What does /co/ think about this? Who's looking forward to the one-hour TV special?
In an edited interview for Forbes, DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson talked about the development plans for the DC SuperHero Girls line.
>Girls in our research groups wanted action stories with heroes, so we started with animated shorts on YouTube, an hour-long animated special on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and a website of adventures available in various languages. Now come the dolls, action figures, and books, with animated shorts, direct-to-video and apps underway. Mattel will launch a 12-inch Katana action doll as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. It’s a big business opportunity.
Is it worth pointing out that DC are making comic books, with an upcoming graphic novel promoted on FCBD as well?
But these are DC SuperHero Girls that Diane Nelson wants to stand on their own two feet. Literally.
>Mattel’s perspective on what’s historically worked for girls made them a great collaborator. At the same time, there were points of constructive tension about everything from the form of the figures to their costumes. We wanted the dolls to stand on their own. There are many dolls that don’t, and require a stand to be upright. We wanted clothes that are fashionable, but not trendy.
>And as for the lack of pink in the palette of the DC Super Hero line, and making the first action figures for girls?
The success of the Wonder Woman toys….
>The official rollout is in July. We’ve tested the apparel, Wonder Woman’s role-playing shield and bracelets in Target stores since April. It’s selling like gangbusters, and we can’t keep it on the shelves. All of our retailers are excited about getting their hands on the products. We have 30 product categories out now, and will have 70 product categories in more than 35 markets globally after the rollout in July.

Exactly what DC – and this line – is worth to Warners. And they’re looking for more than a billion dollars.
>Our overall consumer products represent a $6 billion business. The DC brand brings in about half of that. We think the DC Super Hero Girls can be bigger than a $1 billion brand.
Yes, I’m thinking Austin Powers too. As for Diane’s own favourite character?
>Wonder Woman is my favorite character. It’s about her strength and compassion, which is how I like to think I operate in business and in life. She’s a bad-ass warrior who cares about people. She’s a pacifist at heart, but can be a warrior when she needs to be, which is how women need to be in business.

The TV special already aired on Boomerang . It's airing again on Cartoon Network . It was good.
It's alright
>>83079225
it's pretty shit, almost as bad as Mattel's Monster High.
It's good but it could be better . I think it would be better if it wasn't in a high school
batgirl and supergirl are cute.
>>83079618
>Mattel will launch a 12-inch Katana action doll as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.
Why is no one talking about this ? She's the only main character who doesn't have a doll.
The designs could be better .bumblebee doesn't even look like bumblebee
I can't wait. DC pretty much drop the ball not making this a full 30 mins show instead 90 second segment
>>83079225
It's really cute and I like the merchandise.
As a Marvelfag, I wish they had something similar.
is there decent porn
>>83079225
It's cute I guess
I showed it to my niece, age 9, perfect demographgic. She hates the fuck out of the designs. Particularly batgirls and wonder womans.
>>83086285
No. And I've checked throughoughly.
is this another one of those shows that /co/mrades only like for waifus but tries to claim otherwise?
I wanted Super Best Friends Forever, not this Monster High knockoff.
>>83086434
Yes.
>>83086448
We live in a shitty reality.
>>83086434
Is anyone claiming otherwise?
And waifu isn't enough for me. I want hardcore porn. Even trash like shadbase would be an improvement.
>>83081905
>Smart
Immersion broken
>>83079618
>Constructive Tension
Diane with the stealth shots. Nice.
>>83086404
>>83086285
request some
I like it for qt Hal
>>83081905
this
Sure. Put Harley in there.
Yeah, she's an insane killer and psychopath, but lets make a doll out of her anyway!
>>83079225
Is this what feminists think girls want or need??
>>83079225
It should have been Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld. Even the waterdown gaming references version would be fine, but full on Basara inspired Gemworld comic would be the tits.
>>83085843
this show could have easily been america's "Hero Academia" but no...
>>83086434
nah, this is like Monster High, where the /co/mrades will admit it's all waifu-faggotry
>>83079225
No Dick Grayson, no watch.Genuinely happy for all the little girls that get to grow up watching DC women be cool and shit. I hear this is actually successful for DC, as well.
>>83084435
Katana is top-tier waifu material.
>>83085843
>>83089016
Indeed. This shit would've been a great TV series, at least the premise is. Increase the budget to allow for some good animation, and it would be gold.
>>83088517
She's still just a high school girl here.
>>83089016
>instead of Noumu we have Doomsday.
>The Superhero High characters fight doomday, but he it easily shows that he is way too much for them
>The the proud founder of Superhero High, Superman, arrives and saves them and punches doomsday to the city
>tells everyone to get to safety before he goes after the abomination.
>We don't get to see much of the fight itself besides buildings falling over, but as the students return to school they talk about how great superman is.
>as they go into the school, they notice a grim atmosphere.
>The news report announces that Doomsday and superman have killed eachother.
>Kara is most affected by this.
mean while
>a science lab bunker
>revealed that there are more doomsdays, all of different types.
>The one they sent out was just a field test.
>"the age of superheros was over"
>>83079225
Ivy goes full school shooter episode when?
>>83086434
>It's a "/co/ gets into a shit-tier cash grab because of waifus" episode.
>>83089170
I remember reading somewhere that they are kicking the idea around for a longer series, depending on how well the toys sell.
Also, link to the special for anyone who missed it: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x40srwf_dcshg_tv
>>83086434
I will openly admit I'm only here for the Hal doll so I can hot glue him
>>83084435
>San Diego Comic-Con exclusive
Well, shit. How bad do I want it...
>>83088674
What makes you think it was created by feminists?
>>83095095
She'll probably get a wider release in a different outfit sometime after SDCC.
Barda doll when?
