Its really hard to pick just two, but the larger, one off sculpts all come to the front of the queue. Ultrahumanite, Grundy, Grodd, Doomsday, Lobo and Kalibak are all perfect representations of their onscreen appearances.
Of the standard, regular figures not including the main 7 (as their scuplpts were done by DC Direct and not part of the buck system) I would say Fire, Black Hawk, Amanda Waller, Aztek, and Etrigan are some of the best.
I always got annoyed when they never used the tooling available to make a character more on model. So, as nice as the head sculpt on Blue Devil was, it bugged me they never used the Aztek/Red Tornado boots to make him fully on model. And that goes the same for only making one set of female legs that had heels, and no flat footed legs for all the female characters that should have used them.
Buck systems are fine for comic book characters, but you have to use the right parts where necessary!!

Polly Pocket Supergirl and The Question. The Question is just plain awesome and Supergirl is so cute it's as if she doesn't even belong in the line. Which is the reason I love her and everyone else hates her.

Okay this is tough, I really like pretty much 95% of what has been shown or released, but here goes nothing:
my favorite sculpt for Male figure: Superman (Yeah yeah, everyone hates him blah blah, but I think he looks awesome.) my favorite sculpt for Female figure: Wonder Woman, (hey it's WW, what can I say she's cool.) my favorite Large or oversized figure: Solomon Grundy (this figure is the bees knees, sculpt, paint, packaging... everything is just so well done.)

I am a huge fan of new 100% unique sculpts and yeah lets face it, darkseid was okay but I absolutely loved stripe (still haven't gotten it though, the only Matty exclusive I missed :p) and I loved lobo and kalibak and Amanda Waller was okay, I liked grodd, doomsday was amazing, Grundy Is the most accurate figure I have and waller was okay. I love toyman though! And as far as casual figures in 3 packs and such I liked Orion, lashina, ultra humanite, and most of all casual and amazing it's a tie between kalibak and lobo!

While I think he should be as tall as Grodd, I love love love the Ultra Humanite figure. As a runner up: Toy Man. The figure looks spot on and is very high on my want list.

You know what, I agree with the first two picks: Kalibak and Lobo (while not my favorite characters) both have INCREDIBLE sculpts that perfectly translate the 2-D JLU style into 3-D. These two are maquette-quality sculpts, and I actually appreciate that MattyCollector exists so we could get those two.

These two are maquette-quality sculpts, and I actually appreciate that MattyCollector exists so we could get those two. This made me re-think, and I agree, the animated figures always should have a maquette look to them, as the simple style and lines and minimum POA should reflect that. I know kids play with these as toys, but I've always viewed them as little statues, cheaper than a normal maquette and with a far greater range of characters available. I think most of us display them as such, and so on that basis Kalibak and Lobo do the best job of this.

Solomon Grundy (either paint job) for sure, and The Ray. I never thought I'd see a Ray figure, and they did a pretty nifty job with him.
