Of all the reveals, Ra's and Orm were probably the best surprises and neither helped sell 2014. After all the retail waves and such the sub was more about maintaining buyers rather than getting new collectors. If you never bought a DCUC figure why would you sub? So changing up from the stated reason for the sub with a two tier exclusive and redoes of previous characters maybe hurt more than it help. Just speculation of course.

Its a shame that maybe the best comic toy line ended on such a sour note. I still look at my collection with pride. I just feel like there is a little emptiness, for a) knowing that it is ending soon, and b) knowing that with better leadership it coulda been EVEN better. Oh and c) that Batzarro is gonna be my last figure.

Bat-zarro is to DCUC, as a girl is to laughing at your package! At least that's the way I see it since the end is nigh...

Okay, got my Huntress. Yeah, her head does look a little weird. I think the problem is that she actually looks like a toy where as the most of the other female head sculpts look like plastic representations of comic book artwork. For the most part, the paint apps are perfect except there's a small paint chip crust on her face which is annoying but I'll try to X-acto that off. The crossbow is a little big... I might make a smaller one for her to hold if I get the time. Overall, I'm happy to finally get her, I mean look at all the belts and buckles and straps and new tooling she got. You can really see that a lot of money went into her but wish the head sculpt was a little more pretty looking.
