Today we have a Featured Custom from Toyark Forum member Sentinel Prime. He took a Transformers Animated Arcee and turned the figure into a fantastic looking Chromia. You can see some more photos by clicking the headline of the story.

WTF! is wrong with mattel?Why cant they put full articulation,what good is a hawkgirl if she cant swing her mase thingie
Do we know that she doesn't have full articulation on the final version? I mean I wouldn't put it past them... God, I know that this has been beat into the ground, but I don't think I, personally, have ever seen a line with more potential that has been utter fail from the beginning, than DCIH.
Sigh. I'll probably pick up hawk girl cause I'm a bitch for these things, but I am really losing patience with this line.
Yeah they constantly drop the ball when it comes to DCIH. Especially the female character's articulation.

Ravager has the same "new" articulation.
Thanks for the heads up on the protos. There was also a DCIH Joker proto on there.
Mattel is probably afraid that elbow joints on the female buck would be too fragile at the current arm thickness. Of course, if they thickened the arms enough to support joints, all the female figures would look too buff (even when they're supposed to be well-build).
Having said that, I look at the MU female figures and think "Hasbro did it, why can't you?"
I'm kinda excited to be getting Hawkgirl, She's my favorite DC character. Now we need a new Hawkman With the new articulation
I'm not sure how I feel about the news either. The later male figures like Deathstroke were a definite step in the right direction, but they are still not close to Hasbro quality. The female figures are just sad. So it's back to being glad the line is still (or might still be) around, even though every figure is sub-par.
I still think we should start calling them Finite Heroes. I am not saying this is the case but these could be proto's of things that will never get released.
It almost seems as though Mattel woudl rather shutdown than fix this.
Why can't they just give the [expletive] things the hip articulation from the Avatar figures? It matches the DC Classics and it looks way better. Sigourney Weaver looked goofy, but Neytiri was fine, and she didn't look like her legs were attached with giant grapefruits. They've already upgraded the arms and stopped sculpting everyone with giant [expletive] heads and hands like they were [expletive] muppet versions of super-heroes, can't they make one final step and fix the [expletive] things?
(Sorry about the language.)
You should be sorry! I am deeply offended by your use of the term "expletive".

(I swear, making today's kids actually look up a word is just @$#!%&* cruel.)
I don't care for this line at all. I picked up a few Batman related figures but overall this line isn't my cup of tea. Too many complaints to list the hands don't bother me but the varying height of characters does, example should Earth 2 Robin really tower over Batman? Hasbro just continues to dominate the 3 3/4" action figure market.
It seems dead around here. Also for the most part the line is meh but I really like my First Flight GL and Sinestro Corps Sinestro.
Having said that, I look at the MU female figures and think "Hasbro did it, why can't you?"
The best DC line from Mattel is DCUC, ideally DCIH ought to be not too far behind but sadly it is. If Toy Biz' qc-plagued 3-3/4" Marvel line from a few years back reeks of better design that says...A LOT.
Well I got an extra Deathstroke if anyone wants one.
I could use Scarecrow which I never saw.
or a Trickster/Heatwave/Flash set
or a Dr. Light set
Those 3 packs have been showing up at TJ Maxx/Marshalls for $5.99.
Or just give up and hand the rights over to Hasbro.
I agree this series is really a big disappointment. I was hoping for figures that matched the quality of Hasbro's in the 3.75 scale, but these sculpts are pretty lame. Compared the Star Wars and GI Joe lines these figures should each have a few accessories to boot--many don't even have ONE.
I stopped buying the line last year when they ran peg warmers for six months. I'm glad I've kept my bucks for Marvel Universe and Star Wars, these are a waste (unfortunately).

O.K. I'll definitely get the Golden Age Batman if it gets released.
This line should be a home-run. but of course it continues to overlook the very flaws its competitors continue to master. There's no reason they couldn't step up. I have never bought any of these figs, but I would love to expand my MU with some DC favs. Until this line is improved I will continue to pass.
