DC Superheroes figure line

[ChrisIII]

Are there any plans for the line to include Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern etc. or is it simply going to do Superman and Batman stuff?


Now, I realize there's always DC Direct, but DD doesn't exactly have the articulation of the DCSH line...

DC has a line of Green Lantern Series figures, but I've gotta say the Justice ones (particularly Hal Jordan) are much nicer.

A couple of older figures, like the Identity Crisis line are still floating around. And the Elseworlds ones are out there.

DC's also putting out a 52 action figure line (not sure if it's out yet; I haven't seen it) which looks good.

my sentiments exactly. we already have boatloads of repaints from ser1 to 3. im guessing ser4 wud be a superman line. lets just hope that ser5 will be a better mix of characters: captain marvel, lobo, aquaman, plastic man, whoever. they just have to stop making it an all batman-superman wave.

[The Batman]

That was the thing that I LOVED about the old DC Super Powers line, the variety of characters available. That, and for the time, those figures just plain looked great.

I agree. Alot of those figures did look great, and that probably and very likely played a hand in why alot of the figures I had from that line eventually walked off and disappeared from my parents house when I was a kid.

But I still got my Super Powers Wonder Woman figure. :o

[The Batman]

Yeah, I've still got my Batman and Superman figures from that line around but I've lost most of the other ones which really is a shame. I've always thought about getting those figures again, either through ebay or at a con, even if I can't find them in that great packaging.

btw, does anyone know who did the artwork for that?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the "DC Superheroes" line currently being put out by Mattel does -not- (at this time) have plans to stray outside the "Superman/Batman" formula. I believe it's part of their licensing agreement with DC/Warner.

Because let's face it: Better-articulated, equally well-painted, equally well-sculpted and half-price versions of several of the same characters they have in "DC Direct" would probably put a hurting on the sales of DC Direct figures.

Kind of sad that they're potentially sabotaging their own success, but there it is. Basically Mattel wants to do other characters, but currently aren't being allowed to for whatever reason.
