February 12, 2016: DC Collectibles Announces New Action Figures

DC Collectibles announced the upcoming release of a number of new action figures, including their own line of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" figures, "Man of Steel" figures, and a Jim Lee designed BlueLine Superman action figure.

    DC Collectibles, the exclusive line of toy and collector items from DC Entertainment (DCE), will showcase its exciting 2016 product line-up at New York Toy Fair including a first-ever 6'' premium action figure line based on Warner Bros. recent and upcoming DC films including Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. In addition to the film-inspired line, in 2016 DC Collectibles will introduce a wide array of new statues, action figures and collectible items based on DCE's comic and media properties and feature iconic characters Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, and more.

    The new, ongoing DC films action figure line was created specifically with toy collectors in mind, delving deep into character line-ups and offering up to 40+ points of articulation - the most articulation points ever produced by DC Collectibles.

    "This is the first time DC Collectibles has made action figures based on DC films, and with this much articulation and attention to detail, we're not holding anything back," said Geoff Johns, chief creative officer of DC Entertainment. "Its exciting to see our DC film slate bring to life so many great DC characters, and DC Collectibles is following suit with our action figure line. This line will include everything from Batman to Superman to Wonder Woman, and even the obscure characters that will pop up in the cinematic universe. I can't wait for fans of our films to get their hands on these figures."

    The first wave of DC films action figures will hit stores in Fall 2016 and will include Zod and Faora from Man of Steel and Armored Batman and Superman from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The first Suicide Squad action figures are set to release in 2017.
