Out of all of these, Atomica and Ollie look the best to me and I'd consider those but I wouldn't even have a place on my shelf for Atomica since I don't collect any of the New 52 stuff.

They are all not to bad - but I just can't stomach looking at Mr. Miracle and Shazam figures at all. Those two aren't my favorites.

Yeah Mr. Miracle looks terrible to me, too. Black Adam looks OK to me, though.

But THIS is something I'll be all over like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm!

These are cool but the heads look really stylized and don't have that DC House Style look to them that I prefer. I'll probably get that Atom set and see how the Harley one comes out. Might get the Green Arrow, Deadman and Blue Beetle, too. They look pretty decent. Even the Black Adam looks good for a New 52 figure.

• Mister Miracle, the latest incarnation who comes with Miracle disks and a Mother Box

• Black Adam, the new version who comes with lightning hands

Wave 2 (December)

• Blue Beetle, the Jaime Reyes version with arm cannons and removable wings

• Lex Luthor, the Justice League member with clip-on energy blades

• Green Lantern, a pre-"New 52" Hal Jordan with power armor

These look really great thus far, but I do hope that they will have a waist twist and thigh swivels... and please no clear plastic joints.


Thanks for posting the entire article. For some reason my I-pad won't let me do that.

Okay, a criticism: their face sculpts have no real character to them. DCUC had, at least, some variety to the heads and the sculpts---and certainly the expressions. Aquaman is a prime example here; the DCUC version is far stronger and more handsome than the sculpt shown above. I like Batman and the Flash a lot here.
