Mattel DC Figures

At first i wasnt too hot on the kids line figures, but if they do certain characters in them, i'd pick them up.

Need to see what their women look like, cause doubt i need foot hinge for a classic poison ivy or harley quinn

How they tackle female characters is something I’m waiting on with bated breath - if they nail the sculpts on them, I’ll be all in on this line.
 
Catching up after a few days are we? 😉

And in all honesty, I really don’t think that the heavy hitters are going to be much of a concern. I’m worried about characters below the B-list. I’m worried about completing teams. I’m worried about any character that has never had their own title, especially in this century.

Justice League, Justice Society, and the Titans will likely be OK. Even across the various lines. Metal Men, Doom Patrol, LSH, Freedom Fighters, New Gods, etc. is what’s on my radar at this point.

We’ve got a long way to go to get to Bloodlines and Scare Tactics. 😁
 
Saw Batman and Joker yesterday at GameStop for $12.99, which honestly wasn't that bad. Definitely tempted by them, but with a bunch of pre-orders I have seemingly hitting all at once, I gotta be good. It was my first time seeing them in person, though, and they really did seem to live up to the hype.

I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread somewhere, but I don't think I really realized until recently how many action figure lines are bringing back sprues. I don't know if it's a cost-saving measure or if there's just genuine interest in them, and ultimately it's not a huge deal either way, but it's an interesting observation.

My overall #1 priority is the JSA. But an overarching omnibus view.

I'd give mad props to Mattel if they made this:

My Golden Age/Justice Society thirst may never be quenched.

Fun bit of trivia: when a Batman movie was first being discussed, right after the success of Superman in 1978, Bowie was the choice to play Joker. I would have loved to have seen that!!

Oh, it definitely wasn't all his fault, and there were many things that were completely out of his control. Thing is, he made everything about him, so when things turned to shit, he had basically painted a target on himself in the process. Nut-Lick being such a narcissist, he wanted all the glory...but that only works when things are going right. It didn't help that he proceeded to lie his ass off to everyone, and when called out doubled-down and tried to gaslight everyone. I'm surprised he hasn't been nominated for a position in the current administration.

When my daughter was a teenager, I learned the best possible consequence she could face when being a little shit was the mere possibility of embarrassment! When she was in middle school, she was being incredibly disruptive in class, to the point where her mom and I were called in for a parent-teacher conference. I had just been laid off from my job, so I had LOTS of extra time on my hands. I threatened to take her to school in an Easter Bunny costume I had just used for an event I worked. The look on her face when she realized I was absolutely serious, and had even gotten a permission slip from one of her teachers to escort her to class in the costume...it was priceless. Needless to say, he teachers were quite pleased when she stopped being such a pain in the ass while they were trying to teach!

I'm SO here for it!

That aspect used to be one of my favorite bits he would do. I quit watching his reviews when he started getting rude with people in the comments for not agreeing with him.

I saw a guy with his son...kid looked to be around 10...looking at them in Target. Brought a smile to my face to see a parent and kid bonding over action figures. The kid seemed to really be interested in Batman and Flash, so when they left with those two figures I didn't even mind that I didn't get to look at the figures myself (wound up getting a good look at them about a week later).

I really hope this line winds up touching on all eras of DC at some point. I want everyone to get *their* favorite iterations of the characters they love.

Honestly, that Bane is one of the best looking versions of the character that has ever been done in figure form. I'm not a huge fan of Bane, but I'm definitely tempted to get this set.

I look at these "core" figures and definitely see a lot of potential for customizing. That Flash has me wondering if I have any fodder I could switch out the legs to give him ankle artic...it's damn close to a perfect comic Flash!

Lots to like in your post, but my 👍 is specifically for the Easter Bunny threat 😂
