Just a bit of speculation of my own.

Also, apparently, the white symbol Flash is a variant.

The new modern better sculpted 3 3/4" 9POA lines haven't really announced anything officially yet, They have just been discussed by the lead designer in the FunkoFunatics forum in a Q&A thread he answers questions for ReAction figures. Most of his responses were "Wait until Toy Fair" though. I'll try and dig through the thread and post the good parts here.

The Funko CEO did announce Game of Thrones (including a Wall playset of some sort) and Archer for the new lines but that's it so far. There was some general mention of more DC stuff but that could be about any of their product formats (POP!, Dorbz!, etc)

The parts about DC TV shows licenses came up in the same thread and how the managed to get them for the Flash and Arrow ReAction figures. Those didn't really do well in the ReAction format so they decided to only do older lines from the 80s etc in ReAction and do modern properties in this new format. I am just speculating about the Batman vs Superman stuff because they announced all their other random products for the movie yesterdayso it made me hopeful for them doing 1:18 figures as well. We probably won't know for sure until Toyfair though...

I'm still hoping they revisit Flash and Arrow since those shows are still in production and there are a lot of characters that deserve figures.

No plans for Game of Thrones ReAction, but be on the lookout for something even better!

Hi Reis,

You keep alluding to a possible new format other than ReAction since you plan on keeping ReAction to older licenses. I was wondering if there was any plans to re-visit some of the newer properties that may not have done well as ReAction in this new format and if you also planned on including older properties in both formats or only in ReAction?

At this point, we probably won't be revisiting any licenses, and older licenses will most likely stay in the ReAction stable.

Well going back through the thread maybe they won't be doing BvS This was stated back in July and specifically for ReAction so maybe since Mattel sucks and went 6" for all their BvS stuff, Funko was able to sub-license or something...

Could we see Batman V Superman Reaction?

Mattel owns the rights to 3 3/4" DC action figures for movies, we managed to get the rights to the TV shows. It's sort of a tricky thing, but I don't foresee us doing Batman V Superman.
