Classic DC Icon 6" figures.

[Ken Davis]

Ouch, but nice.

Ouch because there's now a bit of a collecting dilemma for those that embraced the Mattel DCUC line--as this NEW line from DC Collecibles appears to be the heir apparent to DCUC. But it's like starting all over again. And they'll be $25, each.

Nice because they are 6", they look to be as poseable as DCUC AND they come with accessories that make sense--multiple hands, gear ( Cosmic Treadmill for the Flash etc).

DCUC has, and still is, given me everything I've wanted from the DC stable of characters. I don't see or feel a need to start over with this new line, and yet.......some of these figures do look REALLY nice. I'll probably want to see how they look in hand, or how well they pose before I really pull the trigger.

DC Collectibles via USAToday has revealed a new line of 6" (Thats right we said 6") DC Comic based figures. The line is being called "DC Comics Icons," and many of the figures will be featured in their more classic costumes pre-New 52. Each figure will cost $24.95 and the first figure which will be of Batman is expected to hit in November 2015. Here is how the first three waves will break down:

Wave 1 (November/December)

• Deadman, with interchangeable hands and a "ghost aura" that fits on most figure's heads

• Green Arrow, the version from writer Mike Grell's The Longbow Hunter series with bow and arrow

• Batman, a pre-"New 52" iteration with Batarang and grapple gun

• Mister Miracle, the latest incarnation who comes with Miracle disks and a Mother Box

• The Flash, the Barry Allen from 1980s' Crisis on Infinite Earths with Speed Force treadmill

• Black Adam, the new version who comes with lightning hands

Wave 2 (December)

• Blue Beetle, the Jaime Reyes version with arm cannons and removable wings

• Lex Luthor, the Justice League member with clip-on energy blades

• Green Lantern, a pre-"New 52" Hal Jordan with power armor

Wave 3 (February 2016)

• Superman, the pre-"New 52" version with interchangeable hands and head, chain and robot helper Kalax

• Aquaman, with trident

• Harley Quinn, original version with hammer, rubber chicken, pop gun and pie

• The Atom set, featuring female version Atomica from the Crime Syndicate of America, midsize figure Ryan Choy and small figure Ray Palmer

These look really great thus far, but I do hope that they will have a waist twist and thigh swivels... and please no clear plastic joints.

I'd be tempted by some of the accessories alone, but if they're way too big to mesh with DCUC then I'll most likely pass.

Agreed. I am not super crazy about the ab articulation that they use and the lack of thigh swivel. My only other hesitation is how long are they going to run the line for? More than ten series, I might be all in. Three series, I'll probably just cherry pick.

PS--I really can't stomach that Mr. Miracle design.

Same here... Dang does that ever look bad.

Big Bad Toy Store already has them up for preorder.

If nothing else, I really want that treadmill.

[packerbacker180]

Ha, that was my first thought. Not really a fan of the heads on Supes, Arthur, and Luthor. Not that if buy any of them anyway. Especially poor Arthur. So far none pictured would pique my interest. Maybe they'll get into more obscure characters down the line, but for now I'm going to pass.
