Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this news. I'm not surprised that Mattel lost the DC license and I think it's great that DC/WB is giving different companies the opportunity to make DC figures. But based on IGN's telephone interview with Todd McFarlane, it sounded like they'll be taking over some of DC Collectibles business too. I've read that DC Collectibles is being folded into WB Consumer Products so who knows what their future holds for them. I've really enjoyed the figures DC Collectibles have made over the past few years with DC Icons, DC Essentials, and Batman The Animated Series. Even though Icons is over, I really hope that DC Essentials line can continue for a little longer.

That's good to hear. I've been wanting their comic Batman ever since it was revealed. Since Neca has been making Kenner inspired figures for Aliens, Predator, and Terminator, I wonder if they'll try to do the same for Batman using their 89 Batman figure.
