Does anyone have more information on this line?

It was shown on Instagram as part of the Toy Fair reveals. 4" DC figure with comic book for $10. Sounds like a perfect line to get started with but don't have any information on when/where it might be available or who was shown other than Flash.

Todd showed off Batman (of course), Superman, Flash and Black Adam prototypes (I think they're 6 POA) and other than that list everything you listed is all that's known right now.  The proto packaging didn't look very finished so I doubt they'll show up before the fall resets.

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

I want to know the size of the figures. They appear to be smaller than 4" and may even be smaller than 3.75". McFarlane may like to play in a scale all his own.

Watching that video they just look like 3" to me.

According to overseas listings the Page Popper figures are 3.75".

Found the 4 launch figures on an endocarp at Target today. Clear clamshell packaging highlighting the comic inside.

The figures are SMALL. Basically they are what used to packed into the DC animated movie packages with 5 poa. Now that I've seen them live and in person, I'm disappointed and will pass on the line. I'll pick up a character or 2 here and there depending on character selection, but these are not the droids I'm looking for.

 

😥

I just saw Shartimus Prime's review of the Batman figure.  They are tiny.  He measured Batman at 3 inches.  They do look really good, especially for the size but, again, they are tiny.  I imagine Todd had to go that small or it would infringe on Spin Master's license.

Rumor list at TNI (no pics):

3" Joker, Hal, Nightwing and Flashpoint Batman

7" Flash, Captain Cold (with Gold Label variant), Heat Wave, Atom (Ryan Choi), (Mega) Grodd, Injustice 2 Green Arrow, Injustice 2 Batman, Injustice 2 Dr. Fate and Injustice 2 Supergirl (Injustice Supergirl and no "normal" version... *sigh*...)

I passed on the first 4 due to their size and I'll probably pass on the next 4 as well. However, I can see myself getting a Flash and Hal/GL and being happy with those.

If the line continues and starts to include some more obscure characters, I'd buy in selectively.

If he does a nice Neal Adams Green Arrow I'll get that and I'd consider a Supergirl depending on the costume.  The Atom would be a good one, you could say it was "life-size"...

I"m just afraid the line will be tied to big "event" comics and we will end up with the same variants we always get with one new figure at best.

 

But with that in mind...

Supergirl needs to go with the original Crisis

Parallax for Final Night

Batman Who Laughs (because of course) with Metal

Green Arrow with Longbow Hunters (although that is decidedly not retail/kiddie friendly)

 

Suggest some more
