Gotta get that Batman Who Laughs figure. I think this will be the first articulated figure for the character, even though it's animated styling.
All cool stuff, but once again Im going to state my complaint that its supposed to be DC Collectibles and not Batman Collectibles. Batman and Superman can sell just fine at retail and other mainstreamoutlets. We dont need a niche Collectibles company to get those characters product out there. Yet here we are with the breakdown of the reveals being 85% Batman, 10% Superman, and 5% other top tier JLA type characters.
Not caring much fr these new BTAS style figures, except for the Flashpoint Batman. I am also very excited for this Alex Ross Batman. I guess I'll finally cave and buy a statue. Also I must confess that that The Return of Superman figurelooks tempting Wondering if they will make the one with the mullet.
Those DCeased figs are a must buy for me. I hope they actually get released. DC Collectibles/DC Direct has a history of showing us great figures but never end up releasing them.
And the Black Suit Superman is a definite buy for me as well. I just the DC Icons Doomsday vs Superman was in this scale. And with this version of Superman, could we get the other Reign of Superman figures? I would like updated versions of Steel, Superboy and Eradicator. I would mind a reworked head sculpt of Cyborg Superman while they're at it.
Agree the Essentials look lazy. DC Direct/Collectibles used to do a better job offering unique scuplts that capture artists' comic book designs. Seems lately they're saving that for their statue lines.
Also... 15 of 19 items are Batman or Batman related. They should just rename themselves to Batman Collectibles instead of DC Collectibles.

I mean "speedforce flash"? If they did a Black Flash for instance they could have reused everything aside from the head. And for $25-30 figures, one new part isnt too much to ask for in my opinion.
DCeased is a nice touch but they look kinda plain too, only 2 new headsculpts for Bats and Supes(Joker might be slightly different too but i think its just the paint apps). And the rest of the paint apps are kinda boring too, no missing limbs/guts just some redpaint dripped on..
Hopefull McFarlane has some better stuff in store for us.
PS: I might recall this wrong but I think only Batman and Joker getzombified in DCeased, the others dont so its odd they follow this route. (Also Harley has her more modern outfit on in the comic)

Ok, "DCeased" is just great, love it! Will be getting the Batman and Joker for sure! That Flash is unusual, I like him.
The Essential line may still have life.
