Post-SDCC thoughts... Does anyone know what the toy rights are concerning 3 3/4"-4" DC characters? I just wonder why another company wouldn't jump in and make these.

Funko has made a few, but they're honestly so-so sculpts, on the short side for the scale, and they have antiquated articulation. And it's not purposefully lacking, they haven't marketed the Suicide Squad and Batman '66 figures as ReAction.

As far as I can tell, DC has allowed Mattel, Medicom, Bandai (Figuarts), NECA and their own DC Collectibles to make 6"-7" scale figures. Square Enix makes a 9" scale. Jakks makes 19" and 31" big figs. Hot Toys makes 1/6 scale. NJ Croce makes bendables. Schleich makes figurines.

How tough would it be to allow a smaller company that excels at 1:18 scale to create a line of DC figures? At this point I won't buy "that's Mattel's gig" since Funko has made figures based on DC's movies, comics and television shows. And they're not all "retro" lines.

Surely there are indy companies out there that would jump at the chance to create and market a line of the World's Greatest Super Heroes. Wouldn't you think?
