Grundy looks pretty bad ass.

I'd get Grundy for a real badass Dreadnok.

I'd get more if I had any confidence DCC learned from their mistakes. The way these fall apart, this line is DOA, imho.

You have to be careful pulling them out, but I have yet to have some of the problems people have reported. Be sure to get all the twist ties off as I wonder if some are just impatient and yanking them while still tied down.

This is my 4th time trying to reply, dammit. Stupid phone no likey proboards, I think.
I'm not gonna say don't get any if you really like them, but be prepared to feel ripped off. A guy on Fwoosh says he bought two pair of this set and 3 of the figs busted either in package or within a day of opening. DCC is still using that shitty clear plastic for the joints - and if you had some of the MicroMan figs that used their 'glassy' plastic you'll know how brittle that stuff can be. Add in that DCC doesn't really understand articulation and why it's desirable and these figs are a big disappointment - seriously, we gotta deal with the whole diaper-crotch issue again? I've heard that DCC stuff shows up on ebay from the usual Chinese guys from time to time, so it may be worthwhile to wait and see for that, or to let these reach saturation and pegrot. I don't see this line lasting long with its current status quo.
I just don't understand why action figures are the only industry in the world where the wheel has to be re-invented every time a wheel is needed.

Again, can only comment on what I have seen, WW does use the clear plastic oddly enough, but Grundy, DS and GA don't.
Again that guy on Fwoosh didn't mention if he had forced them out or if they came like that (and I doubt he would be honest anyway if he did force them out). Of the people I have talked with none have reported those issues when they take my advice about the twist ties, which I am really beginning to believe is the main offender here.

Like I say, all 4 of my Kilowog's knees busted, and just last nite I noticed Kyle's upper right knee was mal-molded such that the pin didn't go all the way thru, so now he's bow-legged on one side. I'm no newcomer to the hobby, so I know how to handle action figures, and these problems aren't my fault. These just aren't very good toys. If they weren't of characters we know and love, this line would already be dead and the character selection is only gonna carry it for so long, imho.
I'd love to know where the BnB sculptors are. Those are the guys that need to be making this line.

Geez Jimbo, it seems you've drawn the DC short straw. I have all of the Lantern figures and the two Injustice sets that have come out so far and nary a problem with any of them.
I really dig the WW figure from this set too, BTW. I picked up a second for a custom repaint. She's the figure that sold me on the line.
