The decided to pull back and let their partners do their thing. Some may work themselves in via different lines later on, but the full “DC Films” line as it was presented at Toy Fair 2016 is not happening.

I'm eagerly awaiting for WB to announce they are going to rethink the DCCU next year after they have made their money from JL. Rumors have spread that Jared Leto has bought out his contract and that Ben Affleck is going to be doing the same. Add on top that Flash and The Batman can't keep a director and you have one mighty tower crumpling in slow motion.

However, WB won't say anything now as it would kill their media buzz for WW and JL.

I'm more concerned about the Captain Cold that was supposedly shown off. I got rid of my DCU Cold because of it.

Oh come on! What type of journalist is he if he isn't going to ask the important questions? Hopefully Shartimus Prime will.

Personally, I think the Mattel version looks good as-is, and the Icons line has been a real clusterfrak for about a year now with no sign of changing, so I wouldn't bother with the Icons version. No unless you're really intent on building a collection of Icons figures.

The problem is I got rid of all my Mattel stuff that wasn't New Gods because of the Icons line.
