If like The Blot you’ve been jonzing for more information on Kidrobot’s upcoming line of DC Comics vinyl figures, you’re in luck! Check out this awesome concept art of KR’s soon to be released DC Comics Mini Figures. There’s really not much new information here, as the concept art matches up to the designs Kidrobot had on display at ToyFair 2014 (originally seen here). But boy do these figures look great! Sadly the 3” toy line will be featuring DC Comics’ “New 52” designs, which are generally terrible.
According to the concept artwork above, the DC Comics Mini Figure Series will include Aquaman, Batgirl, Batman, Darkseid, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Ambush Bug, Shazam, Animal Man, Superman, Cyborg, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poinson Ivy.
Surprisingly, this toy line is pretty hero specific, with only one true villain included – Darkseid. I say that because in the “New 52” universe Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poision Ivy are basically considered good guys with their memberships in the Justice League of America, Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey respectively. But where is the love for the ‘90s era Justice League!?! These figures better sell well so I get a second wave of designs featuring Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle and the Martian Manhunter!
