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.

Yeah, I think you are spot on. There is no way that Icons is not dead. I'll be shocked if after this news that the announced figures like Supergirl, Nightwing and the 2 packs will see the light of day.

DCC really should have just introduced a running change to Icons.
