That's about the same amount that the animated Batman figures go for, and they are loaded with accessories.

These look really nice. I personally can't see getting into a new 6" DC line, since DCUC is still taking up much of my shelf space, but I'll definitely pick some up to fill out the ranks there.

Oh, and by the way: Lex Luthor is in the Justice League?!

I'll reiterate what I said on Facebook... these look GREAT, but... I don't NEED them enough to replace the perfectly serviceable DCUC and DC Direct/Collectibles versions I already have, with a few possible exceptions... namely Batman and MAYBE Harley, when I see her.

Now... give me Lex, in a business suit. Give me a smug but benevolent head with an open "handshake" hand and an alternate cackling evil head with alternate green kryptonite ring wearing fist. Give me all of that, icons or animated, and we'll be in business. Bonus points if he's in a two pack with Mercy

I'd kinda like DC to stick out a line and get everyone done in it. I'm a bit over seeing the same 7 or 8 characters make it out with a few b or c listers before they change to a new line with a new scale & new sculpting style.

Here's hoping this line goes the distance.

I see what you're saying, but... DCUC and DC Direct both did an admirable job of getting us a decent selection. It has just been this Total Justice line that seems to be stalling.

And personally, it is my belief/hope that some of these Icons will be able to stand alongside the two earlier lines if the right figures get made

I am not buying these but the bigger the line gets, the better it looks. This is what DC Direct should have offered when they first started, something comprehensive and in a single style. Then again I'd be SO out of room by now. Some of the accessories are pretty inspired. I'm wondering when they'll start offering vehicles larger than Batgirl's motorcycle.

I've got GL, Flash, Green Arrow, and Mr Miracle (I posted pics of them in this thread, but they were lost during the changeover), and I'm definitely tempted by some of the more recent figures.  It's a little hard to keep up with the releases if I'm honest.  Definitely keeping an eye out for the Static figure.
