Surprisingly Fun
Way back in 2018 it was announced that DC Comics and Spin Master Toys had come to terms on a new licensing agreement. Starting in 2020, Mattel would no longer produce the bulk of DC’s toys. I was a bit sad about this, since I grew to love their Multiverse 6″ line as a collector and really liked their 12″ True Moves figures for my kids. Thankfully, Spin Master will continue with their own value priced 12″ figure line and a bevy of other wonderful figures, vehicles, and playsets of varying sizes.
The 12″ line features the same excellent articulation as Mattel’s True Moves figures. Spin Master also seems to lean harder to comic style characters as opposed to some of the more realistic looking toys from Mattel. Spin Master focused on Rebirth Batman with their first wave of toys, but have also introduced a new wave featuring more of our favorite DC heroes and villains.
The 4″ figure line features an amazing lineup of characters. Yep, you have your traditional heroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash, and a number of popular villains including Joker, Harley Quinn, and Darkseid, but you also get characters that don’t receive as much attention on the 4″ scale such as Nightwing, Bronze Tiger, Talon, Copperhead, and Killer Croc.
The 4″ figures come with mystery accessories and a few rare chase accessories. There’s a Hammerhead alternate figure of King Shark that is exclusive to Target stores as well. Other figures in the line include Catwoman, Shazam, Cyborg, and Gorilla Grodd. The figures come in single packs, multi-packs, and Mega Gear Packs that features bigger accessories.
There are also a number of playsets, vehicles, and other toys for children and collectors to purchase that are being released with each wave. Sticking with the popular blind bag trend, Spin Master is also releasing 2″ collectible blind bag figures.
I really like the fact that Spin Master is focusing on comic inspired looks for the characters. I do hope that they eventually produce some higher end figures for collectors but I love that they are producing tons of figures that provide a lot of playability for children. In today’s world, it seems that more and more companies are focusing on collector items and produce more dull options for children to play with and collect. I think that this will pay off for Spin Master in the long run.
So, do you like the new line-up of toys being offered by Spin Master? Let me know in the comments section below. Also, let me know which figures you are looking forward to or want Spin Master to release in the future.
As always, thanks for reading my post. Have a great day!
