[Awkward Silent]

They- they just swapped the HEAD?! That's it?!

...I LOVED DC Collectibles for a LONG time. I have nearly the entire Arkham and Icons lines, with a good deal from the Designer Series too. I even collected their DCEU Superman before that line got cancelled after the first damn wave. Their customer service has been great to me and because of that, I invested HUNDREDS of dollars into their products.

Then they cancel the Arkham line. Then they cancel the Movie line. Then they cancel the Designer line. Then they cancel the Icons line. Now, the only figures they plan to release are these DC Essentials figures.
These figures have no accessories. These figures have questionable proportions. These figures ALL HAVE THE SAME SCULPT.

The Icons line was small and had its kinks, sure, but EVERY new figure was a new sculpt with brand new accessories - it was making a WONDERFUL lineup of figures. Before they began to include articulation in their figures, DC (Direct) prided itself on the sculpts instead - not very poseable, but wonderful to look at.

These Essentials figures have neither sculpt nor accessories. They are all repaints of pretty much the same base figure, which they push on us after cancelling a line that had committed buyers before it was finally able to come into its own.

And then they give us the same figure in Shazam and Black Adam and tell us to "create the showdown you’ve always imagined". After cancelling the Shazam Icons figure.

Thanks.
