmen or Supermen running around... that and I could care less about Metamorpho. Though, I'll be completing the next two waves 100% (Gorilla Grodd and Solomon Grundy FTW!) and we definently need updated figures from Robin and Nightwing (the DCSH versions were horrible re-uses from Mattel's old Batman line)... add Joker to that while we're at it...
I just happened to stop by the Danbury CT TRU, and they had two of Parasite!! WOW. I couldn't believe it! I look down and what do I see mixed with all the 3 inch DC Heroes, 1x Penguin, 2x Batman and 1x Etrigan. I was low on funds but I got Penguin. BTW, I am not building Metamorpho, so if anyone want to trade or buy his torso LMK?
Found the 2 packs today at TRU. It was all the Batman and Superman Versus sets, checking the back of the package I saw a Green Arrow versus Two-Face? WTF?

I actually found a Red Torpedo last time I was at Target. Too bad I am not a DC fanboy so I won't be collecting them. Looks nice though.
Red Tornado looked very nice actually. If I didn't have the DC Direct Justice one, I probably would have gotten this one.
The articulation on the Mattel one puts the DCD one to shame. Plus, he's got a nifty snap-on "tornado blast" accessory.
Yeah, but the Mattel RT has much nicer articulation! Not to mention he comes with a piece to make Metamorpho...
