DC Collectibles Solicits - DCeased, Batman, Justice League and More

[Freekazoo]

That's good news for the people that wanted the JL figures but didn't get a DC Universe membership.

Looks like that whole "exclusive to DC Universe subscribers" went over like a fart in church. Can anyone here name a collectible/action figure company lazier than DC Collectibles?

[Lucwa33]

So, i guess we're getting some Teen Titans figures that have more than 5 five point of articulation and that are able to get? Pls DC they deserve, we have tons of batmans and harlikuins, give the ones that deserves it proper figures.

Funny enough, I ordered John and J'onn from the DC Shop itself two weeks ago. 60% off each, $22.40 before taxes and shipping. Two for less than the price they're asking more than a year after their release.

Even funnier, they just came today. And, as a first time DC Collectibles owner, I am horribly disappointed. The scale is off and the paint quality is extremely poor. Thank God I didn't get a DC Universe subscription just for these like I planned.

Did they ever make an articulated figure of Huntress from Justice League Unlimited? I would really love to get that. I know there was a DST statue of that version, but wasn't too interested in that....

Mattel or Funko

No, they've only made the original 7 League members and Aquaman from the first cartoon series. I doubt DCC will ever take on JLU given that the series showcased a new character(s) every episode with only a select few being semi-regular like Green Arrow.

Funko (to me) is like Lego or Minimates, the molds are what they are.

Can't blame you for saying Mattel, but I think DCC is worse. Mattel was at least putting out a few different characters, all DCC does is make Batman merchandise or repaint figures that came out a year ago and raise the price.

HA! Good one!

There's at least a hundred (not an exaggeration) characters from the DCAU yet to be made. BTAS was well represented but there's three major DCAU shows left to make figures from.

And what did DCC do? Make figures that weren't in the DCAU (but not surprisingly are Batman related) and resell old BTAS figures with no accessories.

Apart from Aquaman, it makes sense they would just invest in the main 7. Superman TAS had 2 figures with Supes and Lois, Batman Beyond had a 3-pack, nothing for Zeta or Static and I doubt they will invest a lot more until they get more people buying into these with The Adventure Continues line and that mainly has the benefit of uniqueness to drive interest.

On the topic of Justice League figures, did anybody collect the Mattel line? It looks like is was a great line considering the level of cast completeness it has.

I collected some of Mattel's JLU line near the end. Honestly, it's a mixed bag and a lot of collectors got Matty'd.

Like you mentioned, the character selection was pretty great since they released a lot of three packs to get characters out. They also made some characters that weren't on the show like Barry Allen as the Flash, Superman: The Animated Series Aquaman (orange and green costume), and Gray Ghost.

HOWEVER, the figures were cheaply made. I won't go into all of the details but the highlights are:

• thin paint that barely covered the plastic
• misaligned paint jobs
• decos that didn't match the cartoon
• ankles so weak they warped under the figure's own weight

There's also the issue with the exclusive Hal Jordan figures.
OAFE - Justice League Unlimited: Green Lantern Origins exclusive review

I was just getting into Green Lantern at the time and really wanted the "Holiday Hal" figure. Fortunately, I was able to buy a custom cast from Glassman Customs that was designed to work with the SDCC exclusive GL bodies.

That Harley Quinn statue will be mine. It looks so amazing!

Jesus, 8 months of listings for 2020 and I've yet to see a single DC toy I want to buy. This is quite depressing.

DC Collectibles Justice League Animated pre-orders are live on Amazon! Release day September 30.

OMG almost the last quarter, really DC Collectibles?

[DarkEyes]

The price on Entertainment Earth of DC Collectibles Justice League Animated is considerably better than Amazon, 23.99 each vs 28 each.

But after reading so many QC issues with these figures I'm not even sure if even 23.99 is a good price.

Hope to see better QC with this new release.
