MisterPL Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 DAMN IT! It seems like everyone else is getting a shot at 2-inch DC Comics figures but DST. Quote
hellpop Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 What's the point? I don't get why, if you like Super Powers, you'd want a figure that size. But I have the same question about the giant ones, so I guess I'm not the target audience. What I don't get is why Mattel or DCC don't just revive Super Powers and make new figures in that scale and style. Who wouldn't want, say, Super Powers Harley Quinn? Quote
MisterPL Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 I'd take an Atom or a Shrinking Violet in this scale. Likewise I'd be tempted to add a Giganta or Colossal Boy from the giant-sized line to my shelf of original Kenner figures. But I agree, just extend the original line with new characters or different versions of the popular ones. Retro is the trend, isn't it? Quote
karamazov80 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I like gimmicks like this, just like I enjoy the World's Smallest Transformers. I might get these. Quote
MisterPL Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 This has been a sweet gig for GG. Scan Kenner's figures, scale them accordingly, copy the original trade dress and market it. They're essentially officially licensed bootlegs. What gets me is that Warner Bros. Consumer Products seems to be allowing anyone to offer 2-inch figures regardless of style. There might actually be hope that DST could offer DC Minimates. Quote
hellpop Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I still think it's going to happen eventually, if not with the wider DC license, than through the DC Animated license. Hey, maybe they could make Super Powers Minimates? Single carded figures on the old Kenner-style cardbacks? That would be pretty awesome, even if we did get most of the SP characters already. Quote
karamazov80 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm afraid the most we can ever hope for is this Quote
battlecat Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Are these even articulated figures though? I don't think the GI Joe Micro ones were. I only had one or two Super Powers figures as a kid, but I'd love HP's idea to be applied to Secret Wars instead. They actually made a Deadpool in the Jumbo line for SDCC, but it would be pretty rad if they just "continued" that toyline in its original scale. Edited September 19, 2015 by battlecat Quote
karamazov80 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I doubt they are articulated. Otherwise, they would have mentioned it, and the price would likely go way up. Quote
arnim zola Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 The pics look like they have a few points when I looked them up Quote
Shanester Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Apparently these have no moving parts and are not removable from black stand. Quote
