Nights in the desert can be bone-chillingly cold. I used to think along the same lines as you, but then I found out otherwise.

So, what's this about a DC multiverse Mattel line? I thought it was just going to be that one 'pilot' wave with the C&C Bat-robo-thingee...I'm not super stoked about the line outside of the Superman fig (closest I'll get to an Icon fig), but I'd like to see more coverage and press-release stuff about the matter. Seems like a backdoor into a 'Return of DCUC' wave...

Speaking of Icon, or more appropriately 'DC Icons', for some reason this much heralded line just isn't floating my boat. I can't get past the idea of them falling apart like the old DC direct figs did...and this is from a collector that displayed them only, neither playing with them nor posing them much. One topple off the display could feature a head or limb snap...I have no evidence, obviously, that the same would occur with the Icons, but I can't shake the feeling. The sculpts, while interesting, don't exactly 'pop' for me either. I've yet to see a fig from Icons outside of Firestorm that makes me excited about the line. But that's just me and my voice on this matter is most definitely in the minority...
