Just like you don't see DC Direct stuff at Wal-Mart (normally).

This is Graphitti Designs showing Mattel how it can be done, but whether Mattel will take the bait and actually give enough of a damn about the DC license to make a collector-friendly 3.75/4-inch line.

On the maybe-plus side, Graphitti Designs has put past convention exclusives up on their website before. Maybe this will be the same.

Doesn't work that way. These would *never* be available at Walmart, whether or not Mattel or Hasbro made DC toys, or anyone.
DC Direct, Graphiti Designs, what have you do not typically distribute to mainstream retailers (Maybe sometimes TRU?)
They bypass those outlets altogether and sell directly to the market (Hence why they're called "DC [i[Direct[/i]"). Comicbook shops, specialty stores, and online retailers.
There's absolutely no reason they couldn't sell these the same way.
It was a conscious decision by these people to restrict this line to conventions only.
