Toy Fair 2017: DC Collectibles

Toy Fair is an annual trade show where hundreds of toy companies get together to showcase their latest innovations for buyers and press. The following is a photo recap from the DC Collectibles booth. To see the rest of our coverage, click HERE.

It is no surprise that the majority of items featured in the DC Collectibles booth were related to characters appearing in JUSTICE LEAGUE, WONDER WOMAN, and SUICIDE SQUAD. One of the most impressive items was a beautifully sculpted statue depicting Harley Quinn and Batman fighting atop a runaway roller coaster. This piece is notable not only for the extreme detail but also for something it doesn’t include: Mr. J. Sure the Joker’s face appears on the coaster cart but it is quite refreshing to see a statue depicting a showdown just between Bats and Harley, and her pet hyenas Bud and Lou.

Wonder Woman was also prominently featured, including statues from comics, and her standalone film, as well as from JUSTICE LEAGUE. While I am not a big fan of how Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor looks in statue form, I think Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is best represented in that two-piece statue.

The Batman and Superman statues from JUSTICE LEAGUE are both highly detailed but I do not think either is as dynamic as the set DC Collectibles released for BATMAN v. SUPERMAN. However, if I did not already own the previous statues, I would definitely pick these up since Batman’s new look is fantastic and Superman’s pose is fairly iconic. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about The Flash, as his awkward stance ruins what could have been a great piece.

On the figure front, the clear standout was a special edition set of Superman Vs. Doomsday, complete with a ton of accessories to recreate the iconic fight. The tattered cape flag and “Krakadoom” onomatopoeia word bubble really put it over the top.

Other highlights include a pretty spot on SUPERGIRL (TV show) statue, a few more bombshells, a menacingly creepy Killing Joke statue, and a working Bat signal that will surely be at the top of my Christmas list next year.
