DC has peeled back the curtain on its newly revamped DC Direct Artists Alley line of collectible statues and figures.
Incredible re-imaginings of Batman, Catwoman, Joker, Deathstroke and Robin will be front and center next year for the first release, which will be accompanied by a Joker Clown Prince of Crime and Batman Black and White statue line.
DC Collectibles announced Monday that it would be changing its name and releasing new products under the DC Direct moniker. Artists Brandt Peters, Brittney Lee, Patrick Ballesteros and Zach Heffelfinger are the masterminds behind the upcoming Artists Alley Line of collectibles.
Heffelfinger, a former character designer on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants, used his fun and outlandish style to create a more cooky-looking Dark Knight — complete with a potbelly and several small birds holding him up.
Brandt channeled his Victorian design style to create an old-timey, Vaudeville-esque look for the Joker. Lee offered a completely different take on Catwoman, turning her classic black suit into a pinkish, purplish ensemble.
The collectibles are all available for pre-order on the DC Comics website. They’re scheduled to be released later this year.
