You've clearly never been on the DC Icons thread over on the Fwoosh. Some collectors trashed the line from the very beginning because they lacked a thigh swivel and were undersized compared to Marvel Legends and DCUC. I'm not sure how people could deem a toy line a failure for those two things alone. I liked Icons from the very beginning. While I may sell a few of them, I'm probably going to keep most of the Batman related Icons figures.

I think DC Icons is dead.

1. You don't prototype 8 figures unless you're REALLY serious about replacing an existing line.
2. DC Essentials fixes the height and articulation "problems" of Icons.
3. DCE also fits into scale with the Bombshells figures.
4. We've yet to see any Icons figures like Nightwing or Supergirl on display but it may still be too early. Although previous Icons figures have been shown at Cons only to never be seen again.
