San Diego Comic-Con is just around the corner. Actually, it’s at the end of July, but none of it matters because it’ll just be another year that I missed out on the Mecca of geeks and another year of crying in a corner somewhere. But for those who are able to attend, if you have the cash to shell out, DC is rolling out some treats for the con-goers.
DC has just announced some DC Collectible con exclusive merchandise. First up, there’s a small plush toy of Krypto the Super Dog. However, the real treat is what they’re calling the BlueLine Edition Batman figure. Designed by Jim Lee, this Batman looks like a 3D model of pencil art.
Check the photos and descriptions below:
DC Super Pets Krypto Plush Toy – Based on the artistic style of legendary comic book artist, Art Baltazar, DC Collectibles’ all-new DC Super Pets plush line will release an exclusive 6” Krypto Plush Toy at SDCC. Priced at $9.95, this cute and cuddly item is sure to impress fans – both young and old!
DC Comics BlueLine Edition – Jim Lee action figure (Limited Edition) – World renowned comic book artist, Jim Lee, brings his extraordinary vision of Batman to life in this exclusive pencil deco Batman action figure sculpted by Jack Mathews. Encased in an intricately designed package, each Batman figure includes an original sketch drawn and signed by Jim Lee. The sketches feature one of three iconic characters from the Batman Mythology – Batman, The Joker or Harley Quinn – and are divided equally among the limited 150 figure quantity. This rare Batman action figure is priced at $300.00.
DC Comics BlueLine Edition – Jim Lee action figure (Standard Edition) – Similar to the Limited Edition, the Standard BlueLine Edition features the same remarkable pencil deco Batman action figure designed by Jim Lee and sculpted by Jack Mathews. Produced in a larger quantity, each standard figure is enclosed in the same artistic packaging and includes an exclusive Jim Lee print. The standard BlueLine figure is priced at $40.00.
That’s a massive difference in price between the limited and standard editions, but I suppose original Jim Lee art ain’t cheap these days. Glad they’re offering a collectors-on-a-budget edition.
If all of that wasn’t enough to prematurely throw your money at Jim Lee when you corner him in a supermarket, they’ve provided a special video with Lee explaining the figure and the difference between the editions.
San Diego Comic-Con spans July 8-15 and these collectibles will only be available there.
