Saw that coming from a mile away Not my thing personally, won't knock anyone that wanted 'em, but I don't know why DCC is acting like a drowning man clinging to any piece of scrapwood to stay afloat. The scale changes, weird spin-off lines and numerous cancellations just make them seem like they're pretty directionless at this point.

i personally would not have bought them at regular retail...
but i thought they were pretty cool!!!!
like... if later they were on super sale...or someone wanted to trade for one.. i would have ended up with one or two..

Some site said they inquired more about this and DC said that they hope to bring these characters to even more fans. It might mean passing it on to McFarlane or doing something at mass retail with their new Walmart comics + collectibles product line.

Well that didn't take long to get canceled. Did a single one of them even make it to shelves?

That sounds like some marketing BS to let down fans gently, I doubt we'll ever see these for sale.

No doubt in my mind the Prime line is next to fold. The DC Films Premium line produced some pretty good-quality figures, and even that couldn't survive at half the MSRP the Batman figure has.

"In addition to stepping in for Mattel, McFarlane Toys will also focus on the market previously covered by DC Collectibles (which was recently folded into WB's Consumer Products Divison as part of a larger corporate restructuring). That means fans can expect high-end collectibles like statues and busts from McFarlane along with traditional action figures. McFarlane told us, 'With DC Collectibles taking a step back, there’ll be a void there, and they want me to sort of step up and take some of that momentum on myself.'"

This news coupled with the above quote is looking like a death knell for DC Collectibles to me. Which is a shame, because I wanted a DCAU Static from them.
