Mattel DC Figures

That would probably depend on what they're able to show at this point, with the transition from McFarlane to Mattel.

Also, Toy Fair is a trade show. It's primarily for retail buyers, not us. There's not much point in showing off stuff that retail's going to have to wait on.

The press is there, too.

I like that John Stewart. I'll buy it to put the accessories on the inevitable much better version.

Yeah, I'm glad to have it confirmed that we're getting accessories to that extent. The WWE line at that price point doesn't typically have them, but a superhero line without them doesn't really work. He's got more with him than I had expected.

The Mattel collector line won't be out till next year. I highly doubt they show anything at this weekend's Toy Fair. They may not even show actual figures at SDCC. Certainly, they'll reveal at least the first wave of collector figures at a SDCC panel though.

Correct.

It's not just about what they'd theoretically have -available- to show, as much as it is about what they are -legally allowed- to advertise. I'd pretty much guarantee they are not currently allowed to show off the collector product even if they wanted to and had it available to show.
 
I really like the headsculpts here, at least, which is what matters most to me. The swappable faces included in the Joker figure intrigues me as well, I wonder if that will carry over into the collector's line? The accessories in general are great. If they can make the lantern constructs compatible with the collector's line, it'll definitely be worth picking up any Lantern they do in the "Basics" toyline.

Why don't Origins figures have this level of accessories when they're around $20 now?
