DC Collectibles Reveals DC Comics Designer Greg Capullo Riddler

DC Collectibles has been playing the Spoiler Alert game over the past week, and have revealed the upcoming Riddler figure from the first series of the DC Comics Designer Action Figures line. This one was a tough, but some folks had it guessed from the first teaser.

The first series, based on the designs of Greg Capullo from Batman, is due out in April and May next year. Since this is a guessing game, any ideas about the second series – which book and designer do you think DC Collectibles will feature next?

And here it is! After days of keeping you guessing we can finally reveal the DC Comics Designer Action Figures: Series 1: By Greg Capullo: The Riddler.

NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya Statues

The show’s over, but I’ll have more NYCC galleries over the next couple days.

Kotobukiya is not my typical fare – no budget or space for them – but they produce some of the most beautiful statues from across pop culture domains. They’ve got licenses for movies, video games, comics, and more.

NYCC 2013: Bandai S.H. FiguArts and MonsterArts

If I had a million dollars, I’d probably buy everything that was in the Bluefin booth showcasing Bandai’s action figure offerings. They produce such awesome toys, in particular with the S.H. FiguArts and MonsterArts lines – Godzilla, DragonBall Z, Power Rangers, Sailor Moon… and now Aliens vs. Predator, and even Batman?!

NYCC 2013: Play Imaginative Super Alloy DC Comics New 52 Justice League Update

For the first time in recent memory since Art Asylum produced Minimates for Marvel and DC, Play Imaginative holds licenses for both of the major comic book companies. On the DC front, they are producing Super Alloy diecast figures in 1/6 for the New 52 Justice League. In San Diego, we saw everything up through the new Green Lantern. Here in NY, Yes Anime (Play Imaginative’s US distributor) also brought along Cyborg and Flash.

Folks who pre-ordered Superman around SDCC – Yes Anime reports that after a delay in Singapore, Play Imaginative will be delivering in the next couple of weeks. For NYCC, they had air-shipped about 10 of the Supes for sale at the show. The rest are coming by sea. They were a bit vague on the reasons behind the delay (Superman was expected to ship in the August time frame), suggesting that it was perhaps to put a more powerful fan in the Fortress base and for some resculpting of the Superman heads.

NYCC 2013: Mattel DC Comics Multiverse – Batman and Superman Movies Wave

For as long as there’s been Batman and Superman figures, collectors have been asking for figures from the classic Michael Keaton Batman and Christopher Reeve Superman films. After the Nolan-verse Batman and Man of Steel Movie Masters, I know collectors were hoping for the expansion of that line, and were further encouraged by the Batman 1966 Classic TV Series figures.

So you can imagine my surprise when Mattel decided to introduce from the Keaton and Reeve movies, but choose to do it in the DC Comics Multiverse 3.75-inch line. And while I think generally speaking, the figures look decent for ones in the small scale, I struggle to shake off the notion that this is not a friendly move towards collectors who supported the movie and TV figures in the existing 6-inch scale.
