I wish I could just haunt Howard Chan like a Dickensian ghost and be like “bro, do you have any idea how much money you’re actively LOSING by not making comic DC figures? Seriously. Whole ass lines at $200 a pop. We’re talking Alex Ross. We’re talking Jose Luis-García Lopez.”
I’m sorry, but I feel like this could sell like hot cakes:

…or a Ross Justice line in 1/6th:

I don’t think they realize how many people are comic fans and actively *want* this stuff and what I can’t understand, even more than that, is how they don’t recognize the precedent. MAFEX has basically created their own cult with the comic/artist based stuff and, in the case of Ross, you have third parties like SSR Toys making it in 1/6th, licensed companies like Gong Toys making 1/12th Kingdom Come figs, and, within a year, both Iron Studios and Prime 1 making Justice statues in larger scales.
I wish they’d take note like they did when Prime1 went all-in on Arkham Knight in 1/3rd scale and we got that ramping up of video game figures (at least, until we get to Nightwing), but I doubt it.
