Sigh.
You know, I invested some big money into the DC Icons line. It looks freaking amazing on my display. I loved the care they put into the different sculpts and the wide variety of accessories. This Essentials line is not that. Not at all. I will consider the Doomsday Clock and Superman figures, however - at least they have more unique and definitive sculpts, and I could use some Watchmen figures in my collection. I hope there's a way to swap faces for Rorschach in some way. |

Oh my wallet is going to be so hurting over this Essential line. Deathstroke looks amazing. I wonder if we will get a black/grey colored Batman variant? I am surprised they went with the blue costume.
Where are the rest of the figures, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern...and Nightwing? |

Love the figures, but I would strongly suggest that they give Superman and Batman capes like the ones that NECA gave for both characters in previous releases (i.e. Bale Batman and Reeve Superman)

Man, I ordered the Trinity statue, but I really don't like the direction superman is facing here. Maybe it's a bad angle? Or maybe he's capable of turning (depending how it's set it up)?

Watchmen set for sure. I'll give the new line a try, but still hoping we see a box set of the unreleased Icons line that already had finished figures (Etrigan, Booster, Blue Beetle).

I can't tell if they fixed the gorilla arms on Flash and RF.
Right now,those are the only Essential figures. :-)

I guess after the Expressions packs for Joker and Harley, the Batman Animated Series line is officially done? That's too bad. Was really hoping for Two-Face and Scarecrow.

So what were the reveals DCC did? I can't find anything to say what was actually announced for the first time.

I think it was just the stuff shown in the pre-NYTF announcement. They typically don't have the reveals that other companies do, if any reveals. Most information about what they are doing seems to come from the YouTube reviewers who interview them. I think DCC uses NYTF and SDCC as a chance to show recently announced figures in person.

Also, what are Mattel's DC announcements? I can't even find a topic on them.

He knows that. He's just still trying to prove a point that DCC lost everyone's interest by ending the Icons line.

Actually, I didn't know DCC was not doing a panel. However, I have seen little to no coverage at all going on from DCC. How are they supposed to push the Essentials line if they aren't doing anything to advertise it to people? Are they thinking, "Since this is the only line DC collectors are going to get, they will buy it?" Because that worked out so well with Icons.
Have they even bothered to talk about what Flash and RF are going to include? Why did they choose Deathstroke as their first Batman villain when he isn't even a Batman villain? How are they upping their game from Icons? Why should anyone support the Essentials line?

Most reviewers interview the guys from DCC but upload their stuff last since it isn't the high demand/priority stuff like Marvel Legends. |

Does anyone know how big the classic red undies Superman is? Is it DC's usual 7 inch scale or the Icons 6 inch-ish scale?

I'm so mad DC Collectibles had no CW TV toys at Toy Fair!

It was announced a while back that the CW line was being canceled with the last figure being either Kid Flash or White Canary. I don't remember which. |

I was hoping for more Supergirl and Wonder Woman action figures. And Batgirl and Catwoman. Where's the girl power, DC?

Accessories like these?
It was stated at SDCC that these figures would come with the bare minimum for accessories to help reduce the cost. So that means no cosmic treadmills, energy effects, and extra hands. I'm not sure why Batman doesn't have his batarang this time but Superman, Brainiac, Flash, and Reverse Flash don't even have grip hands to hold accessories. |
