Sideshow 1/6th DC figures from SDCC

[Gorn Captain]

And Batman and Catwoman look great, too!

I think they look terrific, especially the Batman and Supes. It's way overdue for this kind of toy.

However, I won't be buying them, mostly cause the 1/6th scale isn't my preferred format (hence this website). It does give me hope that the DC license can perhaps be farmed out to smaller company to make mego style figures using the EMCE body.

WOW, those are GORGEOUS!! I'm a Marvel guy, and even I may have to take the plunge on those. I'd kill for 1:6 Marvel figures like that. Hopefully they're coming soon. I'm so sick of Hasblo's Marvel Puniverse figures.

Out of all of them Catwoman looks the best.

I think the figure looks good, but, man, I just don't care for that version of Catwoman. I like Catwoman in a long skirt split way up there. Yeah, I'm old-fashioned.

I'd like to see a close up of the Batman head. He looks a little grim to me. But I love the look of the costume and the fact that its got a blue/black look.

Had Mattel done that in the first place, they might have actually sold a lot of figures...and the line would still be going strong. I know I would have bought them by the case load.

What's the price point going to be on these?

I think the tag next to the figure states $180... Hopefully my astigmatism may betray me pleasantly and is $130 instead. If anyone with 20/20 can tell please LMK. Thanks!

Wow, at $180, there's no way I'll ever collect these. That's a Hot Toys price, and I won't pay that much for a line where actor likenesses and film-accurate costuming isn't required. $125 would feel about right, anything more is excessive, IMO. Not that there isn't quality evident in these, I just wouldn't pay that much for a comic-based figure line.
Of course, I'm already heavily invested in DC Direct's 13" line, having customized about 30 figures (in addition to what DCD gave us), so I'm really not interested in starting another line from scratch.

[warlock664]

Also, having just looked closely at those pics, and I believe they read "$TBD", or "price to be determined", not $130 or $180. So there's hope, I suppose. But seeing as how the retail price on the last DC Direct figures (from what, 2+ years ago?) was $125, I don't hold out much hope of them being any less than $150.

Damn astigmatism! Thanks!
