Last week at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, DC Collectibles announced it was expanding its awesome line of DC Comics Artists Alley designer vinyl figures with a wave of figures by popular LA artist Joe Ledbetter! What an epic merging of DC Comics with Ledbetter’s iconic designer toys and pop art! If you’re not familiar with the DC Artists Alley Statue Collection, it is an artist focused line of designer vinyl figures that merges indie designs with the most iconic characters in the DC Universe.
In the DC Comics Artists Alley Joe Ledbetter Vinyl Statue Series, Ledbetter – known for his distinct bold lines, vibrant palette and animal characters – will put his signature spin on Batman, Penguin, Catwoman and Robin. As Ledbetter explained, “I’m a huge Batman fan and to have the opportunity to work with DC Collectibles on a set of Batman characters is a huge deal in my world. I just love the idea of a bat in a Batman suit, a penguin as the Penguin, etc. There’s something there that’s quite funny and interesting and really excites me. I like to think that these animal Batman characters inhabit a parallel universe where Gotham City is entirely populated by anthropomorphic critters, including the Caped Crusader himself. I think the fun, enthusiasm and love of Batman, Robin, Penguin and Catwoman will shine through on these designer toys and I hope they find a special place on collector’s shelves.”
Each limited edition DC Artist Alley Joe Ledbetter Vinyl Figure measures approximately 6.75” tall, is made of PVC plastic, and comes in a 5th panel box packaging with artwork from Ledbetter. These awesome DC Artists Alley statues are limited to just 3,000 pieces each, and can be pre-ordered now at Entertainment Earth for $54.99 each here.
