Mattel DC Figures

I mean... these are just the kids' line. We haven't seen the line intended for collectors yet.

Well....I did not know that!

Well....I did not know that!

Kids line comes out first, so that's what they're showing right now. The collector line (which lots of people assume will look/function more like MOTU Chronicles figures) is something they've told us is coming, but won't be previewing for a bit longer yet as those are set to come out well after the kids' stuff.

Yes... I'm patently waiting to see what we get in that line... because while the kiddie stuff looks nice... its not going to get me to replace what I have.

I'm pretty excited to see what Mattel has planned for their collector oriented line. The kid stuff looks pretty good for what it is, and from the way people talk about their other lines in recent years, it sounds like they've learned how to better handle a line of figures for collectors. I also really hope they've been paying attention to the problems people have had with the McFarlane line.

Seconded. Minimally, I suspect we'll see better announcements of what's coming when and have a better chance at pre-ordering mainline release. Exclusives will still exist and will suck, but hopefully no more than they suck for say Marvel Legends.

I don't plan on buying the Mattel figures but I am excited to see what is coming. I just feel like I need to end with McFarlane instead of starting a new line. I may get something if it hasn't been made before or looks good. I tried that with Mattel before, I would get DC Super Heroes figures that weren't done by DC Direct. Then I got DCUC and made a separate display for Mattel from DC Direct. I must say I am more excited for Mattel than I ever was with McFarlane.
