I don't get the point of doing animated versions of characters that never got animated when there are ones that did without figures. Why the hell is Red Hood and Deathstroke coming out before the likes of Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, Trickster, Piedpiper, etc?
BTW, were any NEW Essentials revealed?

Unless they were in a section that didn't allow photographs or video, No. I watched a walkthrough video on Saturday and the only Essentials shown were the 9 figures seen in the Toyark's gallery. Much to my irritation, the guy interviewing DCC's Jim Fletcher didn't seem to have a clue what was going on with the DC toy license. The first fan question he asked Jim was about whether we would get more Essentials figures and he immediately thought people were asking if there were any figures on display. I turned it off after that, smh.
Hopefully Jay C or Boog Nice will interview them before the end of Toy Fair. |

No, it isn't. It's the most overrated and over-hyped toyline ever. The hip articulation is pure rubbish, you have superheros who can only sit in 90 degree and barely move their legs backwards and can't do the splits nor high kick, not to mention the ridiculous amount of reused bucks, painted details instead of sculpted ones and minimal paint as well. The funny thing, is the old Toybiz which was groundbreaking at it's time, is still better than any newer Marvel Legends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the topic:: I want nightWing, harley and animated 2 face they hit the nail on the head with that Lobo mad max looking vehicle, WOW. they should make that an action figure and vehicle and it would fly off the shelves, do you here me DC, if youre in here....

Hasbro's line is vastly superior. Even the crappy Hasbro figures are way better than the Toy Biz shit I have. I don't have my old Black Widow nor Winter Soldier with a single loose joint. Quote:

Hopefully Jay C or Boog Nice will interview them before the end of Toy Fair. However, as a DC fan, I am not impressed in the slightest. I have no desire to buy a single DC figure right now, which is a shame because both DCC and Mattel are pretty much just jacking off all over their fanbase.

So I'm confused, was the dude interviewing DCC the idiot or was the DCC dude the idiot? The way you have it worded is confusing.

I guess then the next question is, is this guy from a new channel? After all, my first interviews I did at Denver Comic Con in 2016 came out pretty bad. It taught me how to NOT conduct an interview. I finally figured it out by the last day of the con, but even I had a hard time sitting through them when I was editing them.

Definitely keeping an eye out for the Essentials Wonder Woman & Cheetah. Both of the figs on display have gorgeous sculpts and paint-work. Hope the final products have the same.
Also, how many years have we been waiting on this Wonder Woman?? Feels like a million. |

Pixel Dan posted his own walk through but he didn't interview Jim Fletcher. The DCC rep Dan spoke with did add some additional info.
Obviously they didn't say anything about McFarlane but that last comment indicates that they are at least planning to continue making DC Essentials figures. |

So the rumors about DCC being folded aren't true?

I seem to remember them saying something very similar about the Icons line before they killed that.

I've heard that they're being absorbed into WB Consumer Products but from the way they spoke at TF, they're still planning on delivering figures and statues to fans. The amount they showed at this show did seem smaller though.

So that's all they are doing for 2019? Superman and Batman related stuff? Wow, lame as fuck.

But there is still a chance that there could be more figures in 2020. That's better than the line being canceled.

Yeah, the blind bags are bizarre. What are they thinking, that we collect randomly, like some kind of peanut scramble? And why the 4" scale? I'm no kid: I want a scale I can see so that I can appreciate small details. Better would be a scale to match the other things on my shelf, i.e., SIX inches.
And of course, the only one of these that I want -- IF it was on a minimum SIX inch scale -- the very first one in the original B&W series, designed by Mazzucchelli -- is the one they deliberately omit. Uh huh. Yeah, that figures. I wish them every success with their black bag peanut scramble. SMH. |

Just buy the 7 pack box sets as they come out, if you don't like the blind bags.
