Superman..? Looks weird. Darkseid..? Looks malformed. Aquaman..? Looks terrible with that huge torso joint.
When Mattel first added in this "ab crunch" joint, it was a nice addition to a previously ailing figure design that really needed an update, but I think we've reached that point once again.
Having a huge joint cut garishly located dead-center of every figure's torso just seems a bit archaic at this point. Harbro actually does this same joint much better and less obviously on their superhero figures-- even the 3 3/4" ones. (Although when thy use it to take the place of a waist joint, I find it to be a pretty shitty and cheap way of doing things.)
Time to revamp that design a bit, I think.
But, for those of you still willing and wanting to give you money to Mattel, here is the pic of the figures in question.
L to R: Superman "Injustice Gods Among Us", Darkseid (New 52) and Aquaman (New 52)
Not pictured but also in this wave: Joker "Injustice Gods Among Us"
