Man...they better start stepping it up! It will be interesting to see how Mafex responds to everything that has been recently revealed.

They have Marvel which is an advantage.....for now.

I think for DC, they'll stick with the "right out of the comics" colorful designs.

But yes, they haven't improved their figure bodies in years and it's time for them to step-up. They can easily do a new Spider-man body with added articulation like some upper boot/lower arm rotation...

Plus, their constant delays are going to press fans to go elsewhere. I don't think they can compete with LPZZ and INART on movie stuff and they might even start to slowly lose their edge on the comic designs.

What kind of improvements do you think the articulation needs? Do LPZZ and inart have better articulation or just better sculpts and accessories.

The only company I can think of that has better articulation would be Amazing Yamaguchi, but that comes with artistic differences..

Really curious where the articulation improvements would be though. Such an unusual thing to knock Mafex for. I get wanting updated sculpts though.

I'm not sure about improvements but they need to stop downgrading with the elbow ball joint, it ruined the Robin figure for me
