DC Essentials Appreciation Thread
I wanted to create a place to talk about the DC Essentials figures that will be coming out next year. DC Collectibles recently posted a video to their Facebook with the following information about DCE:
|
It sounds like they are going for a "DC Legends style. Similar base bodies, somewhat limited articulation but with the intent of producing a wider range of characters and designs.
|
I'm not ready to get into another DC toyline until DCC proves themselves willing to go all in. When they release Jonah Hex, Spectre, Dr Fate, and any classic Flash rogue (preferably Grodd), then I'll consider getting into the line.
Oh, and Flash needs to have running hands. |
^^^
will buy figures prior to release of Hex, Spectre, Fate, or Grodd. Quote:

i might get into this line and at the moment get a couple of figures , though not getting my hopes up for a complete team of like JL yet, i need 100% dedication and no cancellations of figures.
|
I want five out of the eight figures shown so far so I'm debating whether or not to go all in. On one hand I'd rather they persist with Icons, but being more realistic supporting this new line probably has a higher chance of getting a wider variety of figures.
|
i'd like for them to come out with just a line of figures that will just continue to go on and on. same as marvel with their legends. apparently DC can't get it right.

I really wish they would go back to the Classics/Multiverse line in full rather than start another new line, especially as theres loads of figures that could still be made to fill up gaps like the Flash Rogues etc

Looks like Batman's cape was updated. Definitely an improvement.
Old version: http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/up...rth-Batman.jpg New version marked V2 http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/up..._Figure_v2.jpg |
way better, even the cowl improved cause its connected
|
New video from DCC shows a classic/Rebirth 3.0 repaint of Superman! Around 1:20 in the video.

Um, I hope the actual Batman figure doesn't have the ab crunch peg showing.
|
Eleven Essentials figures revealed and Wonder Woman is the only female. That's abysmal. If I can't reasonably expect Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Batgirl etc. in reasonable time from this line then I'm tempted to cancel my pre-orders and not bother. Hopefully there will be some more on display at Toy Fair proper.

Sure, but if they aren't going to show off major female characters like I listed then the chances of getting more minor female characters is even lower. Even Icons had revealed more female figures at this point than Essentials. Aside from Brainiac and Reverse Flash I'll get everything they have shown so far IF I think I'm also going to be able to get a variety of female characters.
|
I guess. Either way, DC has a lot to do before I will be willing to get into the Essentials line. At this point, I will probably buy the Flash related characters and my top favorites (like Jonah Hex, Spectre, and Dr Fate), but I'm not going to jump into the deep end again.

It wasn't quite as bad. Icons had announced Harley Quinn and Atomica in the initial announcements or soon after. Two women out twelve isn't great but it's better than one out of eleven.
|
So any updated pictures of Flash and RF? I want to see if they got rid of the gorilla arms.
|
I'd like to know what lesson(s) people think DCC could've learned from previous lines. All I see is wish lists a mile long and refusals to pay more than $9.99 for anything. They should just cancel Essentials right now and let the market stew over it for four or five years.

They don't have a Facebook or Twitter account to communicate with them at all. They don't respond to emails. Everything with them is dead silence unless you are some big news website and even then, they don't really answer questions. |
