Action figures

Beginning in 1998 with three figures based on characters from Mad Magazine, DC Direct has released several hundred figures based on popular and obscure characters based on properties published by DC Comics, including those under the Vertigo and Wildstorm imprints. Harvey Kurtzmans cover for the first issue of the comic book Mad Mad is an American humor magazine founded by publisher William Gaines and editor Harvey Kurtzman in 1952. ... Vertigo logo Vertigo is an imprint of comic book and graphic novel publisher DC Comics. ... WildStorm Productions, or simply WildStorm or Wildstorm, is a publishing imprint and studio of American comic book publisher DC Comics. ...


For the first several years, the most recognizable DC characters were not released. Other toy manufacturers had the licenses, and since those agreements predated the formation of DC Direct, there was no clause in the contracts to allow DC to make their own versions.[citation needed] DC Direct focused on lesser-known characters and comic series designed for mature readers such as The Sandman, Preacher, and Transmetropolitan. Since then DC Direct has increased its production of recognizable characters such as Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. Figures were first grouped at random, then thematically and now in official groupings that may be released over several years. The first three series, all released in 1999, had a variant for each figure, but the practice was quickly dropped. Of those figures, only the variant of Death has never been re-released. The Sandman was a comic book series written by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics for 75 issues from 1988 until 1996. ... Preacher was a comic book series created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, published by the American comic book label Vertigo imprint of DC Comics, with painted covers by Glenn Fabry. ... Transmetropolitan is a postcyberpunk comic book series written by Warren Ellis with art by Darick Robertson and published by DC Comics. ... Wonder Woman is a fictional DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. ...


While most figures have been released on blister cards, some have been available in boxes and a very few in clamshell packaging. There have also been several boxed sets featuring multiple characters or a character with a particularly large accessory.


Because DC Direct sells primarily to the comicbook specialty market, the figures ship to stores on predictable dates, a rarity for toys.

Unreleased

There was a proposed series of figures based on Alan Moore's classic Watchmen that never got past the prototype phase. Rumored to be schedule for release in July, 2001, a few of the figures were displayed at summer conventions: the Comedian, the Silk Spectre and Dr. Manhattan.[2] There were two different prototypes of Dr. Manhattan - one solid blue, one with a translucent chest. It is unclear if other characters such as Nite Owl, Ozymandias and Rorschach were to also receive figures. Alan Moore (born November 18, 1953, in Northampton) is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. ... For the 2009 film based on the comic book, see Watchmen (film). ...


The proposed figures were to be part of a 15th anniversary celebration of the miniseries. Moore and co-creator Dave Gibbons decided not to take part in any such anniversary, in part because of a long-standing dispute over merchandising over the series.[3] Moore has since pulled his creator-owned project The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen from DC due to creative control issues, and there is little reason to hope that the parties will resolve their differences sufficiently to produce these figures. Dave Gibbons (born April 14, 1949) is a British writer and artist of comics. ... For the 2009 film based on the comic book, see Watchmen (film). ... The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin ONeill, published under the Americas Best Comics imprint of DC Comics. ...
