I don't know about anybody else, but I had really been looking forward to these figures ever since I saw the first pics up at hisstank.com.
However, now that I have them... I'm not as thrilled about them. I like the molds and the designs in general, but something is off. They just don't seem that "fun." And it's not that I play with them, I don't play with any of my toys, they sit on my shelf, but they don't seem as cool as I thought they'd be. Maybe my expectations were way too high. Coincidentally, I had been bashing the DC Infinite Heroes figures for weeks before actually owning one, and when I finally got one, everything turned around for me. It was the exact opposite effect of the Marvel ones.
My favorite superheroes are Superman and Batman, but in general, I'm pretty much a Marvel kind of guy. Always has been. So I guess what I'm saying is, perhaps I expected too much. I guess I can chalk this up to a lesson in managing my expectations. Lesson learned.
