Just ahead of Toy Fair, DC Collectibles has announced several new Batman toy lines for 2014: based on Batman: The Animated Series, the Son of Batman OVA, and the digital-first series Li’l Gotham.
The new 6-inch scale action figures based on Paul Dini and animator Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series and The New Adventures of Batman cartoon shows from the 1990s are planned for release in November. According to USA Today, the toys will retail for $24.95 each. The first figures will include Catwoman from Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman, Two Face and Mr. Freeze from The New Batman Adventures.
The second series will be based on the direct-to-video Son of Batman feature, which is due out this May (see "First Trailer for Animated 'Son of Batman'"). Based on character designs by Phil Bourassa, announced figures include Deathstroke, Robin, Batman, and Nightwing. No MSRP or release date was announced.
The third Batman-related action figure line will be based on Li’l Gotham, a digital-first comic series by Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs. Announced releases in that line are Batman, Robin, The Joker and Harley Quinn. No MSRP or release date was announced.
Other new lines announced include Batman and Superman four inch wooden figures, 6-inch Infinite Crisis action figures, and a new "(Bat)man Cave" Super-Villain poker set with art by Kevin Nowlan and Batman dart board set.
