I love DC Collectibles TV based figures, and have been eagerly awaiting the Black Canary and Reverse Flash figures from "Arrow" and "The Flash", respectively.

However, THOSE figures were due out in February of 2016...and have been rescheduled several times. I was finally looking forward to them coming out next week, when diamond released their most recent shipping update...the figures are NOW rescheduled for release on 08/31/16...more than 6 months later than their originally solicited release date.

And now, more than 6 months behind on their previous batch of figures, they decide to announce 8 more figures based on Flash, Arrow, Legends, and Supergirl? What a joke. The batch in this article, solicited for February of 2017, will be lucky to be released in 2017 at all. As for the rest, slated for May of 2017? I doubt those will ever see release.

I love DC's TV properties, and seriously want the Reverse Flash, Zoom, Black Canary, Supergirl, and Martian Manhunter figures, among others. But they seriously need to get on the ball regarding releases that are already a half year behind schedule before committing to more.

I remember back when the company was still known as DC Direct, they hit a rough patch around the time the Arkham Asylum line started, and they just COULD NOT keep a release date set for anything. Things were delayed for months and months, even an entire year if I'm remembering their Mass Effect/Dragon Age toylines right. Shortly after, they re-branded and became DC Collectibles, and everything was on-point for a long time... until the clear joint breakage problems began, anyway. They still hit release dates though.

I wonder if this current rough patch signals another big change for the company? Or they're just getting sloppy/having internal difficulty of some kind.
