Wonder Woman NEEDS a functional Lasso of Truth like the Icons one had.

I can't help but feel that this line is going to be Icons all over again because they're just doing the same characters yet again that there are already hundreds of versions of. I honestly think it would have been more fruitful to continue Icons as planned because we'd have gotten more characters that don't get enough toy attention.

Not sure I'm ready to get into another DC line after the Icons fumble. How do I know DC is even going to support this one beyond a year?
Are they going to come with accessories, interchangeable hands, and stuff? Something looks really off with Flash, Nightwing and Deathstroke. I would say hopefully the final product will be fixed, but we saw how well they bothered to fix issues with the final products of the Icons line. I do like Superman, Green Lantern, WW, and Batman though, but again, I need DC to actually prove they are going to commit to this line. EDIT: I just noticed something. Superman's S and Flash's lightning logos are not even sculpted, they are just painted. What kind of lazy ass shit is this?! Same here, never again I will support a line from this guys, specially with such bland sculpts. |

Wow, my Icons Green Arrow responded to this news by having the string on his bow break off. I opened up my case to pull the figures out to take a picture to sell them and the string was just hanging there. The thing is, I didn't even have him posed touching the bow string. It was just resting in his hand in a more static pose.
Maybe I should try and hunt down a couple of the Mattel figures I sold offf (obviously not the ones I sold off). I'm thinking like Flash's Rogues, Neal Adams Batman, Dick Grayson Robin, 40s Joker, and some others. Shit, why did I ever sell them off in the first place?

It's too bad these weren't 1:18 scale. I'd have gotten all of them but at this scale its an easy pass.

They're 6 inches. How much bigger do you want?

My condolences. Nothing against you, I just have no interest in 4inch figures anymore.

BTW, is this a giant middle finger for those that were trying to support and keep afloat the icons line?

DCC is waiting to see how this line does before they decide to end the Icons line. I'd say that Icons will get canceled since DCE has everything fans wanted from Icons in terms of scale, articulation, and sculpt. |

According to ToyNewsI, they'll only come with minimal accessories. I would say maybe an alternate pair of hands, a weapon when appropriate for the character (Batarang, GL Power Battery), and a clear display stand.

He doesn't have the wings on the boots and the belt is the angular one that Wally has.

lol DC is waiting to see how this line does before they cancel it? Yeah, why should I support another line that I have no idea if it is going to be a success? DC, you either have to go all in or don't do it at all. I can no longer support these half measured trials.

That Batman looks a lot more like his Rebirth design. You can tell the JL 7-pack figures were quickly retooled from the New 52 designs.
I'm hoping this new line is much better than Icons, as I couldn't get into it after many problems such as the size issue with Batman and the missing hands with Joker. Right now I'm building a definitive Batman display with past figures from the DC Direct and DCUC-era. Going along pretty good so far! Found a brand-new JLA series 2 Batman for cheap, as well as a Batman & Son Robin! Bat Rogues-wise I have an Alex Ross Scarecrow and DCUC Two-Face with the classic orange/purple suit! |

I'm liking these figures more the more I look at them. Icons had a more realistic style about them, these seem to be more "comic", like Marvel Legends only with double elbows for women.

Does DCC use pre-orders from e-tailors to measure demand? I realize that DCC does not have the power of Hasbro, but 12 months for a delivery date is RIDICULOUS; I've seen Kick-starters with quicker turn around times.
At least it gives us enough time for them to get our collective hopes up, just to shatter them with cancellations.

While it is good to know the only figures I will be willing to possibly buy are the first ones to get released, I have no confidence in DC to support the line at this time. Plus, they have yet to tell me what the figures are coming with.

Kinda reluctant to get into this after the Icons thing...
Also the proportions on some of these guys looks very off. Lets see if they do Green Arrow or Sinestro and maybe I'll be interested. Also can this 7 inch scale only stuff just end? How are we supposed to mix and match when the figures are on a whole different scale? |

If they fix the arms I might be down for Superman and Batman. Would go well with the Super Sons Icons pack
