DC Icons is my favorite line of figures based on this comics property. The scale and sculpt are what made it so difficult for me to accept McFarlane's DC Multverse.
Great love letter to this line. Kept up with this line. Still have them in my display over DC collectibles (which was a great line too). The head joint should have been better but the accessories were awesome. Plus having an accessory pack was very cool as well. Great video.
Thank you for making this video. I been wanting to collect these figures but it might be late for me. There a little too much for me although I’m an opener. Thank you again. God Bless.
Another thing, I wouldn´t give too much tought of the character selection and the reasoning for them. Check out the first Waves when Mattel had the line. Red Tornado, Metamorpho and Etrigan were chosen then.
*I still have some dc icons, collectibles, & essentials brand new still in box! unopened from mostly superman & Wonder Woman action figures because those 2 were my fav.! 😭😭🙌 especially as a couple! new 52 period was just glorious tbh! and their figures were something else too!*
From these figures I got Green Lantern. Sadly the transparent plastic made it so the connecting piece would break. And I'm will get at some point Firestorm. I love the characters and I think that modern version (out with the puffy sleeves) is incredible.
I’ve still got Icons Hal on display with Mafex Hush Batman and Superman. He’s a little small, but that’s hidden easy enough with posing. Wish I hadn’t got rid of Damian. He goes for an arm and a leg now. They could’ve done a ton with the line, I’m not sure why they gave up on it so easily.
dc icons was supposed to be Marvel legends (toybiz/ hasbro) main competition. DC Universe Classics was seen as inferior to marvel legends (Hasbro). dc icons could have been great if it had more time to expand its line up.
Really nice video! I truly think this line died due to scaling. It was way too small and the articulation isn’t very good. Plus paint was kinda bad. Sculpt was the best, though. Now that reminds me of McFarlane. 🤔
Clearly I am alone in this but I love how the females scale compared to the generally accepted size standard of Marvel legends.. Women are generally shorter than most men so when I look at Marvel legends women being the same height it annoys me to the point I have modified some to try to get them in scale out of desperation... .. But icon women (excluding wonder woman) are flawless in their scale.. That Catwoman would have been the best ever. . That Harley is the best in 1:12 scale hands down. And her zize/ scale is the key to that..

Great video! Really good job, man! You got a new subscriber!
Excellent job ❤😂
Great documentary! DC Icons was the best!
This was great! Miss that line and just wish the changes implemented towards the end had gone through sooner
Thank you! I should have touched on that increased size more in the video but like you say it was a bit too little too late anyways.
Excellent video!
I hate that they killed off this line before it really started to flourish. Their Catwoman and Deadshot looked so promising 😔
That's still my favorite Harley quinn figure, she's perfect
Great video !!!!
I love these type of comprehensive videos. Keep it up! Are you going to do the transition From DC Sirect to DC Collectibles?
Not sure when but I plan on covering all DC lines at some point. Thanks for watching!

I didn’t collect this line cause of the scale. I also find many of the head sculpts to be terrible
