Hello, Will there be any new toys or statue of The Penguin from movies or TV shows? I’m a huge fan of the character.:slightly_smiling_face:
Also I just love the Justice League set, that look awesome!

May you explain why the decision to revert back to the DC Direct moniker from DC Collectibles?

I have several questions:

  • DC Direct’s focus as of late seems to be mostly on Batman and related characters. Do you expect to vary things a bit in the near or far future? Perhaps More Superman, Wonder Woman, and other members of the Justice League?

  • Action figure output seems to have gone down a bit recently as well. Does DC Direct have plans for action figures beyond the DC Essentials line?

  • DC Direct has a history of making great action figures based on specific comics or artist renditions. Any plans to revive those efforts? Maybe bring back Designer Series figures?

  • Any plans on bringing back The Man of Steel and The Art of War statue lines for Superman and Wonder Woman, especially for those that missed out the first time around?

I’m a huge fan of The Question, and the only statue ever made of him was the Eaglemoss Super Hero Figurine in 2006. How can I see some more representation for my favorite character?

I’d love to know the process behind artist collaboration. How do you go about collaborating with top comic book talent? Are they super excited to get the opportunity to get a DC statue made? I’m such a huge Jonathan Matthews fan from his sculpting work on the Black & White series. How do you generally match up designers/sculptors with popular comic artists?
(Sorry… such a loaded question)

From initial design to the end of the creation process, how long does a typical collectible take to create? Does the specific type of collectible (statue, action figure, prop, etc.) have a significant impact on the creation timeline?

There are tons of Superman/Batman Beyond/JLU related characters you guys never got to in the DC Collectibles animated line. What are the chances of seeing some of them in the new animated Batman: The Adventures Continue action figure line?

Welcome to the community @jasontodd9.3807 @Darkmovienight @duwelarry!

My question for the folks at DC Collectibles concerns the DC Essentials line. When the line first started, each figure had one small accessory. With the latest wave, there are no accessories. No lanterns for Hal or Sinestro, no whip for Catwoman, etc… What was the deciding factor to pull them from the line, or will future waves have accessories?

Thanks

Any chance on a Gary Frank DC Designer Series statue in the future?

His work on Superman has been legendary and it would be great to see it actualized! Same for Liam Sharp Designer Series for Wonder Woman?

Hey there,
Huge fan of the toyline. Especially the Batman B&W series. Was curious how long the process takes from deciding on an idea, having an artist create it, making a mold, all the way to a finished piece? What’s the fastest you’ve released a series?

PS. Any chance of a Mister Miracle statue anytime soon?

Thanks for reading my question(s)!
