>>5909310>I don't know if you were around long enough to remember but what I said was hardly an "outrageous claim".Sure it was, because everyone laughed at what you're speaking ever since Mattel got the license. Their JL was hated, because it had 90s shit articulation and when they added more it was ugly as fuck.
The DCSH line was thought to be the savior, but most of the line up was crummy designs made for nostalgiafags. People wanted new designs, like the ML line was doing. They wanted better articulation, like the MLs.
>DCSH molds were actually being favored by a lot of collectorsYeah, by people who wanted cheap cus-
>There were so many custom boards being flooded with DC-styled customs LOL. And this isn't a good thing, because they wanted a BASE body. A simplistic blank body that Mattel LOVES providing, because everyone is superman cosplaying as someone else and kids don't care about shoddy retools and redecos.
>Do you even remember what the fuck was going on at that time? Do you even remember what the figures were like when DC DirectYeah, I remember, but that doesn't suddenly make Mattel's cheapshit to be good. It's nothing but cheap cash ins, despite the efforts from a team that cares, because the figures were always shoddy compared to MLs, McFarlane figures, Revoltechs, Mezco figures, and 4H's own line.
You can talk shit about Hasbro's efforts, because it was a HUGE disappointment in seeing the quality go down, but again, that doesn't make Mattel's effort to be anything but cheap crap.
There was never a point in time when Mattel made anything that was "definitive" because their efforts were always cheap, with a budget that made Hasbros' disappointments seem like TB MLs.
Ok, i guess their Superman was definitive for a time, because nearly every fucking figure they made was just Superman with make up or another costume painted on. I can't unsee it anymore.
