I'm asking because Lightning Collection (or Hasbro era toys) have yet to arrive in my country. The only available way was through middlemen and they'd usually sold out. And when it comes to toys like these, buying them on the spot is more satisfying.

I love D-Amazing's videos, the guy gives off so much positive energy. I'd say Lightning Collection is a an 8/10 line. The sculpts are fantastic. I know some people have complaints about the MMPR helmets, but they look totally fine to me. The articulation is also fantastic. They can do just about anything you want. The accessories are mixed. The civilian heads are fantastic, look super realistic and accurate, no complaints there, but the alt hands can sometimes be lacking. Characters with two weapons sometime only come with one holding things hand, which is frustrating. There's also been some complaints about figures not coming with every single weapon they use and in every single configuration, but that's just a limit of the $20 price point, and the SDCC exclusives prove Hasbro has no issue with giving you absolutely everything if it's possible. Another mixed thing is the paint QC. First wave was rough. Had to return my first Tommy because he had some bad paint splotches. DC Red also had some somewhat sloppy paint on his chest, but it was tolerable. My wave 2 figures all looked great though, and I've heard much less complaints about paint QC from other people with wave 2. On the topic of paint, DC Gold is getting a bit of criticism for having less paint than Red did, lacking the white neck and the silver on the hands. Last problem only some people seem to feel exists. I think the joints can be a bit gummy feeling. While it's better than breaking from being too stiff, it's still a bit weird feeling. Some people aren't bothered by it through. Overall, I'm really enjoying the line, and hope it keeps going for a long time
