Action Figure DC Collectibles - DC Comics Icons 6 inch Series

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The thing with articulation is, I don't mind limited articulation on a character that's not very dynamic, like Gordon, but Batmen and Superman and such NEED all the articulation they can get.

I initially HATED the Romita Jr. costume, BUT!.... They're not gloves dude they're just like longer sleeves I'm up for a less paneled and cloth version of the suit.

I know, that Rags Morales Supes is long overdue.

I like Jim Lee's style for sure, but I hate his designs, the only one that makes sense to me is Batman's, that one's awesome, the panels work for him.

Not just a new costume. Apparently he has a new power too, it must be
shape-shifting because he looks like Jackie Chan now

Romita's art takes a bit to be digested if you're used to conventional art for sure, but it's got a lot of qualities to it.

Btw that new power, is awesome, DC's taking a turn in the right direction lately, they're even dropping the new 52 tag (not rebooting).

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The inclusion of "chains" with the Icon Superman has me wondering if the alternate expression isn't a "Kryptonite Nevermore"-esque screaming sculpt.

As far as the designer series goes, though. Francis Manapul would be the one that I'd bite for. I love that guy's artwork.

I'm hoping the second sculpt is a smile...he's already serious. When I think of Sups, I always picture him with a smile. I'm not familiar with Francis Manapul' work. Does he draw Batman or Superman? And which one are you talking about...that you would get based on his art work?

 

[EVILFACE]

Nicely done and detailed.

But they have dead expressions.

 

[GasparZizou]

I like Manapul when he doesn't draw painted on costumes.

Yeah, I saw that. So now it's just current 52? Or just 52 and everything before that is pre 52? Makes sense, how long could they go on calling it "new"? It's been a few years now

 

[GasparZizou]

people will probably continue to call it new 52 but yeah, the tag is gone

And they seem to be doing a lot of changes for the better, for instance, we're getting a Martian Manhunter series FINALLY! I can't say I want a Shazam series because new Billy Batson is a big ******.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

My favorite Sups is probably this one, by John Byrne.

 

[GasparZizou]

Byrne's classic fo sho.

I don't think I can pick a "favorite" style, but the ones that come close to that for me are Frank Quitely, Alex Ross and Bruce Timm.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yeah, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Another one of my favorites if Gary Frank. He did something that no one ever thought of doing, he just draws Christopher Reeve.

 

[GasparZizou]

I would put Gary Frank higher on my list but I just don't like painted on costumes and he does that often, other than that I can't hate on 2D Reeve

And we were forgetting

Of course, they'll kill the line before they do Wonder Woman.

Yup What do you mean by painted on? Is that the costume doesn't look like real cloth and they look painted on?

 

[GasparZizou]

Yes, that's what I mean, when you can see the six pack and every fiber of muscle through the suit, I've never liked that except in early eras.

I like wrinkles and folds and the fact that the characters aren't nekkid

You see how the t-shirt looks on Superman in the pic above? That's perfect for me.

 

[Knightstalker]

Harley looks fantastic!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

She sure does.

 

[GasparZizou]

Nice, I like her body type and the head came out nicely

 

[GasparZizou]

Holy crap they look fantastic

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I can't see those pics for some reason

 

[GasparZizou]
