DC Icons 6" Deadshot, Sinestro & Shazam Figures Officially Canceled By DC Collectibles - - Action Figures Toys News ToyNewsI.com

I was planning on buying Dark Adam when I got Shazam, but now... I am really wondering if I should continue collecting these.

UGH! I really wanted Sinestro the most! Hope we can get a Lantern Corps set down the line with him in it.

Entertainment Earth has Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and Deathstroke in stock..and 21% off your order...

Strange that they don't mention Etrigan, Catwoman, or Booster/Beetle.

I feel like I wasted my money on Black Adam now. Guess I'll see if I can sell him off to someone. Of course, It's probably more cost effective to just toss him in the garbage.

No mention of Catwoman yet at least. I can't say I'll miss Deadshot (ha) but no Shazam and Sinestro sucks.

Yeah as much as I do like Deadshot his costume has always been on the cheesy side, that and he's an odd choice for a line called "icons." Although the line has already had some oddball inclusions so there's that. Losing Shazam and Sinestro really sucks because they are actually iconic and we also already got Black Adam and Green Lantern(s).

lordbest · 03-29-2017, 07:06 PM

Hopefully they will be released in some kind of multi-pack in the future.

They still haven't answered whether or not single release figures are going, no mention of Catwoman and we are still getting Supergirl later in the year at least. Maybe they don't even know themselves.

She might be. Jay C did an update to his original post about Sinestro, Shazam, etc. being canceled. DCC updated their Facebook page to announce that the Booster Gold/Blue Beetle pack is canceled. In the FB post they list Nightwing, Supergirl, Super Sons, and the Death of Superman 2 pack coming out later this year. No mention of any other figures to be released.

lordbest · 03-29-2017, 07:14 PM

I know, but might is better than definitely. I won't be completely heartbroken, it's probably my least favourite Catwoman outfit, but I'd still be a little disappointed.

Yeah, might is better than definitely. We're kind of in a tough spot with this line because we need the preorders for more figures but DCC figures can be purchased off of Amazon for around $20 if you wait 4-6 months.

Ha! Ha! That Catwoman figure is sporting my personal favorite costume for the character. That's the costume she wore in her solo series in the 90's when I first got really heavy into comics. That costume is what immediately comes to mind when I think of Catwoman. To each their own, but I will be really disappointed if that single carded figure gets the axe. Especially considering how well the Icons Harley Quinn looks next to my DCUC Rogues Gallery.

lordbest · 03-29-2017, 09:18 PM

Fair enough, it's the colour more than anything that puts me off. I really want Icons Catwoman and Poison Ivy so I might be able to finish a Gotham Sirens lineup in at least one toy line, after the Arkham Poison Ivy was cancelled. That would make a good multi-pack with a re-released HQ.

Dr Kain · 03-29-2017, 10:28 PM

Yeah, that version of Catwoman is also my least favorite, but at least it was a god damn Catwoman.

Lionheart · 03-30-2017, 01:44 AM

Damn. I wanted that Shazam. What's the point in Black Adam now? Stupid releasing him first.

The only 2 I wanted for this year; Shazam and Supergirl, and one of them is cancelled.

I also always prefered that costume as well. Hopefully we get her.

metalalchemist · 03-30-2017, 11:06 AM

And lets hope they don´t destroy Supergirl´s headsculpt...

Augustus_Cole · 03-30-2017, 12:27 PM

and we thought(hoped) this line would be the DC equivalent of the Legends line...

smh....

Toonstrack · 03-31-2017, 08:26 AM

A seller on Amazon claims to have Static in stock, so I put out an order for it, $35 shipped, we'll see what happens. EE has it for $23 but puts release date at May, not waiting that long. Its probably the only legit Static figure we'll get for a long time, so yea.

Really sucks about Sinestro, I really hope the mold gets out there in some way or form, it looked great and he is one of my favorite characters.

K Dubious · 04-04-2017, 03:18 PM

Pretty excited to set these up!

Dr Kain · 04-04-2017, 05:39 PM

Anyone find reviews for Swamp Thing or Deathstroke yet?

This was also my initial hope/goal for the line when the initial Dc Icons series was announced. Though a good 6in Poison Ivy has been at the top of my want list for a very long time.

Maybe we can hope for a Gotham Sirens 3 pack with a piece of their apartment? Since DC seems to think Harley Quinn is the hottest shit that is probably the only way we will ever get Ivy and Catwoman.

If a piece of their apartment is included, I will buy it just for that. I'm a diorama hoe.

K Dubious · 04-05-2017, 06:54 AM

I think these came together nicely. No Room to grow, but I'm sure I will get creative if I have too!
