Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
You know what? All things considered: I’m okay with it. My biggest concern with this sort of corporate restructuring is and always will be how it affects the people who work there, but, when it comes to products? I love DC Collectibles; hell, I grew up with them. As a kid who hung around a comic book store, seeing DC Direct stuff at a time when the word of the day in Mass Market toys was “ice luge Batman,” their stuff blew my mind. For nostalgia’s sake, I’ll miss them, and it’s sad to see over 20 years of history fall by the wayside.
When it comes to this line, specifically, though, I feel like they’re going out on a good note. I wanted a Batcycle: we’re getting a Batcycle. I wanted Two-Face and Scarecrow: we’re getting both. I wanted the Gray Ghost: WE’RE GETTING THE GRAY ****ING GHOST. Is there a part of me that’s sad we most likely won’t see extensions of the DCAU? Absolutely. I would still kill to see Superman’s show given the same attention as this line, but they finished strong and, say what you will about their JL figures, but, at least, they got the entire main line-up out there.
This was a great line and I would love to see McFarlane pick up the pieces and create something that, at the very least, stands side-by-side with it, but I imagine they have their own ideas about where they’ll take the license and so, let’s all pour one out for the Batman Animated line: it was fun while it lasted.
No wonder DCC is on life support.
Let's hope they will post soon something about it!
