ToyFair 07: DCD 13" Figures!

[Darklord Dave]

Apparently the one in black will be a short packed version - 1 of that for every 4 of the other.

 

[screamingmetal]

Damn now that looks good! I'll now have to get a Batman figure to go with her.

I guess the black costume is an "incentive variant" available to retailers at a ratio of 1:4. For every 4 blue/grey Batgirl figures ordered, retailers may order one black version. I'm not thrilled with variants and incentives being introduced into the line but I want the blue/grey version anyways.

I wonder if you took apart one and placed it on an HT Body whether or not it'd work....the Head would be larger but then so are Sideshow's right? Interesting....

 

[Wooter]

Wow. That Batgirl is freakin' sweet. That is probably gonna be one of the nicer looking DCD 13" figures. The body isn't too bad looking for her. Could care less about the Variant. From what I recall, the closest she ever was to that all black costume was in ThrillKiller which looks nothing like that. The only drawback will be her being the same size as Catwoman, Wonder Woman, etc... as long as they do what they did for the males and just use one body. But still. Wow.

 

[Batty]

Batgirl looks great. I would rather have the blue and gray version.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I'm going to have to have both. Hopefully there will be some pics of her with Batman or Nightwing so we can see scale. They wouldn't be stupid enough to make her a full 13" would they?

 

[King Darkness]

I like the classic Batman, but something looks a little off. Like his legs are to short or something. I'm sure its just the pic though.

And Batgirl looks pretty damn good!

Not that you can really tell scale, but the DCD 13" Catwoman looks ginormous. Probably because of the tiny head. But hopefully a comparatively small, slim female like Bab's won't be as tall as Batman. Hopefully. I cetainly hope the female bodies aren't 13". I guess it would work when they get around to Big Barda.

Nice looking figure. I'm looking forward to this. It's a nice compliment to the late silver age Batman. I like that she's wearing heels and carrying a purse because that's what (60's) Batgirls do, ya know.
I could care less about the black costume, so for a change it's a variant I won't be chasing down. If they wanted to do a variant I don't know why they wouldn't of used the purple suit from the TV or dark blue from the comics. that one likely would have been worth chasing for a lot of fanboys, me included.
It also looks to be the most proportionately correct figure to date of either sex. I hope this is a trend.
Interesting to see what will be next in female figures. No Wonder Woman or Supergirl yet. Makes you wonder what the jointing on the base bodies look like when two very popular characters don't make the first cut.

I don't recall seeing this posted: https://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/003413952.cfm A little more coverage from Wizard. I like the way Batman looks in the pic.. This really looks like a winner to me.
Also in a larger higher resolution image "Black" Batgirl may turn out to have a dark gray bodysuit. Can't really say. They have a picture of the female base body now. It's 3/4 shot avoiding showing the legs. Hmmmm.
Anyway I see a ton of DCD stuff that looks interesting in 1/12th and 13" sizes. Also showing pics of the new Marvel Toys "Legendary Comics Heroes" and I want Conan and Judge Dredd now. I need to stop looking at everything.

My interest in these is primarily for bash material and customs. The Superman I picked up measures in right at 13 and 1/2 inches tall, which in 1/6th scale equals 6 foot 9. There are several actors who are that tall, but none that can pull off the build on the DC figures. The DC figure is to tall to do a true 1/6th Hulk Hogan or Lou Ferrigno, who could fit the body type, but not the height (both 6'5' = 12 7/8ths in 1/6th). I have been hoping to get ahold of a few of the SS tall bodys used on Jaws and Kurgan, but can't afford what those figs are selling for, just to bash them into something else. Whoever came up with the idea at DC for this scale figs needs their head examined.

Figures.com has some photos up of the display, you can slightly make out the scale of Catwoman and the others in the background here:

Here's the full gallery:

The females look slightly smaller, maybe by a half inch.
I'll see if I can find another picture that's more level with the figures.

 

[Batty]

Superhero Times has a lot more photos posted. Batman looks great! So does Aquaman. I'm not that crazy about Catwoman. And the Flash's head looks really small on that giant body.

 

[Batty]

Here's a Koto Catwoman that's coming out.

 

[EVILFACE]

That is a perv piece all around.

 

[Natrix]

It looks like they resculpted the bust area on the females based on the Catwoman. Which is good because she looked bizarre in the previous promo pictures. Batgirl/woman looks fantastic as does the Shazam, which should be a production piece. I can't wait for him this week!

Classic Batman rocks too!

Cool Toy Review posted this image.
I think the new DCD Female figures will be unfortunately as tall as the males:
