The DC Direct smaller figures have some of the best face sculpts you can find in that scale, especially the female figures. Unfortunately their 1/6 scale figures are really not in the same league as Hot Toys. What the DC Direct have going for them are the sheer number of characters in their line. At one point their 1/6 Green Lantern was the best Green Lantern figure on the market. Once Hot Toys puts theirs out that will change.
Having not seen the thread all I can say is it is a forgivable mistake. How many Freaks do we have on the boards here that have made similar faux pas in the past? We all have to start somewhere when it comes to collecting awesome 1/6 scale figures. It is a Herculean task that Mike is taking on sharing the world of Hot Toys to these guys.
Hell, there are still people here who think Medicom > Sideshow, NECA > Hot Toys, Mezco > Sideshow and Enterbay > Hot Toys.
Can't argue there. I love my Medicom stuff but it's were I go for anime style characters. If I want movie style characters right now it's Hot Toys or bust. Plus, thanks to years of fixing broken G.I.Joe figures, I've become pretty good at fixing that pesky Medicom shoulder and hip joint.
They have their hits. The Justice Batman and Kingdom Superman were both done well. Are they HT quality? Absolutely not. This's made even worse when you consider the price DCD charges for them.
I'm on another board talking about the HT figure announcement of GL and a lot of them aren't familiar with HT, they actually think that DCD is the same quality. Does anyone have images of any of the releases (The Comedian, Superman Returns, TDK figures) side by side?

I almost got a headache with the forum style.

The lip gloss and face sculpts made them both look like drag queens.
Removed with terp. Again, not defending them to HT, just stating that those are two examples of decent figures from DCD.
