DC ESSENTIALS DCEASED 2022

We heard word that McFarlane Toys was going to release items that were in progress at the time DC Direct shut down operations.  First we got official word on the statue front.  Now the action figures are coming.  DC Essentials will be returning to shelves with items originally set to release in late 2020.  DCEASED versions of Superman, Supergirl, The Flash and Harley Quinn are now available to pre-order.

There were four more in addition to this which we saw at Toy Fair 2020, right before the pandemic hit – Batgirl, Red Hood, Deathstroke and Nightwing.  Those were only in the grey prototype stage publicly when things stopped.  Rumor is those will come later on, so stay tuned.  No word yet if the line will continue beyond these in-progress items.

All of these are at the 6.75 inch scale, slightly smaller than what McFarlane puts out at 7 inch.  But they do work together on shelf in most cases.  Retail is $29.99 each, with a ship date of April 2022.

Hit our sponsors below, you can read on for official pics and details!  Of note – listings are still going up, check in at your retailer of choice over the next 24 hours or so.

DCEASED McFarlane

It looks like McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figures are going strong into year three of the license.  Thanks to Philippines based store DDC-PPP we have listings for items due through May of 2022.  There is a lot to parse here, but key points are that DC Collectibles / Direct action figures look to be getting distribution through McFarlane Toys, similar to how they started offering statues this past year.  Specifically the Essentials style DCEASED line.  There were also 6 inch Batman The Animated Series / New Adventures / Adventures Continue figures in progress or done that never got released from DCC/D before they shut down, so even though they aren’t listed here, they look to be a possibility down the road.  Good news for collectors of that line.

Check out the listings below.  There are no official pics, release dates or descriptions available at this time, so keep in mind things may change before they are officially revealed via McFarlane Toys.  Thanks to BarbaraGordon on the Toyark Forums for the heads up!

DC Direct Banner

DC FanDome takes place in just under two weeks. The event is set to be one of the largest celebrations of the DC Comics brand that has ever taken place. Excitement was running high, with promises of new trailers, new comic story arcs, new collectibles, and new castings for movie and TV shows. However, after today’s events, the online convention is going to have a much different feel.

Word is coming out that there have been a massive number of lay offs at Warner Bros. today. Nearly every division of the company has been hit hard, and DC Comics was no exception. Many talented folks at DC Comics have been let go, and the cuts may not be over. In the restructuring, DC Universe looks to be on the way out, with content being moved to other platforms such as HBO Max and the CW. While much of the focus is on the print and digital divisions of DC Comics, we’re heartbroken to share news that DC Direct has been shuttered in the lay offs.

From THR:
Also a victim of the layoffs: DC Direct, the company’s in-house merchandise and collectibles manufacturer. The division has been shuttered after 22 years, another move that was rumored when Warner Bros. Consumer Products began taking a more active role in DC merchandising.

The toy and collectible division of DC Comics has been around for some 22 years. In 2012 the division was rebranded as DC Collectibles. However, ahead of New York Toy Fair 2020, they brought back the DC Direct name that many fans were familiar with. At Toyark, we have been covering DC Direct since our launch in 2008. We’ve loved covering their assorted action figures, statues, and replicas over the years. We want to express our condolences to all who are affected by the layoffs. We hope the talented designers, managers, sculptors, and other members of DC Direct find a new place to share their talents soon. Check the links below for more comprehensive breakdowns of the layoffs.

x Batman The Adventures Continue 99

DC Direct, formerly DC Collectibles, and formerly before that DC Direct, have been producing 6 Inch Batman Animated universe figures since 2014.  They’ve run through the eras including Batman The Animated Series (BTAS) and The New Adventures of Batman (TNBA).  They also snuck in some figures from the Superman and Justice League cartoons, since they used the same animation DNA.  They are firing things back up and producing new figures under the title Batman The Adventures Continue (BTAC).  This is an extension of the Batman Animated universe in storyline and toy form, featuring new characters and looks that never appeared in the original series.  There is an ongoing digital comic that is also getting compiled into book form featuring the story.

DC Direct doesn’t do traditional waves per say, but today we are looking at “Round 2” of figures.  This includes new repaints of BTAS Joker and Robin, along with newcomers Deathstroke and Super Armor Batman.  They are due to drop soon, with more coming later this year and next.  Read on to check out some quick thoughts and our in-hand pics courtesy of DC Direct!
