DC Collectibles at 2015 Toy Fair

DC Collectibles was another company that brought their A game at this years Toy Fair. From the highly successful Batman: The Animated Series line, to the Designer Series, to the Icons Series, to the Arrow TV Series figures there is certainly A LOT to be excited about this year.

The figures in the Icons series look beautiful. I will be very tempted to buy a lot of them this year. I also love the Batman: The Animated Series line. So far, I only have Mr. Freeze, but that is going to change this year. I particularly like the figures for Bane and the Penguin. Also, the new Batmobile looks sick!

Unfortunately, due to us deciding to go to Toy Fair at the last minute we didn't secure an appointment with DC Collectibles. We made it to the booth, but it was quite crowded and because of that we didn't get as many pictures as we would have hoped to take. See below for just a little taste of what we got to see.

1980's Super Powers Collection

Super Powers:  Old vs New

Hey everyone. I hope all is well in the toy collecting world! We wanted to talk about the 1980's Super Powers line and what figures we all had as kids.  Also, we wanted to compare the newer line that pays homage to these wonderful, classic figures! I think everyone, including me, had a Superman figure when we were growing up and most likely a Batman figure as well.  I had them both along with Aquaman, Firestorm, Green Lantern, Dr Fate, Darkseid, Wonder Woman and a few others.  Starting to bring back those wonderful 80's memories yet?

I have now collected 26 figures from this line. There are some others I just haven't bought yet because I am waiting for the right price.  Below is a picture from my vintage collection of the classic figures from the DC Comics line! Who was your favorite from this line when you were growing up?

I have also started to collect the DC Universe figures from the past few years because I think they do the old figures justice!  My most recent figure was the Darkseid Build a Figure who is a beast and towers over all of them.  I believe the new line is very close to the original figures just with better detail. 

So based off your experience and the pictures which line would you rather own?  Would you prefer the classic smaller figures or the larger, more detailed figures recently made?

We hope you enjoyed the pictures and we would like to hear your stories about these wonderful figures we all love!  Make sure to leave a comment or contact us on Twitter @cobrashadowjoes
