Their toys have never come close to being super-articulated, but they've mostly been serviceable. However, there's a distinct lack of waist joints. In some cases we can... well, not \"overlook\" that, but at least excuse it. Some characters don't have any sort of a break in their costume there, so a waist joint would look out of place; but what really grinds is when a figure has a visual break, where a joint could easily be hidden, but DCD still forgoes the articulation. Since it's a very elite club, DC figures with waists, we've decided to start a list. Clearly it's not comprehensive, but consider it a start.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1999<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2003<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbop.php\">Black Canary and Huntress<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdsupm.php\">Superman<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2004<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/rustin\/dcds3st.php\">Steel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdh1j.php\">Joker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2005<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/monkey\/dcdfa3bg.php\">Batgirl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdew1rsww.php\">Red Son Wonder Woman<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2006<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/monkey\/dcdjlr3jok.php\">Joker<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdnf1bh.php\">Blackhawk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdgl2shk.php\">Shark<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdjlr4sg.php\">Solomon Grundy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdjlr4zee.php\">Zatanna<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdinfc1mong.php\">Mongul<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2007<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/monkey\/dcdpe2h.php\">Hawkman<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/monkey\/dcdpe2ll.php\">Lex Luthor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdpe2s.php\">Steel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdkc4aq.php\">Kingdom Come Aquaman<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdew3rsgl.php\">Red Son Green Lantern<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdjlr6crow.php\">Scarecrow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2008<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdgl3cyb.php\">Cyborg Superman<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2009<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/dcdng2bb.php\">Big Barda<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/dcdasbr1bg.php\">All-Star Batgirl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2010<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbatreb1az.php\">Azrael<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/dcdbatreb1bg.php\">Batgirl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbatreb1jt.php\">Jason Todd<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbatreb1tf.php\">Two-Face<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2011<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbk8lex.php\">Lex Luthor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/rustin\/dcdglwlbf.php\">White Lantern Batman<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Damien Wayne Robin<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbatinc1kni.php\">Knight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbatinc1mob.php\">Man-of-Bats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdgl5bw.php\">Brother Warth<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2012<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbac3ct.php\">Clown Thug<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2013<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdnew52jok.php\">Joker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>2014<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdbao2an.php\">Anarky<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdnew52or.php\">Orion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you know any others, let us know in the comments and we'll add them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - June '16\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2016\/06\/flippin-through-previews-june-16\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - June '16<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"An Xmas gift for you!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2009\/12\/an-xmas-gift-for-you\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">An Xmas gift for you!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Rustin's Spoils of the Week #23\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/06\/rustins-spoils-of-the-week-23\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Rustin's Spoils of the Week #23<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Minimate Mini-Review #16 - Batgirl &#038; Bane\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/05\/minimate-mini-review-16-batgirl-bane\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Minimate Mini-Review #16 - Batgirl &#038; Bane<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"I seem to recognize your face - The Mystery Men\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2016\/02\/i-seem-to-recognize-your-face-the-mystery-men\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">I seem to recognize your face - The Mystery Men<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the beginning, DC Direct has consistently had trouble with one particular joint.
