Its crazy they released near 50 DC McF figures this year.
Does anyone have a Top 10?
These are mine.
Honorable mentions.
Wonder Woman 84: Really well done facesculpt if you can find a good one. Body proportions are awkward and scale is off, otherwise it would be a top ten.
Bat Raptor: For the price, it's damned impressive. However, the design of the triangular-looking vehicle is so bizarre with limited posing options with the figures. I think a Bat Cycle would have been a better choice, and more iconic.
Merciless: Excellent figure. The only drawback of course is it's a BAF, and the other figures in the line needed to complete this are less appealing.
The Best:
10) Batman: White Knight: Most Youtube channels seem to agree this was a great one. Looks very close to the artwork. This should have been the Wave One Batman release!
9) Flash: The Lightning effects make this. It can look incredible on a shelf. Solid running posing options.
8 ) Flashpoint Batman: Badass figure. Looks very close to the artwork. Love the posing options with the guns.
7) Batman Who Laughs (Both versions): Either version is nightmare-inducing and therefore awesome, depending on your preference.
6) Red Hood (Single-packed version): Great paintwork on this. The mask looks really stunning with the paint they used.
5) Superman 1000: Could be the definitive mass retail Superman figure. Great sculpt. Very detailed. The giant 3D shield looks fantastic. The accessory of the flightstand makes this one really stand out on display.
4) Arkham Knight Batman: Wow. This one could easily be #1. Incredible sculpt. Just make sure you find one with a good paintjob.
3) Hellbat: This figure is a great value for it's price. It's basically a deluxe figure for standard pricing. Menacing sculpt. The wings will look solid on a shelf. Not ideal for play with kids, but fantastic for collectors on display.
2) Azrael (Red Version): This figure is a work of art. They did the 'cape' parts in an impressive way. The fire sword accessory really makes it stand out. You can get some incredible poses here.
1) Devastator: This figure... $20 CAD
Nuff said.
The Worst:
Dishonorable Mention:
Batmobile BAF: This was dumb.
5) Batgirl: Weird anime face. Too stylized. Way too oversized with awkward proportions.
4) Harley Quinn: Not surprised this one is a pegwarmer over here. The sculpt is way too stylized. She looks like a mutant.
3) Deathstroke: This figure is a disappointment. They had a great sculpt. Good paint apps... and then they ruined the articulation to the point where it is a dysfunctional figure.

2) Animated Batman and Superman: Lol. I can't even with these. Anthony's Customs has a hilarious review of these on YT. They don't match the source material. Their proportions are ridiculous, and even the articulation is disappointing.
1) Batman 1000: This is supposed to be a Batman-centric line... yet their first standard Batman is this terrible. Really weird proportions on this one, from the tiny weird looking headsculpt... to the unnatural body proportions. It looks like a frankenstien-ian mess that doesn't match the artwork.
Overall more good than bad. This definitely isn't a completionist line. Its not gonna appeal to everyone, and the quality varies greatly. It's best to buy the ones that appeal to your own sensibilities.
