That's a stunning Starfire sculpt; it's also probably the best female face I've seen on these figures. Only two minor quibbles. I can't believe I'm saying it, but the breasts actually look too small. Also, the boot feet are terrible; her entire costume is sleek and sexy, and then it looks like she's wearing workboots.

GORGEOUS figure, easily the best female sculpt from either line.
••
Pity she has such a generic face.

Yeah, that Starfire looks nothing like George Perez.

Love the Starfire figurine. Also think Shazam! looks fantastic. I'm totally not seeing what you're seeing, John Bodin, as I think he captures the character perfectly. Big old "pass" on the Anti-Monitor, however. No affection for the character.

The appearance of the Anti-Monitor and Doomsday this early in the game
suggests an even more liberal application of the term "classic" than we find
with the Marvel figurines. DC has a history that stretches back to the very
beginning of the "Golden Age", and it seems like there are a WHOLE lot of
characters who should be on the list before these two.

Are there any golden age characters planned? I would think Flash (Jay Garrick) or Green Lantern (Alan Scott) would be shoe-ins.
If they get to Supergirl I really hope it's not the current Supergirl but instead the hotpants/puffy sleeve version from the 70's

I was actually kind of kidding about the pose -- going for a bit of that brilliant Emery Calame-esque wit (and it was a swing and a miss, I guess). I do think that it's a superb sculpt given the scale, but with that cheesy grin and the one fist thrust out like that, well . . . I must be a sick puppy because the first thing that came to my mind was "circle jerk!" To my credit, my wife made a very similar observation when I showed her the picture.
THIS is what I mean about how Cap's pose makes his placement in a display a bit, er, tricky:
I'm just sayin'.
