I swear, this Adventures Continue line is soon going to have a whole shelf on one of my detolfs.

The hell is going on with that Poison Ivy statue? She's got green legs so I thought they were tights, but she also has individually sculpted toes?

I really hope they are holding back some reveals. It will be pretty disappointing if they only have 4 new figures and a repainted six pack to show.

This company is hilarious. They think changing the name of an underperforming film will work and now they think changing the name of their collectible company back to the old one will make everyone forget they're just a repaint factory that only makes Batman merchandise.

What stupidity.

Dude, it's DC COLLECTIBLES. Sorry, DIRECT. Do you seriously expect anything less that statues and repacks?

Relax man, they just make toys, no need to get so emotional.

I'm hoping it's just the photo, but WWs waist and torso look really badly proportioned, like they put 7" scale arms and legs onto a 6" scale torso

I gotta love their announcement for their entire lineup under the Direct name again. Batman, Batman, lots more of Batman, Joker stuff, Harley stuff, more Batman, some zombie Batman stuff, a couple Superman items, and then a few non-Batman figures that seem to be an afterthought.

These gonna be in 6' ML scale or 7' scale?

The Essentials figures are in 7" scale.

That Deadshot statue looks rather feminine lol.

If u want new stuff go to McFarlane or get old Mattel stuff. DC Direct seems to just do more statues, and artistic style things and figures. Also, DC Direct has nothing to do with the Harley Quinn movie. Two separate divisions. The Batman merchandise obviously sells, do u want them to make stuff nobody wants. I'm enjoying it. DC Direct has never had highly articulated action figures. If they wanted to do that they would never have had a deal with McFarlane

Honestly what the fuck?

You take a break from new DC Essentials characters after just four waves and come back with... nothing? We've seen all the DCeased characters before, we've seen the new wave before, and this repaint pack is just... a repaint pack?

Why do I fucking bother with this company, I used to adore it more than anything. Remember the Arkham figures? I seriously doubt they'll release something of that quality again, though they're welcome to prove me wrong when the next Arkham game comes out.

Once they changed their name to DC Collectibles they actually had many fully articulated lines. The later Arkham game series figures, Icons, and Essentials lines are well articulated just to name a few examples.

Smart move for them to go back to the DC Direct name. I’m sure it was confusing as hell for people googling and checking EBay for DC Collectibles. It would easily double your results for unrelated things.

Says the guy who's criticizing the proportions on them. They're just toys man, no need to get nitpicky.

I realize this may be a great shock to people, but all I did was make a comment before going to bed. I didn't punch a hole in the wall, didn't take it out on my wife, and it's not going to ruin my day today. Stop reading into things.

I was waiting for this one. DC Whatever They're Called Today and DC Films are both subsidiaries of a parent company (which was "the company" I was referring to, funny how everyone else but you figured that out) that has no f****** clue how to handle these properties. It's not illogical to assume the same stupid business practices trickle down to other divisions.

As for the rest of this:

1. McFarlane has proven in one wave they're just as bad. This might come as a shock to you, but as a DC fan, I actually own several Batman figures already.

2. Buying old Mattel figures off the Internet is not a particularly ingenious way to financially support a brand.

3. DC wouldn't have a problem selling other figures if they actually tried getting other characters over. Aquaman is the highest grossing film of all time based on a DC Comics character, one would think that'd be a good place to start.

4. Your rant about articulation has absolutely zero to do with anything I said, and as another commenter pointed out, is false. So I think it’s fair to say you have no idea what you’re talking about. What a surprise.

5. You can spell "merchandise" but can't spell "you". Wish I had noticed that earlier, wouldn't have wasted time on this.

If u were waiting for this one and waiting for an argument then it's pretty sad and pathetic. Your not some genius either. The companies are two seperate divisions. One makes toys/statues the other makes movies. DC Direct does not make movies. If u knew there would be some BS why did u post something. I will always write U, for you. I know more than u would ever know about anything. If u can run the company better, then perhaps u should try then instead of wasting your time arguing with some stranger on this forum. These comments are the most disgusting and childish comments I have read and its people like u that make the internet crappy. U seem like a person, that when life gets u down, u do absolutely nothing to make things better for yourself. All the anger and frustration u have should be gone and u need to calm down, then gather yourself and write a letter to the company,so that they can actually do something. I can't help u.These are just pieces of plastic if u didn't know. It's not the end of the world

The point is people want more than just Batman merchandise. I have never seen a company so embarassed by their own history and universe the way I do with DC.

If DC solely wants Batman, then they should sell off the rest of their characters to Marvel so that Hasbro can give us a decent Flash line.

while i do like some of the adventure continues figures. the fact that none of them seem to come with any extra hands or accessories is a big turn off for me. :(
no whip or cat for cat woman?!

and again i wish they would re issue some of the hard to get ones like batman beyond or joker expressions pack.

Dammit, this is just a re-release of the same Batgirl.
Do the TAS Batgirl already...
I am not happy with the direction the TAS line went. I was hoping they would expand to Superman TAS and then JLU... instead, they are making animated versions of characters I doubt anyone interested in the classic cartoon cares about like this edgy reboot universe evil Joker/Batman hybrid in BDSM gear.

They already did, back in 2017.

Dan Didiot has left DC, so maybe we can get some decent products and stuff for once.

Not really interested in anything here, but I came to say that the return of the DC Direct name is freaking awesome!!! I thought they were dead forever!

kinda bummed to see the DC Essentials line will essentially be DCeased repaints this year. Was really hoping for that rumored Poison Ivy...
