Nicely done, love the ADVENTURE PEOPLE ASTRONAUT in the lower right corner. If there is a way I can purchase the poster and booklet, please lmk, I find it incredibly cool and what’s even more fun is the fact that I have a good amount of those figures. You guys did a great job, I like the customized Polly Pocket for your friend Lucy. If you can’t, I totally understand. Cool article.

That’s freakin’ awesome, Dan! Now how do I purchase one to hang in our studio?

Gmamon- this project was actually completed before DCUC. One poster was sent out per quarter last year and we were the last. So the poster has actually been done for a while! But, yes, there are plenty of worth figures not represented.

Its really cool and all but I cant believe there isn’t a DC Universe Classic.

It’s an internal piece, not for resale. I imagine only vendors will actually get a copy.

This is a common practice; just the other day I used U2′s “Beautiful Day” in a 2 minute promo, because no one would see it outside of our team.

Very cool, but how did you get the rights to using all those characters on an advertising poster?

What a fun little (not so little on your end) project!

It must have been a real blast throwing ideas around with others. Oh, how we take these little toys so seriously!

Thanks for the post!

Hey Dan, that’s beautiful. As a designer myself, I’d love one of those as well!

Hourman – good call. I sold all my 8″ MEGO’s a couple years ago. I tried to make up for it by throwing a couple Comic Action Heroes in.

Honestly, though, if I had it to do again it’d probably be a different 100 figures. You don’t know how many times I was like: “Oh, dang, why didn’t I put in So-and-So?!”

Thanks for all the positive feedback folks!

Great poster BUT not room for even one World’s Greatest Superheroes Mego figure? =(

Love it, Dan! Not only am I impressed that you were able to get the idea off the ground, but the execution is flawless. I’d buy that if I saw it in a store tomorrow.
