The Essentials Cyborg Superman and Supergirl look really cool, it would be cool if they get around to make an Eradicator and a 90s Superboy.
DC Collectibles is slowly dying for me. They put out more statues than figures for me and as cool as the essentials line is its just too big and too expensive for each figure. $27 is just too much for a 7 figure and most of them to only come with a minimum of one accessory. Wish they kept going with Icons and just added an extra half inch to them.
I'm glad to see the Batman Animated line is continuing. Outside of that I'm not sure I was over the top excited about anything they showed this year. The Cheetah/Wonder Woman and Cyborg/Superman will be a buy, but I'm just not sure how much I expect from this essentials line. I'd be more excited about it if I felt more certain that the line had legs.
That Cheetah looks excellent, but Wonder Woman...does not. It's a shame that they just can't get her right in this line (and I'm still sore about the DCFilms Wonder Woman never being released, even as a one-off when her solo movie was on fire). Cyborg Superman looks awesome as well.
Has Green Lantern dropped off the map? We haven't seen him in a while. Seems like he got bumped for Joker and Harley.

I dont collect statues and it seems DCC is slowly moving away from figures to making just statues, I was hoping to see more of the essentials wave, those lucha libre figures look nice but not really my thing.
It wouldn't be DC Collectibles Walkthrough without the great Jim Fletcher!
Thanks JayC!
I do like the updated improvements to the BTAS figures. Getting better as it gets older, like a lot of us!
To the BTAS fans out there pay attention to the new articulation scheme incorporated to the new figures.I didn't noticed that yesterday and, man I am excited!
Well guys...no Jim Fletcher this year unfortunately, but still, @PixelDangot a walkthrough the DC Collectibles booth. Come check it out!
