Coolness - how many "issues" did you make?
Here's the link to my homepage.
I have about 75 issues of Batman and a DC Comics section with several issues of Justice League and other DC stuff.
Plus a bunch of Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, and etc. Plus my Marvel vs. DC 4-part crossover which features tons of DCUC figs.
@salemcrow What's the deal with that Cyborg Superman? Is that a custom? Looks nice.
I've only collected Batman-related characters but Mattel losing the license was a blessing in disguise because after a 20 year wait (!) I finally have a have 1989 Batmobile. And to make it even sweeter McFarlane underscaled it, so it is perfect for 6" DCUC figures! What a win-win situation. I modded the cockpit and with 1/12 scale RC car seats it perfectly fits 2 figures.
I can only shake my head thinking that in two decades Mattel never managed to release a decent Batmobile for its 6in scale figures (66 series and JL'17 do not count!). And what was with the lack of Catwoman figures? The only go-to Catwoman figure they ever put out was the extremely hard to find 2007 DCSH edition. Mattel provided a textbook example on how to not manage a Batman license. Even the kid lines were a disaster as they basically switched scales annually. I think they finally nailed it in 2018/9 with the Batman Missions line but at that point it was too little, too late.

Yep. He got a little extra "comic" paint to more closely resemble his look from the comics.
Just an fyi for people thinking about collecting this line stead of Multiverse, Robo posted a pic on Patreon of his Hawkman's broken leg where the hip joint crumbled after he used him in a size comparison with the new deluxe ML Angel.
and?
Just a heads up that the figures some people are clamoring for instead of Todd's figures might be brittle at this point in time, so you might be throwing money away.
... because everyone knows McF toys have never had issues with brittleness.
Was I claiming they WEREN'T?
NO I wasn't. I was only pointing out that the rose tinted glasses some are looking at the DCUC line with might have a few cracks that you can't quite see.
Oh brother.
Now now.
😆
What I know is that I still have a dozen shelves packed with hundreds of DCUC figures displayed proudly. None of them are disintegrating on me. I still happily customize characters to flesh out rosters using other DCUC figures and I don't have tons of fragility issues. So, I suppose it's possible some are experiencing some degradation of their plastic - but that doesn't seem to be the case in my experience and I remain highly satisfied with my DCUC collection.

A lot of my old Spawn figures have had their hard plastic crumb after 15+ years. Whatever plastic he is using, it's definitely the lowest grade
I have that old Lava Dragon from the Crystar line from the 80s. It’s just a solid plastic figure. For more than 30 years that figure has been outside on a shelf out of direct sunlight but still exposed. That thing still feels solid as when I first bought it. Whatever plastic they used back then seemed to last better.
