DC COLLECTIBLES GOES FULL THROTTLE AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON WITH BIG 2018 REVEALS
Gotham City Garage Kicks It Into High Gear with New Batgirl and Supergirl Statues Speeding Into Stores
DC Essentials 6.75” Action Figures Designed by Acclaimed Artist Jason Fabok Set to Debut
DC Artists Alley Reveals New, Cutting-Edge Interpretations of Wonder Woman, Batman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn
San Diego, CA – Thursday, July 20, 2017 – DC Collectibles, the award-winning line of collectibles –directly from the source, DC Entertainment–kicked off San Diego Comic-Con: International with several major announcements, including the expansion of its grittiest line of statues, Gotham City Garage. Racing onto shelves in 2018, the biker statues will be joined by an all-new 6.75’’ DC Essentials action figure line starring DC’s most popular Super Heroes and Super-Villains designed by fan-favorite comic book artist Jason Fabok. DC Collectibles also revealed new character additions to the highly anticipated DC Artists Alley designer vinyl series and announced plans to expand its best-selling action figure and statue lines including Batman: The Animated Series, DC Bombshells, and more.
DC Collectibles is doubling down on Gotham City Garage’s growing popularity and will reimagine two new Super Heroes–Batgirl and Supergirl–as bold, fierce, biker statues. The move coincides with DC’s announcement earlier this week that it will publish an all-new Digital First comic book in August inspired by the statue line.
“The idea behind Gotham City Garage is to explore the tough and gritty alter-egos of DC’s most iconic characters such as Wonder Woman and Catwoman, and now Batgirl and Supergirl,” said Jim Fletcher, executive creative director, DC Collectibles. “Just like with DC Bombshells, it’s exciting to see these character designs strike a chord with fans and transcend from statues into comic books and beyond, and we’re eager to find out just how far Gotham City Garage can ride.”
Produced at the 9” scale, Batgirl and Supergirl will join the already released, best-selling Gotham City Garage statues of Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman, and will cruise into stores in 2018.
DC Collectibles will also launch a new 6.75” DC Essentials action figure line that will feature classic DC Universe Rebirth character designs and the greatest range of motion ever produced by the company.
“DC Essentials will be an evergreen action figure line and will feature classic representations of DC Universe characters including Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, among others,” said Fletcher. “These designs will embody the core of each character and will attract both our most dedicated fans and those just starting out with their collections. We’re thrilled to deliver these figures at the larger 6.75” scale and can’t wait for fans to see the new moveability that allows for more intricate poses. We’re excited to have Jason Fabok on board as the series’ designer–his stunning art style is a perfect match for DC Essentials. ”
The first wave of DC Essentials figures to release in 2018 will include Batman, the Flash, Superman and Aquaman. Wonder Woman, Deathstroke, Green Lantern and Nightwing will debut in 2019.
Also revealed at SDCC were new characters slated to join DC Artists Alley, a series of designer vinyls directly inspired by the popular “Artist Alley” convention experience. Putting artists front and center, DC Artists Alley celebrates each designer’s offbeat art style and offers unique interpretations of DC’s most iconic characters. The new figures revealed today include Wonder Woman by Chris Uminga, Batman by HaiNaNu “Nooligan” Saulque, and Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn by Sho Murase.
Fan-favorite Batman: The Animated Series (BTAS) action-figure line will debut two new villainous offerings in 2018 including a Harley Quinn Expressions Pack and a Jokermobile based on its infamous appearance in the 1990s TV show. Scaled to fit 6” BTAS action figures, the Jokermobile will have working wheels and several light-up features–a perfect mode of transportation for the clown prince of crime.
The acclaimed DC Bombshells universe will also expand in 2018 with new Black Canary and Zatanna characters joining artist Ant Lucia’s popular Designer Series Bombshells action-figure line. Green Lantern Jessica Cruz is the next DC heroine to receive the Bombshells statue treatment and will be reimagined in the classic 1940s art style.
Also on tap for 2018 are additions to best-selling Batman: Black and White and Harley Quinn: Red White and Black statue lines, and an all-new Battle Statue that brings to life the greatest race between DC’s fastest Super Heroes–the Flash and Superman.

I would have gotten that alternate Supergirl statue if they hadn't tattooed her up like that. What is up with that?
OK so each comes with appropriate stand/some accessories. I am down for this line, especially the Nightwing.
I am concerned with the Superman. That is a very detailed paint job, and the jaw lines are very distinct on the sculpt. If the paint job does not properly match it, it will be a situation like with the DC Icons Superman where the sculpt seems odd because the paint isn't there to complement it. I remain hopeful for the (rather high) price point. Hopefully places like BBTS will sell for $23.99 like the Icons.
It looks like early samples on the DCE figures. THe paint looks really of and some of the seems look no flush. I think it looks great for early samples.
Nightwing looks nice. It looks like they will give stands and a cardboard background. I hate when companies don;t make use of the inserts.
I do wish for my Classic Supes and some Classic Movie figures, but at least this is a starting point.
My preference is always accessories over stands. I'm dubious of those stands being packed in because of the customizations but we'll see. They look like they pose up really nicely. Only thing left for me is to see how they stack up next to my current collection.
Hopefully they have some New Tv show figures on display this weekend.
Harley Quinn expression pack & Jokermobile <3 <3
We've got the Jokermobile... Captain Clown HAS to be on the horizon, right?
The bases are cool, but no yellow S on the back of Superman's cape? WTF?
What about additional hands?
The Essentials figures look good. That said, I really don't think those display bases are actually a part of their release. I'm pretty sure they were made just for convention displays. Seriously, look at Superman's. It looks like they glued some torn up cotton balls onto it. I'm also pretty sure most of these are just slightly modified stands from the canned DC films line of figures.
I would wager that the display stands being used for the Bombshells figures are also convention-only display pieces.
The Gotham City Garage Supergirl is pretty tempting. Especially knowing about her part in the upcoming comic.

This isn't the first time DCC has done custom jobs for a Con. When the Arkham Origins figures were displayed at one of the Cons, all of the figures had snow painted on their boots. They've also made an Arrow cave with Oliver's original suit on display for another Con.
Lame about the bases not being for the actual figures. Do they have alternate hands then?
BTW, I just realized that is totally Wally West Flash. He doesn't have the wings on the boots and the belt is the angular one that Wally has.

This stuff all looks really good and creative. I hope they include the stands with the figures, they make them so much better
My only realy hope for this line atm is for DCC to have better communication and over-all relationship with the factories.
Hopefully someone will ask them about hands this weekend.
It would be cool if each character had unique sculpts like DC Icons, but that line ended up tanking. The lack of sculpt for Superman and the Flash's emblems is unfortunate but if using a basic sculpt as the base for more figures works better for them economically, and keeps the line going, I'm all for it.
Hope they have more Animated Batman stuff. The expression packs are cool, but I already have the regular versions, so they aren't a must have. Very cool anyway, and the Joker mobile is fun. No new characters though
The comic figures are cool, but just not my thing. The arkham line is done, single carded Animated line seems to be done, dang.
The Bombshells line is very cool! I would love to see an alternate version of Mera with the more ocean look. Also a bomb shaped stand seems like a no brainer, it'd look good with any of the Bombshells.
I believe they said the Animated line was ending.
Bombshells is looking good, love Black Canary and Zatanna. Essentials looks like it could be promising, not thrilled with the character selection on display though at least they learned their lesson from Icons about not including WW in the initial wave(s).
whats the size on the dc collectibles? that joker expressions looks awesome! and that DeathStroke is wicked.
The aesthetics of the Bombshell line is too flippin cool.
Hmmm, not sold on the Essentials. Gonna have to wait and look out for their panel.
does anyone know if the expressions faces work with the other purple animated joker figure? not liking that joker with the coat
Regarding the base, I'm 99.99% sure they aren't coming with the figures. At least not the way the photos show. They have a homemade craft look, implying that they were created for sdcc.
