Well, I guess this is where I find out exactly what I'm NOT willing to go through with a line. Until these are available to the average person through a non-scalper, non-eBay route, I'm not buying. I went NUTS for DCIH and tracked down darned-near every figure, and I'm not going through that again ever.

These look awesome, I'd love to buy them, but I'm not going to chase them all over the internet or line some reseller's pockets to get them.

Okay, maybe for a 4" Penguin, but that's it.

There we go. Thank you. Hahahahahahaha...

Constanza! Hahahaha. And does anyone else think it would be a great idea for them to start off by doing a playset (Oa, Batcave, Daily Planet) and then a group of figures with each playset? They obviously have GL going, but how about the Batcave with like 10 Batman figures and then moving on to Superman and his people? That would be hard for me to resist.

Besides the facebook page for DC Collectibles

You can also go the Twitter route:
@geoffjohns and @DCCollectibles were the links I just sent my vote to.

This line has me more excited than any other toy news coming out of the con so far.

I truly TRULY hope that DC starts to offer these figures on their site, through Previews, subscription, whatever.

It would be a huge miscarriage for them to limit these to con-goers only.

Change out the accessories if necessary, offer them single carded instead of in 2 packs, whatever, just vote NO to "Con Only"

(maybe we need to get a "movement" started over this like we did to save JLU ...)

Right now I'm just worried about how I am going to get THIS set, let alone future figures. Especially if they are hoping they sell out at the Con. Aren't there any SDCC attendees here who are willing to help out!?!?!?

From the Panel- Via TNI

Good chance they will make the Green Lantern Oa playset on display here at SDCC for their 3.75" figures.

The 3.75" Green Lantern figures shown at the booth are being shown to see how much interest there is in a line. They've talked about doing Batman ones next maybe even with a Batcave playset.

6" scale isn't going away because of the 3.75"

The 3.75" figures if they sell out this weekend, they will go forward. These exclusives are being used to test the market.

However my question is-- Will they be made from the same horrible plastic that they use on all the DC-Direct figures that fall apart and tear at the joints?

Actually, that's just Jay fabricating news for his site as usual... :roll:

Today at the show I spoke with Shawn Knapp, a designer with DC Collectibles. Shawn's a good guy. He said that he hopes to expand the 3 3/4" line, but for right now they can only be sold as convention exclusives. "We have to be respectful of Mattel" he said, and he did not elaborate. I wonder if this means that Mattel is thinking about getting back in the 3 3/4" game? And maybe doing it right this time? They should hire David Vonner if they're going to do that.

And he said they're talking about ways they can get the playset to market. As you may have guessed, they can't get it to "cost out" (You're going to hear that phrase a LOT these days, kids). If they put it out right now as it is it would cost over two hundred dollars. They're thinking about possibly releasing it in pieces, a little at a time or in resin like a statue.
