Ra's is on the list of the first DC issues, so I'd say it's him. I agree about too many Bat villains too soon.

The Flash's belt is the current one, but it's too thin; it should look like two
lightning bolts meeting, not an arrow pointing to "Li'l Wally."

Are those DC figurines advertised as being inspired by Alex Ross?  A lot of those poses sure look like the poster series of Ross' work.

With the exception of Batman, that was my guess, Andy.

As I was doing some clean up on my figurines, I had the idea of displaying Kraven next to the Black Panther, and so I wondered if these two characters had already met in the past. If not, I think it would be a great hunt and fight. What do you think ? Especially if you manage to put these two ones in the Savage Land ... to hunt and to be hunted ... hm, I will send a script to Marvel...

I discovered that having these Marvel figurines next to my Comics gives me some ideas of encounters and fights. I can't wait to have the DC figurines... my kids will catch me unaware playing with Batman vs Iron Fist one of these days ...

…it seems somewhat odd to start off with THREE Batman villains…

••

Batman has the best rogues galley of any DC hero. And the best known.
They might have wanted to have Luthor in the first release, but -- which
Luthor? It's too early in the series, I would judge, for bald-guy-in-
business-suit!

Looks like the DC line may have been cancelled. I can't confirm this as fact but this was posted today on a well known UK based toy site.

The DC Super Hero Collection from Eaglemoss has been cancelled until further notice. i just received a letter from them saying that it may be published at a later date.

I have myself received nothing from Eaglemoss lately other than confirmation of my order. I am quite disapointed about this if true. I guessed that it would not have the same success as the Marvel stuff as the UK is very much a Marvel Country (the lack of posts in that toy thread show this to be true if nothing else does). I did hope we could get 60 or so figures made though.

Damn! If this is the true, John, those Superman and Batman figurines trialled in some French towns (as mentioned by Richard Franck) will be priceless.

Well, I'm disappointed -- but my wallet is relieved!

Steves site says that is just a pause, and the UK release of these is still going ahead
