  • The Flash
  • Wonder Woman
  • Superman
  • Deathstroke
  • Aquaman

    Thigh swivels! They've learned! Now they are roughly on the Marvel Legends-scale of articulation. Better late than never I guess.

    ...

    When will this line be canceled though? Fall 2018?

    Just kidding. Or maybe not, we'll see.

    Anyways, Deathstroke looks cool!

    They look good, but I think the heads are just a tad bit small. I really don't know why DC just can't have a nice, consistent, good line of figures like Marvel Legends. After the death of DC Classics it has been a mess. Hopefully these last longer than Icons...

    I really like the way this Wonder Woman looks. The headsculpt looks leagues better than the Icons version.

    So are these supposed to replace Icons (if it's even still a thing)? Because they look kinda meh. Maybe its the costume designs or the heads, but I'm just happy they have thigh swivels now lol.

    Nightwing and spongebob....i mean aquaman looks great.

    As long as they have accessories and alternate hands then this may be a good line. If not, easy pass. That price point is too steep if it's just these. Again, worth it if they include more.

    Are those ball hinged ankles? Wonder Woman will definitely get preordered.

    I'm all for these! My ONLY complaint is that the arms on everyone but Wonder Woman are too long. Might be just the forearms...

    The arms are too long, by these look pretty cool otherwise.

    I have heard rumors that these are the replacements for the Icons line. Could this be true? Hope not, they look awful.

    I think these look really good. Batman and Wonder Woman are must buys but I'm probably getting all of these anyways. It's encouraging to see Batman and Aquaman with grip hands which at least hints that there will be accessories coming with these figures. But I am disappointed that they're doing the Rebirth designs again considering they just released the Icons 7 pack a few months ago.

    Personally I think the sculpt on the musculature is pretty soft. If they tighten that up it could be a good line

    Not sure I'm ready to get into another DC line after the Icons fumble. How do I know DC is even going to support this one beyond a year?

    Are they going to come with accessories, interchangeable hands, and stuff?

    Something looks really off with Flash, Nightwing and Deathstroke. I would say hopefully the final product will be fixed, but we saw how well they bothered to fix issues with the final products of the Icons line.

    I do like Superman, Green Lantern, WW, and Batman though, but again, I need DC to actually prove they are going to commit to this line.

    EDIT: I just noticed something. Superman's S and Flash's lightning logos are not even sculpted, they are just painted. What kind of lazy ass shit is this?!

    We've already got tons of these. MAKE NEW CHARACTERS!

    Cool! I didn't get into the Icons because they were so small, so I'll definitely be checking these out.

    Looks like a relatively solid line of figures. Not a big fan of the rather large gap in their hips, but overall the articulation looks good. Not sure what, if anything, to expect in the way of accessories. Other than the escrima sticks Nightwing is holding.

    If nothing else I think I'll get the Nightwing figure.

    Superman's arms look really long, it's weird.

    Can this one last long enough to finally get some Beyond figures that aren't animated versions please?

    @Dr. Kain: Hasbro paints logos on characters all the time instead of sculpting them in efforts to save costs, why would these be any different? Shocker had a painted thunderbolt belt buckle while the Deadpool had painted "buckles" that weren't sculpted at all. If it saves DC a couple of bucks to do it this way so they can keep the line going and crank out a couple of extra figures, I'm all for it. Works for Hasbro...

    I see all the complaints about the arm length, so what I usually do when I see something like this is stand straight up, and let my arms fall straight beside me, and compare from there. My fingertips end up about a 1/3 the way down the side of my thigh, which is where the arms end on these.

    They might be a little gorilla stanced because of the bodies...and it's the length of the forearms that need to be tweaked, as they are MUCH longer than the biceps, but altogether, the arm length is fine.

    Glad to see DC finally putting up a line that might compete to Marvel Legends...but I agree with everyone else's sentiments, for how long? Plus these are styled after a particular artist, so will all characters in the future going forward be done the same way?

    At least it seems they've found their "Bucky Cap" mold...

    I am definitely all in for this line. All look really good except Wonder Woman. Something is a little off. But that being said like DR Kain said I hope they Actually Continue and Support this line more then a damn Year because Icons had such potential.

    This a 100% I need a Batman beyond in my collection other then just the Dc universe. And I agree 100% Trivial Psychic. Marvel legends get by painting Symbols then so can Dc just Glad some good looking Dc Comic Figures out there other then Multiverse.

    I jumped in with both feet on the ICONS line and feel totally burned by DCC. I guess the scale is better, but not sure I need another group of the same characters. On the plus side, At least they are different versions with thigh swivels.

    Also, a full year? Really? That's a long ass time.

    They say Summer 2018 so I think they actually mean Spring of 2019.

    I also agree with the previous post about needing OTHER characters. Why not give us Joker and Sinestro instead of Nightwing and Aquaman?

    Because both of them had their emblems were sculpted on the Icons version.

    Soooooooooooo, would anyone like to buy my Icons collection from me?
