Is there any sort of a visual checklist for Infinite Heroes? Something like Ham Salad's JLU page

You could make one real quick. Just hit copy and paste about 15 times after you put the first Guy pic in the list haha.

Just kidding IH fans!

Amen

I don't usually do this as it is all opinion but it truly baffles me someone could think DCIH even towards the end could hold a candle to the MU figures. I mean come on. Really?

Mattel needs to quit fiddle farting around with the DCIH and GL style no articulation figures and do what Hasbro does. Hasbro even has the good sense to incorporate comic versions in with the movie versions. Mattel needs to build on Batman/Superman and they didn't with DCIH and the figures were subpar imo. That is why it failed. The first wavewas a bunch of C-listers imo except maybe Captain Marvel? Wasn't he in that wave. Your first wave needs to be your big guns.

I wasn't even thinking about one of these poster-like checklist. Thanks.

Some of these figures look like they came from different lines. I almost think this scale was too small for Mattel to execute properly. Maybe if they had been about 4 1/2" tall? I don't know. Hasbro can do it with MU so why not Mattel? Back to the drawing board.

Errngghh. That checklist is not updated so I don't want people looking at it. I'm trying to protect DCIH's reputation. It's missing a ton of figures.

Marvel Universe is better, no one is taking that away from them. I said some of the DCIH are as good as Marvel U, they just weren't consistent. Marvel Universe was kinda overated around these parts for awhile. A lot of their figures, early figures, were pretty sad. And the paint applications were the worst in the toy aisle, I'll go to my grave with that assertion. They are better now of course. I like them more than Legends. But before Deathstroke came out, Mattel said in a Q and A that they were "working on a villain that is their most impressive figure yet." And they were right. The Public Enemies Batman and Superman figures were in the right direction. There was just no line harmony from the beginning. They need to nail that next time.

My kids are practically action figure aficionados with all my stuff sitting around. They like details on the figure, for sure, but not necessarily 100 points of articulation. They just don't care about the articulation. But, nevertheless, we need elbows and knees to bend.

They need to be well detailed, decent artic, don't make them frickin' $10.00 for no value( HOJ is just a flat piece plastic to those that kind find the other figures), keep rotating assortments like MU does, and most of all...HELP the retailers get the toys on the shelves. Hold their hands if you must. Send out reps. I know people find Mattel toys but I find it to be a struggle.

As noted, that visual poster is incomplete as it is missing characters that came later.

I have an incomplete visual checklist on my website. I think that I have all of the characters listed on the release section but I haven't finished uploading photos.

Even Wikipedia does not list them all.

There was another site that had a decent listing but the bookmark is on my other computer.

Eh. I don't like all the articulation and horrible leg joints on those marvel figures. I agree that they look pretty good, but one reason I quit buying them was I got tired of all the extra articulation. I like articulation, but I just thought they did too much on the Marvel figures.

I love the collection of DCUC I have. I don't want it to end. But Mattel obviously could use a lesson on the 4 inch figures if they are going to make them.

I mention this all the time, but this free iTunes app has complete checklists for all DC lines including Classics, Infinite Heroes, DC Direct, Super Powers, Young Justice, Action League and I think JLU. I love it. You should all get it if you have a phone or device, It's really handy.

They even have the prototypes, DVD figures, Con exclusives, variants and unreleased figures on the DCIH checklist.

There is absolutely no indication that Hasbro would interact with fans more than Mattel does. They have zero contact with their fans outside of conventions. I'd argue that Mattel's open door relationship with their fans has become their undoing.

Unfortunately, until DC/WB gets their act together, DC product at mass retail is always going to be shaky. Marvel is lightyears ahead of DC in that regard, and that trickles down to their toys.

Hell, even DC Direct is down to doing one action figure a month, and they're not even supported by retail!

Exactly MoMoney. Hell if it was me in a business I'd be like f-u fans we are doing what we think makes us the most $$. Hasbro does the fan requested stuff but their model is we are going to make what we think sells and that is how it is going to be. They don't always choose right imo but they do a good job.

I think WB wanted GL to be their Iron Man and it wasn't.

Warner needed that movie to be Iron Man which was what makes it even more disappointing.

Im all for the bashing of Mattel mishandling yet another line-- but as much as I prefer a Hasbro product and would love for them to get the license. But even they arent all roses-- their lines although compatible with each other have just as many failures..
--Wolverine and the X-Men came out with a bang and then wave 2 and 3 had about 3 figures a piece and some of those were pretty much just repaints (never completed the core team from that series)
---The animated Iron Man series of figures only got out one wave (possibly 2)
--SHS/Galactic Heroes was abandoned for the crappy Imaginext model-- (more articulation- but less than 2 waves worth of new product a year (Star Wars had a year between releases)-- And not to mention about 20 different figures shown at different cons that never saw the light of day (are tooled and when "protos" pop on ebay still go for over 75.00 a piece-- and I think Kraven tops most of the unproduced JLU items out there in price --
-- Overordered Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull figures.
---Duke and Winter Destro in every single case of G.I.Joes
- A spiderman line with which seems about 50 spiderman figures (most are goofy made up ones) and only 6-8 villians ( 2 of which are the crappy newer version that no one wants (Doc Ock with a Goatee--)-some of which were impossible to find (still looking for the new Venom)
Even the Mighty Star Wars-- several announced vehicles that went to production and didnt even make it into the States- (and then the decision to keep repacking old vehicles over and over again)---

But that being said-- at least all of my hasbro figures are standing upright (even if they need a stand)-- not doing the limbo...

You sure about that? How many lines have "Adult Collector" written on the package?

Thank you! I will check all of those out when I get a sec. Thanks to funtime3 too for the phone app.
