The YJ White Suit Superboy is the buck used on my Custom SB.

Here's the Bike. Will be done shortly.

Yeah, we kind of already established that. It sucks, but oh well. Honestly, on one hand, I am ready to sell off all of my DCU stuff just to start over with the Icons line because my god both Green Arrow and Mr Miracle have been amazing. It's like DC decided to release Figuarts, but under their own banner. Both of them are the best DCD/C figures I have ever had as I do not feel like they are going to break at all.

On the other hand, I have no idea how far DC is going to be willing to commit to this line. Will they do classic versions of the characters like Batman (Neal Adams), Spectre, Dr Fate, Constantine, Jonah Hex, Catwoman, Captain Cold, the New Gods, Deathstroke, Ra's, Hal Jordan, 90s Kyle Rayner, Brainiac, etc? Will they do teams like the Metal Men and New Teen Titans? What about oversized characters such as Grodd, Kilowog, Swamp Thing, Killer Croc, Grundy, Despero, etc? Will they even go into the obscure with ones like Killer Moth or even characters that have never had a figure before as in Bat Lash, Tellulah Black, El Papagayo, El Diablo, etc?

I am rather curious myself how far they will take this line. I have felt for awhile that DC figure failures are more a fault of figure quality than of general popularity of their characters. I will say that the reviews I have seen have been very positive.

Shartimus brought up a point in his Flash review that I wondered about as well with the lack of a top of the thigh cut. I would have preferred to have that point for additional movement in the leg. However, I thought the inclusion of both the diaphragm joint and the ab crunch was genius and they appear to really work well together.

I have spent a fortune on figures over the last week but I am about to head to Amazon and pick up the Icons figures anyway.

Dr Kain · 12-08-2015, 06:48 AM

Yeah, I do miss the thigh swivel. That aside, the articulation on these guys rock. At least on GA and Miracle.

So I preordered GL even though he is the N52 version because the review I watched of it was awesome, and he is only $4 more than the other figures. However, if they ever do a classic version, he will be replaced immediately.

The one's I'm not sure about buying, but kind of want include batman, Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Static Shock, and Deadman.

The ones I have no plans to buy are Lex, female Atom, and Black Adam.

Kirathis · 12-08-2015, 11:45 AM

I am honestly more interested in the John Stewart figure than Hal but I know I will end up with Hal as well. I am a big Green Lantern fan but I really do not like Hal. I have never understood why he is considered to be the greatest Lantern of all time when Kyle has surpassed him in every way. Yeah, I REALLY want an Icons version of Kyle. Preferably White Lantern but I will take what I can get. It seems they are mixing the figures between more classic looks and New 52 looks so it could be anything.

Hal has just been around for along time. i've also been meaning to get me a Hal jordan figure and i would like one of when he was parallax. as for Kyle i've wanted a figure with him in his first appearance costume from the 90s. i don't believe they ever made one though or at least not a good one.

Ravenxl7 · 12-08-2015, 01:22 PM

Yeah, as cool as Hal's armor is, I'm passing on him and waiting for John. Hal has never really interested me, and I loved John in the JLU cartoon.

Definitely count me in for a Kyle in this line. Preferably his original look, but I wouldn't mind a Blue or White version.

Kirathis · 12-08-2015, 02:40 PM

I am not a huge fan of Kyle's original look. If it's a GL version I would prefer the post Ion look with the glowing lantern in the center of his chest or the look he had at the start of New Guardians. I would take whatever I could get though.

Dr Kain · 12-08-2015, 05:16 PM

I'm going to get both Hal and John. The Lantern Corp is the one group I would probably buy nearly everyone from.

As for Kyle, I also want him, but I want his original look. It stood out the most compared to the other lanterns.

zombombie · 12-11-2015, 01:21 AM

Hi guys! I picked up the Power Glow Hal and had a quick look at it, why not have a look!

Byrnes · 12-17-2015, 12:16 PM

MarvelLegends.Net - DC

I don't collect these but I had a few a while ago. I just stumbled across this photo archive from Marvel Legends. net. I use this site all the time for Legends I had no idea there was a DC side. So figured I would post in case anyone else wasn't aware.

terrymcginnis · 12-21-2015, 06:48 PM

anybody see the DC Multiverse 6" yet? hitting this week it looks like

Dr Kain · 12-22-2015, 11:23 PM

Does anyone have images of that Swamp Thing figure DCC released not too long ago with comparison pictures to Mattel's?

I don't have a picture but the last one they released seemed like somewhat of a repaint of the one prior with the wings.

That I know, but I really just want to compare him with the Mattel one.

BTW, does anyone know the height of Larfleeze and Saint Walker? They're not listed in the Encyclopedia at all and I can't seem to find their specs on any site I go to.

zombombie · 12-23-2015, 02:00 PM

I got the New 52 Hal Jordan from DC Collectibles as an early Christmas present so I thought I'd give it a review!

I'd love it if you checked it out, it's real quick!

deathofthelines · 12-23-2015, 02:25 PM

Picked up the multiverse flash arrow and joker. A little unimpressed be them but had to get them since I want that bat mech. Flash is a keeper as I want reverse flash too.

That's looking pretty amazing bro!

kenm2474 · 12-23-2015, 09:35 PM

Just got him today. Blows the Production one out of the water.

Kirathis · 12-23-2015, 09:45 PM

Wait, did you have him made? For some reason I thought you were making him yourself. Either way, he's awesome.
