DC Icons Super Sons 2 Pack Photo Review

Posted on October 7, 2017 at 6:54 pm by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

DC Icons is coming to an end with the arrival of DC Essentials next year, but we still have some before that happens! Select figures from the later waves that never released are dropping at the end of 2017, and one of those is the Super Sons 2 pack. This features Rebirth versions of Damian Wayne and Jon Kent in the small-ish 6 inch scale, meaning they are more like 4 inches or so. Each come with additional hands, Damian has hands with batarangs, along with a staff weapon. Jon has a clear riser so he can hover behind Damian. The sculpts and paint are fantastic overall. Read on to check out some additional thoughts courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

Overall Thoughts:

I was looking forward to this set since it was unveiled. I dig the Super Sons angle in the modern comics, and this is the best version of Damian Wayne we’ve got in a while. They are a little small, since Icons as a whole ran small, but still wanted them. My particular set had some QC issues that was a bummer. Damian’s cape was bent upward as it went through the plastic bubble. This left a crease and some paint wore off because of that. A hair dryer worked it out so he wasn’t in perpetual falling from the sky mode though. On Jon, his arms were misaligned at the shoulder joints. One stuck out too far, and one was pushed in too far. Impossible to get a normal resting pose due to this. I haven’t run into major DC Collectibles QC issues in a couple years, so hopefully this was just a one off situation. If you are picking this up, just check the window before you open.

Aside from all that, it’s a great set. They’ll be staying in rotation even after Icons is fully done and they’re retired from my shelves. If you grabbed the Rebirth 7 pack earlier in the year, they pair perfectly with Batman and Superman. If you didn’t, Rebirth Batman and Superman will be released before the end of 2017 individually. I just hope we get similar figures in the upcoming Essentials line, because a little extra bulk and height would do them justice.

Check out some key shots here, full set below!

    I kinda fell off of Icons here at the end, but I did pick this up. I am close to complete, so I may try and pick up the later ones over time. I like full line group shots .

    The DC Icons line is not "officially cancelled" - according to DCC, they're "giving it a break while they try Essentials".

    It's frustrating because they've also put the other two of my favourite lines on "break": The Capullo line and the Arkham line. Doing this with Icons too honestly gives me no incentive to get any DCC figures in 2018.

    It's sad because I actually love the company and their figures, and will finish collecting all my Icons stuff. These are great figures, and I hope the line comes back.

    Have you tried warming Superboy's shoulder up with a hair dryer and then pushing it in the rest of the way? I just got the DCC New Batman Adventures Joker and his waist wasn't pushed in all the way. All I had to do was heat the torso up for 1 minute with a hair dryer and then push the lower half in the rest of the way. The waist is just a simple mushroom peg so it wasn't difficult.

    If they said it was officially canceled, no one would buy their last remaining stupid figures.

    Technically, the 2012 Thundercats series is not officially canceled.

    Anyway, Damian looks cool, but what the hell is up with the fish face on Conner?

    I'm pretty sure the Arkham line is done (at least until there's a new game) since they flat-out cancelled those final few releases, including the Poison Ivy that I was actually looking forward to, and haven't said anything about the line for a long time. I was really hoping they'd do Injustice 2 figures in the 7" scale, I rather like many of those designs.

    Also welcome to the Ark!

    Thanks for adding the pic with Capullo Batman. I was thinking of picking this set up, but the scale is just far enough off to save me $50 or so.

    Not yet, I may do that tho. I don't know why I didn't try when I had it out for Damian's cape.

    Agreed, they haven't officially cancelled it, but based on how things have rolled, I think it's done. New 52, Capullo, Arkham, all faded out to a trickle, with many of the last figures shown cancelled. Icons is in the same boat.

    If for some reason Essentials flops, I doubt they'd go back to this. The tech has gotten better here, but it's still too small and not quite "it" for most people.

    Really hoping we still see Blue Beetle and Booster 2 pack as well as Etrigan!! Since the initial pic of Etrigan he looked to be one of the best of the line. With the size correct half way through, I definitely was a fan of Icons.

    Sorry, they aren't happening, period.

    I expect the Essentials line to flop as they are just repeating the same mistakes of the Icons line, but without the cool accessories and unique sculpts.

    I'm not sure why DCC can't figure out the only thing people wanted them to change was giving their figures more articulation and doing more than just New 52 characters. It isn't rocket science, but they decided to go and reinvent the wheel for some strange reason.

    After the great 4H DC line was cancelled. I sold off my entire collection due to financial issues a few yr back. And they cost a lot in the after market, so no sense in trying to get back into that line. But when I heard the DC icons line was coming out, I was pretty interested in it. But when I saw they were on the small scale side of exactly 6', my enthusiasm for a DC vs Marvel collection went up in a puff of smoke. I like the sculpts and they seem to have sufficient POA, but they also keep making just modern 52 versions and screw over classic DC fans. So I said, freak em, not getting my $. Hasbro at least mixes it up and gives Marvel fans a combo of classic, modern & MCU versions so all 3 fan bases are pretty well represented.

    Damian looks great with DCUC Batman- which was why I got the set- much better than the Multiverse version. He comes across as more of a 10yr old than 13 I think- had he been Superboy's size he would be a perfect 13yr old scale- but they also mention in the comic a lot how small he is - so the size works for me. Multiverse Robin looks more like a 16yr old size when standing with the DCUC Batman, so I was really happy with how this Damian turned out

    I was willing to suffer Booster just for Ted Kord's Blue Beetle.

    Although the Icons line was vastly inferior to 4H DCUCs, I did pick up a handful. At least the Icons were a fading attempt to represent some vintage, silver age characters. I cannot endure pointless New 52 & "Silver Screen" versions of Marvel & DC archtypes.

    I don't even care much for the way movie personalities have transmogrified, much less the costumes. Cold War Tony Stark was the 20th Century's evolution of "the man in the iron mask," condemned to wear his (AC-rechargeable) chestplate under his shirt FOREVER, to keep his heart beating. He could FLY (a novelty in Marvel's silver age pantheon), and had invented iron which was somehow solid from the outside, while flexible from the inside. OK, it was sheer hokum, but made him a more sympathetic character, at least to me. What has Tony become in today's Marvel Universe? An *sshole, egotistical armsdealer? These days, WHO DOESN'T own their own flying, metal suit?

    I can't agree there. Icons was vastly SUPERIOR because the figures had double jointed knees and elbows, ankle pivots, interchangeable hands, and sculpted on emblems.

    Not to mention Green Arrow's bow did not have an arrow molded to it and it has an actual string attached to it (although a pretty shitty string that broke just by looking at it wrong).

    The smaller size miffed me...as did the seemingly brittle plastic...but YMMV.

    Extremely disappointed that the Icons series never got around to the 3 Gotham City Sirens. Harley and the unreleased Catwoman looked great, and I can only imagine how amazing an Icons Poison Ivy would have been.
