I doubt they'd start releasing them in places like Walmart though. I don't really understand why DCC products aren't more mainstream either. If I saw some of the B:TAS figures in Wally World or Target I'd more than likely get a few on sight. Not really a fan of bigger figures but those would be too awesome to pass up.

Well, B:TAS I can get why, it is more collector focused without even reruns to bolster sales to others. But something like this with a game that's sold extremely well(even if it took some arguing to get them to make it, oh hey, and look at that, it's getting a sequel!) you'd think at least Toys R Us would carry them alongside the Mortal Kombat figures.

Part of that though is also the people that make them. Their market is "direct market" places, which usually means stuff like the occasional book store, entertainment stores like FYE(or suncoast), Gamestops, and comic shops. It's very rare to see their material at major retailers like TRU, Walmart, and Target. To that end though, I'd kind of hope DC would choose to lean more on Mattel for these, but after the debacle that was Arkham Knight, I'm not sure if they would since Mattel is so heavy on the 6''. But even DC Direct seems to be trying to go back to mainly a 6-8'' focus. Which is a shame. They do some great detailed 4'' work, and all they needed to do was work out some of the durability issues.

I really don't get why both can't co-exist on market. Some fans prefer 4'', others prefer 6''. Both sell decently normally when the figure is handled well and 4'' provides a lot of cost benefits too.

a 4'' supergirl and Grodd would be a perfect place to start, especially with the backing of the popularity from the TV shows.
Same to many of the other characters. A TRU store release of a Flash two pack, or even Raven and others would do amazingly well in the current market climate thanks to the TV shows and movie hype.
