Agree in so many points. It was really cool to red. I started to collect this line later too, but now I have almost all of them (big hands too). Allways loved this scale and hope that Mattel keep them coming next year, and come back to full Dc universe after the GL centric figures.

A few days ago Toyguru told me that if we show enough interest, they would love to offer Infinite Heroes Team packs thru mattycollector.com.

Don`t forget to post in Mattel forum to let him know about it ;^)

I'm not talking about realistic, constructive criticism, but rather the Mattel sucks and they're all morons kind of commentary. That stuff doesn't accomplish anything. If they had concrete plans, they would have announced them at SDCC. Toy manufacturers have learned over the years that it's better to play your cards close to the chest and keep your mouth shut than to announce something and fail to deliver. People felt the same way about JLU when they didn't have anything for that line to show at SDCC in 2007, but it's seen some of its best days in terms of character selection since then. They won't announce that anything is coming for sure until they have retailer commitment, but we should see something Lantern-related in February.

This line is a lot of fun, but make no mistake: Mattel made several painfully bone-headed decisions with this line. The box stores didn’t want them because they left pegs full of crap and then there was nothing new coming out. That’s not negativity–that’s just how it was.
.
I hope you’re right, that Mattel’s just giving the line (or more importantly, the SCALE) a break, and that we’ll see a return to rebranded pan-DCU greatness next year. That said, Mattel certainly could have been a little more upbeat about the scale at SDCC. “Revamped 3.75 figures will return *starting with* with a GL-centric line in 2011 and more to come after” would not leave me with this sinking feeling in my stomach that I have now.

“I rejected you at first, but now you’ve lost weight, gotten rid of the braces, and stopped letting your mom pick out your clothes. You’re attractive now, even sexy at times, so you’ve won my interest. ”

Absolutely brilliant. I love reading your stuff, man!

Great line:
“I rejected you at first, but now you’ve lost weight, gotten rid of the braces, and stopped letting your mom pick out your clothes.”

Lots of good stuff there, Jon. It certainly is a good thing that Mattel is stepping up their 3 3/4″ game. I’m so spoiled being a Star Wars collector I often get kinda impatient with other companies who just don’t come close. But more on topic: I’ll give DCIH a second look. I’m not their market but I will pick and choose characters now that the figures have improved.
