Toy Fair 2015: DC Collectibles Arrow, the Flash, and Arkham Knight

Toy Fair 2015 DC Collectibles Flash and Arrow (1 of 8)

In addition to their awesome lines for BTAS and DC Comics Icons, DC Collectibles is also continuing to support Warner Bros. TV shows and video games. DCC showed off waves of figures for The Flash, Arrow, and the newest Batman video game, Arkham Knight, which is due out in July this year.

While Constantine was represented in other parts of the showroom, the NBC series has not gotten any love yet. And it may not be forthcoming anytime soon, with NBC not extending the first season beyond the original order of 13 episodes, and the decision for a second season or cancellation still in limbo.

Toy Fair 2015: DC Collectibles Batman the Animated Series (including Video Fly-Bys)

Before I got floored by the DC Comics Icons figures, I was visiting the DC Collectibles booth to see the new Batmobile from the Batman the Animated Series line. And it was as impressive as I was hoping.

But DCC also had two more waves of figures and a few more special sets from the line to reveal.

Toy Fair 2015: DC Collectibles DC Comics Icons Will Make You Forget DC Universe Classics

As I was taking pics of DC Collectibles newest line, the super-articulated DC Comics Icons, I overheard one of the DC Collectibles reps describe the line. “Yes, these are 6-inch scaled figures, so we are competing with Mattel!” News flash, DCC rep: DC Universe Classics is already history!

But even if they weren’t I’d wager that this line would give DCUC a run for its money. Even at the $24.99 price tag, the line embraces DC Collectibles aesthetics, with remarkable head and body sculpts – but they also add in the articulation scheme that DCC first tried out on their 3.75-inch figures. This makes for a pretty damn compelling combination.

Toy Fair 2015: LEGO Marvel and DC Super Heroes

Toy Fair 2015 LEGO Super Heroes (43 of 44)

We’ll have a few LEGO posts this morning to kick off our official coverage of Toy Fair 2015. And wow, it’s bitter cold in NYC and LEGO opened the show this morning before I’d normally be going to bed on the West Coast (at least some nights) – so take mercy on me if it’s a rough start.

The Super Heroes licenses with Marvel and DC continue to chug on in 2015. The Marvel side is supported by the Avengers and Ant Man movies, while DC relies on the the mainstays of Justice League and Batman (even the Green Lantern set has got a Space Batman mini-figure.)

Toy Fair 2015: DC Collectibles Unveils Action Figure Line-Up for the Year, Including Batmobile for Batman: The Animated Series Line

Remember way back when we used to ask “How about vehicles?” for our favorite 6-inch lines? It used to be that vehicles were considered too costly to make, but Mattel finally found a way to do it for the Batman 1966 line, and now DC Collectibles will add an animated Batmobile (including LED lights and a sliding hatch for the 2-figure cockpit!) for its 6-inch scaled line for Batman: The Animated Series this year. The solution, of course, was to set a “collector” price tag. The Mattel Batmobile was $50 as a Toys R Us exclusive. We’ll have to wait and see how much the BTAS Batmobile will crush our wallets.

DCC also announced more waves of the BTAS line, including Bane and Nightwing; more from The Flash and Arrow; and a new line of 6=inch action figures called DC Comics Icons, based on the art of Ivan Reis. Should be a good year for DC collectors, even with the void left by the demise of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics.
