I'm really pleased to see how they're improving this line. The thigh swivel was very needed. All the articulation and unique sculpting is really making Icons have a lot of value among the 6 inch scale.
with the upper-thy articulation on darkseid, and the cut on grail, as well as slightly improved head movement, I wonder if they'll start adding that more next year, they're the only thing holding the line back atm imo
Fantastic review as always!!! I think they did a great job on this set. The figures look incredible and I'd love to have it. However the cost is way to high in my opinion. Maybe if there were more accessories but as is I'd say it's worth $60 or $70 tops.
So they added more articulation and scaled the figures up a bit in size, plus most icons have individually sculpted parts. Icons are coming for Marvel Legends
wow for a figure that grail is pretty hot looking. awesome review last darksied figure i got was the injustice one or at least was released under that line .
Good review as usual, Jay. I yet to own a large scale Darkseid. Which one will you recommend? The New 52 Darkseid or this DC Icons Darkseid? Hope you reply soon. Happy New Year 2017.
Both are good figures but the New 52 is probably going to be harder to find since its been out a long time and you get the 6" figure with the Icons one so I would say go with that one.
Did I just hear someone say, "thigh" swivel? FINALLY! DC steps up their game. I love how they gave Darkseid a thigh swivel buy took away his bicep swivel. But it's fine, it's not like it'd work anyway.
My comic shop didn't get this in today, however, maybe I won't get him after all. The lack of a bicep swivel means I can't pose him into a conquest thinker pose with his hands behind his back, so that sucks. Maybe DCC will do a classic Darkseid sometime soon...
Are you going to review Greg Capullo Superman figure. I have been waiting for great comic Superman figure with articulation for a while now. That looks like that has potential.
jay c happy new year!!! (im watching this quite late sorry!) i really liked this review but im leaning forward to the new 52 darkseid. i was jujst wondering if you can do a review on the new 52 darkseid and if you already did just send me a link to the video. thank you very much!!
I've been looking for DC Collectibles New 52 Darkseid but couldn't find a decent review like yours.. Would you like to do a review for DC Collectibles New 52 Darkseid? Or other DC Direct/Mattel Darkseid.. Especially now that Snyder Cut is confirmed & Darkseid (Uxas) is confirmed..
I wish they would've gone for the classic Darkseid look for the Icons line. He's one character that never needed to be redesigned... but they did it anyway.
A hundred dollars for this? I'm pretty sure that's too high of a price, I'll just pass. With the amount of accessories that we get, it should only be around 50 or 60 dollars at most. If this came with omega beam accessories and a base then I would even consider 80 dollars, maybe. But this is definitely not worth a hundred dollars. Not even close.
Agreed. I was so excited for this but after this review and hearing about the QC issues people are having, I canceled my preorder. Hopefully DCC will give us a classic normal sized Darkseid next year (assuming this line lasts that long given all of the delays and crap).
Hey, on my Grail figure the right bicep fell off of the shoulder. I can pop it back but it eventually falls from being too loose. Any recommendations to fixing this?

Yeah there great they better cause they cost so fuckin much
anyone else agree that Grails sycth look like half a batarang
Aymen Belayadi exactly
Aymen Belayadi I thought that too
Aymen Belayadi ya that's weird
Aymen Belayadi mhm
The head on grail would make a great custom sombra (from overwatch)action figure
all we need now is a anti monitor with the black racers
Wish it had an omega beam shooting head and motherboxes. Might justify the price for me
Elliott Burns Now now, don't get greedy, they gave us a thigh swivel and extra hands didn't they? One step at a time.
I love Grail's design. It's just perfect
Thank you ! I was looking forward watching a video review of this set.
I was looking for a comparison between both Darkseid figures and I finally found one, cheers.
with the upper-thy articulation on darkseid, and the cut on grail, as well as slightly improved head movement, I wonder if they'll start adding that more next year, they're the only thing holding the line back atm imo
Very nice set except for that price
I was waiting for this to come out!! Ima check my local comic shop tomorrow. Nice review
thigh swivel on the icons I hope the next batch get the thigh swivel also great review by the way
I noticed that too, I got excited when I saw the thigh cuts. Hope it sticks around, it would really do a lot for the articulation.
Yo happy that you liked the Grail figure. I hope to sculpt some more toys and statues for DC in 2020.
Fantastic review as always!!! I think they did a great job on this set. The figures look incredible and I'd love to have it. However the cost is way to high in my opinion. Maybe if there were more accessories but as is I'd say it's worth $60 or $70 tops.
Both figures look really nice and fit really well worth the other icon figures
finally dc put thigh swivel on an icons figure, best icon figure yet
So they added more articulation and scaled the figures up a bit in size, plus most icons have individually sculpted parts. Icons are coming for Marvel Legends
wow for a figure that grail is pretty hot looking. awesome review last darksied figure i got was the injustice one or at least was released under that line .
Thanks for this Jay C - I think I’ll pick this set up! (and I’m not even a DC fan)
finally icons with thigh swivel!
Good review as usual, Jay. I yet to own a large scale Darkseid. Which one will you recommend? The New 52 Darkseid or this DC Icons Darkseid? Hope you reply soon. Happy New Year 2017.

Great review and great figures! I definitely need it.
Damn, the lack of bicep swivel kills this figure for me 😭😭

oww man you slways have the coolest figures firsr i really want this
i have the dc icons black adam reviewed realy nice i like dc icons
Yeah that Bkack Adam is cool as shit. I need Shazaam to go with him.
great review thanks
I need this
Looks amazing 😊👏
I have a dc icons 2 pack superman vs doomsday I think darksied is bigger compare to doomsday in a toy but in real life it’s the same height
My comic shop didn't get this in today, however, maybe I won't get him after all. The lack of a bicep swivel means I can't pose him into a conquest thinker pose with his hands behind his back, so that sucks. Maybe DCC will do a classic Darkseid sometime soon...

Arlington Forbes yes.
justice league rebirth figures when will be released?
Hey wait a minute, you said he has a thigh swivel, but you didn't actually show it to us.
Awsome
So Icon figures match up size wise pretty nicely with the old DC Classics/Universe figures would you say?
whoah!!!! 😨
jay c happy new year!!! (im watching this quite late sorry!) i really liked this review but im leaning forward to the new 52 darkseid. i was jujst wondering if you can do a review on the new 52 darkseid and if you already did just send me a link to the video. thank you very much!!
and also which one do you prefer ( pricewise and just which figure is better) ??
I've been looking for DC Collectibles New 52 Darkseid but couldn't find a decent review like yours.. Would you like to do a review for DC Collectibles New 52 Darkseid? Or other DC Direct/Mattel Darkseid.. Especially now that Snyder Cut is confirmed & Darkseid (Uxas) is confirmed..
Will the Darkseid scale with the 7 inch DC essentials?
This Darkseid could be perfect... but the decided to exclude the bicep swivel! why god why!!!!!!!!?????? T_T
darkseid has no bicep swivel :c
I wish they would've gone for the classic Darkseid look for the Icons line. He's one character that never needed to be redesigned... but they did it anyway.
Now all we need is the new rebirth superman figure coming with the new justice league wave.
A hundred dollars for this? I'm pretty sure that's too high of a price, I'll just pass. With the amount of accessories that we get, it should only be around 50 or 60 dollars at most.

Koolers20 It's 70 something on Amazon
For me the price is
Box:50 dollars
Figure:30dollars
Tips for creating figure:20dollars
Is Grail supposed to be a little taller then the other characters, or are Icons getting bigger?
Yeah I noticed that with the Icons batgirl figure too..they're just getting bigger
Why do you get so many figures early? Are they free review samples sent to you by the manufacturers?
