Mattel regains the DC license

Could not disagree more about the four horsemen. Loved their work on Dcuc and motuc. Their mythic legion line proves that if mattel would let them do what they really wanted to do, new dc figures could be really bad ass.

@ensign I'd have to agree. Four Horsemen are some of the best in the biz, especially when they're not working for someone else and held to certain obligations. I only have a handful of Mythic Legions, Seventh Kingdom, Gothitropiois, and Figura Obscura, but they're all fantastic, and I don't think I've seen a single 4H original piece that I haven't been impressed by it some way. They always manage to show how detailed and creative they can be when they're not tied to more simplistic, pre-existing designs, or have to keep things within certain budgetary restrictions. Of all the complaints I've had for various toylines, the sculpting is often far down the list, if on it at all,and it's often because of 4H's involvement.

I also loved what the Four Horsemen did on DCUC and MOTUC. I've never bought a single other thing that they've done because I don't buy any licenses that I don't care about, but both of those lines were fantastic. 

I mean 4HM aren’t articulation wizards or anything but their sculpts are great. 

The Four horseman made DCUC. Theirs sculpts were and remain in the own lines fantastic. Very few horseman misses across 20 waves. The girls and a weird ass Superboy needing the most improvement.

I am not an articulation junkie by any means. I enjoy good action figure pose ability- but display vanilla and do not enjoy endless cuts in the sculpt. So- best of both worlds will do just fine for me 🙂  and honestly ready for a change, McF did some good things but on my shelf DCUC still reigns supreme.

Oh I completely agree I have oh, I don't know around 20 Four Horseman sculpts. My favorite is Frankenstein then the Egyptian gods, third I would have to say is the latest snake army builder. I just don't want them if Mattel hired them again to subcontract the sculpting duties to amateurs as they did before and we get subpar DC figures.

On the topic of the 4HM. they are top of the line, i like them and their figures are superb BUT there creativity needs work, some of their figure designs are bad. they need better 'creative' figure designers.
