What's Your Obsession

Part 2 of 3 DC Direct 2012 updates! I’m saving what I consider the best for last. In this update, the upcoming Just-Us Mad Magazine figures, Spy vs Spy vinyl series, new Ame-Comi announcements including Arisia, Brainiac, Harley Quinn V2, Holiday Catwoman (last 3 not pictures), new Batman Black and White statues including a Darwyn [...]

Next February seems to be a really slow month for DC Direct, makes those rumours about them being taken over seem a little more legit. 2 Ame-Comi repaints, 1 re-released Batman Black and White statue (the rarest one? lots of collectors aren’t going to be happy! that price increase isn’t so hot either), and one [...]

I’m surprised they’re keeping up with the DC Direct Ame-Comi mini figures series, I didn’t realize they were selling decently. This time around it’s Supergirl, Powergirl, and Hawkgirl. Due to be released late September. Pics under the cut.

I’m sure you all remember my general dislike for the Ame-Comi series, though they do occasionally impress. Unfortunately, I’m not liking either of the designs for Big Barda or Wonder Woman…but they’re not hilariously bad either, so I expect some of you will enjoy these ones. Big Barda is by far the better of the [...]

This is getting kinda played out, DC Direct is releasing yet another wave of Ame-Comi figures that are simple repaints of earlier versions, the first Batgirl and the second Catwoman. They’re coming in mid-June with a MSRP of $60.

I’m surprised that DC Direct is keeping the Ame-Comi line so active, but here they are. Mera and Raven, both out in May, MSRP of $70. I saw the Raven at SDCC, she’s pretty good. Not feeling that Mera though.

This could be summed up as the Amazonian and enemies wave, since it’s Wonder Woman, Donna Troy, and Cheetah. Check under the cut for a picture, each comes in at about 5 inches.

I’ve waffled on the DC Direct Ame-Comi line before. Sometimes they’ll have crap, sometimes they’ll have surprisingly strong entries, it’s been very hit or miss. But these repaints are getting old and are obviously a way to make more money from their sculpts. These come in at $60 MSRP and you can see images under [...]

I know being harsh on the DC Direct Ame-Comi statues is played out because so many people do it, but for anyone following this site, you’d know I’ve actually enjoyed some of the designs (especially the recent ones, Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl were cute). But these two, Jesse Quick and Duela Dent, I’m not [...]

This is an interesting choice. Some of the recent DC Direct Ame-Comi statues have been surprisingly good in terms of visual design, but I didn’t think they were popular enough to warrant a line of smaller figures based off of the existing large ones. Not only that, but they’re stylistically done a little different. Interesting [...]
