maybe because they make most of the female too thin in arm, which gives them no room for development or joints. But why so big and strong for the Batwoman ? I though wonderwoman and Powergirl should have the strongest muscular appearance....

Re: 3.75" Public Enemies 6 pack.

Yeah, some of the designs are puzzling. Basically, the old DCIH articulation has less articulation than some 1980's figures. I found that completely strange. Mattel has sort of shot themselves in the foot by not coming out with at least Joe style articulation. Ah well. I think they're catching on, so hopefully we get a lot more of these new articulated figures in Canada soon.

For once, I am not afraid of breaking the figure.


new manhunter comes with a stand ?

No. None of the DCIH come with stands. The ones I'm using are the official ones from mattycollector.

I would just like to say I agree with you man. I got Powergirl (Same mold as Black Canary it looks like) and I was amazed at how unarticulated she was. The paint apps are fine I suppose, but the articulation is just embarassing.

Yeah, it's almost like you're better off buying a statue.
