Why is McFarlane still using such ugly and outdated articulation? Didnt he complain years ago about articulation breaking up the sculpt?But now he uses some of the worst Ive ever seen. Why wont he improve and use modern articulation? Its baffling.

They finally get to my preferred version of Batgirl, that would have been a guaranteed purchase for me, even though I dont have any others from this line. But it looks so terrible I just cant do it.

The extra plastic on the knee joints on some of these is unsightly and makes it look ugly.

Nice looking figure. I have no idea who he is though.

Failsafe looks SICK! Love it!

Another pre-order to add for the 18th

Probably the two iam most looking for are Batgirl and scarecrow

I don't have any issues with the articulation. I can do just about anything that Legends can short of something one-off like Maximum Spiderman, and there's no weird thigh cut nor straight across weight cut and hinge. The thigh articulation is built into the hip and the range it provides is all you need unless you're wanting to put the figure on a horse, but Mcfarlane's characters that are supposed to ride horses do have a traditional thigh cut. The waist and ab crunch ball joint or whatever they use looks alot better when swiveling the torso left and right. I don't really see how the joints are any less "ugly" than any other joints from every other major figure line. He sculpts the angles and wrists so they look like they're part of the figure although sometimes he uses the ball style. It varies and I wish he'd make that more consistent but at the end of the day I don't really care. I don't care about pins showing. That's gotta be the most overrated modernization for me. The line's parts reuse is no more or less what Legends does. No need to reinvent the wheel everytime if there's a perfectly good one already available.

How many times since the invention of the wheel has it been improved upon for the better?

At least Marvel Legends, even with the parts reuse, is slowly updating their base bodies with improved joints.

Im not even that big on dynamic poses, but the visual aspect does matter to me. The ab joint on Batgirl, Liu Kang and others is so oddly angular or juts out so much more than the lower abdomen that it looks awful. And the diaper pelvis thing. It works on characters that have briefs as part of their costume like classic Batman and Superman, but on everyone else it looks ridiculous. And the ball-jointed wrists and ankles are incredibly ugly.

All of that bothers me more than pins. But yes, when my eyes are accustomed to other companies using pinless joints that improve the sculpt, its difficult for me to look at McFarlanes outdated pinned offerings.

Additionally, I just find it very strange that someone who used to complain about articulation ruining the sculpt of an action figure, now refuses to use methods to improve the sculpt of his action figures. He actually does the opposite by choosing to use joints that tremendously break up the sculpt.

Losing the license certainly kills any incentive they may have had to upgrade their offerings since they can't use any of the components for future non-DC figures. Has McFarlane gone pinless on *any* of their lines so far? From the pictures I've seen, I don't think Mortal Kombat is. I can only assume it costs more since pretty much everyone else has upgraded their offerings for the better aesthetic pinless provides...

Yeah, I mentioned Batgirl specifically but I also mean generally as yes, the MK line has similar ugly/outdated/limited articulation.

I glad we got a cheaper alternative for a Batman : Hush line of figures and not to spend $90 - 100 for the Mafex ones, sadly is from McFarlane at the end of it run so we probably won't get the entire rooster of characters.

The comics'-based Scarecrow & Hush Riddler appear to be my big wants out of this wave. If only McFarlane would have made a comics'-based Black Mask, I'd be on board with that figure. The Batman figures are just re-paints & Batgirl doesn't really offer much new. I know the end of the license is getting closer, so I guess we'll be seeing these re-paints & slight modifications to get as much money out of these DC characters as possible. Still hoping we'll see comics'-based Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Ventriloquist w/ Scarface, Mad Hatter, & Black Mask. Heck, I'd go for a Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum two-pack.

So I like that riddler, but that scarecrow is perfection!!!!
