DC Collectibles DC Bombshells Wave 1 Photo Review - The Toyark - News

[Joe Moore]

I really like the Bat Woman figure. Don't know anything about the character, but the baseball costume just looks great.

[Tony_Bacala]

Yeah, I also liked that Batwoman is a woman with a bat, with Batwoman written on it.

[RolandofGilead]

These are nice, but I have no idea where they fit into my collection.

[Tomax]

i like the harley one, i also like they are using retro/rocknroll era hair styles, makes them look even more hot.

[Cyclopswc]

Companies should start using pictures taken here at Toyark to sell their toys. I wasn't going to get into this line, but these pics changed my mind. Even Wonder Woman, whose pics on Amazon makes her look demented, looks great here. As a matter of fact, I like that smile now! Curse you Toyark! (Or "Thank you Toyark!", depending on your point of view.)

[Kagamigod]

I bought the Wonder Woman, she's fantastic in hand. Pics online do her no justice. These are the best pics of the finished product. Good job guys!

[Dolemite]

All really cool figures. For once, an alternate version of Harley that doesn't look like a drugged-out Juggalo porn star. Nice.

And great pics as usual! You guys are the best.

[SpasticPlastic]

I was thinking about getting these. After seeing that they have trouble standing, I don't think I'll bother. Plus, I'm not a fan of the articulation on them. The knees and elbows just kill the sculpt. Especially noticeable on the Batwoman pics where she's holding the bat behind her neck. The Harley is probably my favourite, because her joints are pretty well hidden with the paint, but that horrendous ab-crunch saves me $28.

[Dolemite]

Ab-crunches on bare torsos almost NEVER look good. They only work when the sculpt hides them somehow (armor, etc).

[MeLikeJinx]

I think that Harley headsculpt is probably the best one I have ever seen of her. The bomber jacket is cool too.

[lordbest]

The elbows aren't that bad, and I'll take double elbows and a slight hit to aesthetics over regular elbow articulation any day. Harleys ab crunch is a bit off-putting though.
I have these four in the mail right now, can't wait for them to get here.

I love these! Agree with all the pros and cons stated above. Ivy is my favorite. Maybe it's the old fashioned hairstyle.

This line strikes me as a potential bridge or precursor to something resembling the Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny line announced recently by Hasbro and Disney. I'm not interested in doll-like figures generally, but there's something very catchy here.

Uh... DC already has that. It's called DC Super Hero Girls, and it came before Star Wars: Forces of Destiny (hell, Forces of Destiny probably wasn't even conceived until after Super Hero Girls had already been announced, if not actually launched). It even has a cartoon. That's a much better comparison for Forces of Destiny than this, which is just a collector-oriented line of 7-inch figures based off the depictions of characters specifically as they appear in the DC Bombshells comics and merch (which, aside from the statues that originated the concept, consists of shirts and other decorative/wearable stuff, and is aimed more at adults than children). Not saying kids can't/shouldn't play with these, or anything like that. Just saying that's not who they're made for.

Great line of figures! I only picked up Harley, but I am tempted to get Wonder Woman. Just like others said, the original picture (even used on the card back) makes her face look crazy. Like she is on meth lol The final product is so awesome though.
As much as I like this Series 1, Series 2 is incredibly weak. Mera is based on the sailor look as opposed the the Ocean Hottie depicted in the art work. Kitana doesn't really work as a bombshell IMO, she just looks like Kitana. Hawkgirl (even the art work) has always been just ok IMO. Even Batgirl is not the greatest, she may be the worst looking one. For a series 1 that was so good, I'm a bit disappointed in series 2. Maybe they will turn out better upon release.
Very happy to see a female character line, great work! and great photos Toyark!

[Cyclopswc]

I see there's a Bumblebee that you can pre-order from Amazon for the Bombshell line, is she also in wave 2 then?!?

If so, she'd be the worst of the line.

I agree, I much prefer Mera in her Ocean Hottie costume.

[evilekim]

Here's the Mera..





The hair looks weird. Guess it's supposed to be curly, but it looks too short.

agree 100%, and I have also only picked up Harley.
Just to point out, even though I am an articulation junkie, this is probably the first time I would have been ok with just the regular DC Collectibles articulation for this line (I am really having trouble making Harley properly hold her maul).

I m pretty excited about a couple of these, based on the artwork, but mainly Black Canary. Hopefully they wont mess up....... >.>

Black Canary, Catwoman, and Zatanna will be awesome I hope. I too am looking forward to Black Canary, we really need a blonde in this line
Use a NECA stand for Harley if you have one. I got her to stand much better.

You're absolutely right. I dissed them and then forgot all about 'em:

DC launching new super hero girls toyline, dolls, and LEGO (Apr 2015)

NYCC 2015 Mattel DC Super Hero Girls Display (Oct 2015)

I dunno why, but these interest me where the DC figures don't.

I think series 2 looks amazing personally. Hawkgirl is one of my favourite Bombshells, I love the dieselpunk jetpack, Kitana looks like she stepped off her Bombshells poster and I preferred the Mera art with the high waisted trousers to the bare legs. I like the Batgirl too but I think she is the weakest of them (that might change if they include her wings).
