boyd Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 From the August Previews listings, and offered without comment: Funky. Chunky. Fun. Real compact – with real impact! BLAM! A funky, chunky collection of boldly designed toys that pack a lot of punch in squatty body! POW! A striking, hyper-stylized twist on the world’s greatest heroes and their biggest foes. Too tough to call small – you’ll want to collect them all! Packaged on a blister card, each measures approximately 2.5” to 4” tall with three points of articulation. SERIES 1: Batman Green Lantern Sinestro Firestorm The Joker Aquaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Has anyone seen the episode of South Park when the little person comes to talk the kids about bullying? I feel exactly like how Cartman did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi I am the head of DCD I would just like to let all the DC Comics fans know that I am interested in your opinions. I know you all loved DCD Minimates and when they got canceled, I found this would be a great replacement. I am positive these will be more commercially successful and are not fugly at all.

3Dean Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They all have extremely large groin areas... Since we know these are what are replacing DC MiniMates, I can't judge them on their own. If they were just another crazy DC Direct product, I could just pass them up and move on with my life. But since these REPLACED DC MiniMates, I'm torn up. I can't believe Georg Brewer still has a job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are worse than the fugly Dark Knight keychain things that showed up last year. WOW DC Direct.......... YOU SUCK!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Oh my gosh! those look terrible, they're just ugh, how can thse replace dc minimates, I mean c'mon! but alas, I might end up buying that sinestro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I... But... ... The only "real impact" I see these having is if someone throws them at someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I... ...what? so these are real? If I had a child, and they'd made one of those at school for art class, i'd be ashamed of them. I, for one... will certainly not want to collect them all. (OK, Hal nearly looks cute) These should never exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah, these are hip… If my comic shop, for some reason, does decide to carry these, I might buy the Sinestro out of pity. But even that is still a long shot. On second thought, no. I'd rather save that money for DST and Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Uhhh... I don't get these. Hal nearly looks cute... until you finish looking at him. These kind of remind me of a really bad experience in high school. Kids, do NOT "experiment" while watching the Super Friends. They may look harmless, but they're cannibals.

buttheadsmate Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I wasn't sure about these until I realised Boyd (silly ol' Boyd ) had posted the picture upside down. I'm serious ! Give it a few seconds & these do really look ...............better ......notice the one-eared smiling Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Wow - i'm about to become even less popular . . . But i kind of like some of them. Not as figures, but as the kind of cool, indy, vinyl, designer toys. I wouldn't buy them as figures - but i'd probably get myself that sick, twisted looking little joker to have on my shelf. The last range of blocky DC figures really didn't impress me. They were like lame versions of Muggs. These are creepy & unique enough to be interesting. Please don't hit me . . . .

These replaced DC Minimates? HAHAHAHAHAHA! It looks like Sinestro got kicked in his giant crotch! I may have to buy one just so I can have a Minimate kick it in the crotch! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

murderofcrows Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 these are the best thing to happen for minimates. think about it, when these are a HUGE failure, douche bag George will be like, huh...maybe minimates were a better idea after all. I mean I get where they are trying to go with these, DC vinyl... but shit, these are not even toys...3 points of articulation? 20 bucks a piece? are you high? if this doesn't bring back minimates nothing will. moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
