Retro DC Comics Collectibles and Their Stories

By Sideshow on Aug 21, 2023

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No wait, it’s generations of incredible stories and characters from DC that we absolutely love. And yes, we connect with those stories through equally incredible collectibles. So, whether it’s Batman, Superman, or even Martian Manhunter, these collectibles bring us back to our favorites.

What’s more, these specific collectibles are specifically designed to bring the story to the forefront. Surely, if you love these characters, these collectibles will scratch that nostalgic itch.


Wonder Twins 1:10 Scale Statue

First and foremost, there’s the Wonder Twins 1:10 Scale Statue from Iron Studios. In it, Zan and Jayna are in full costume, the very same bright purple from their 1977 debut in The All-New Super Friends Hour TV program. Zan is ready to shift into rippling water while Jayna prepares to become a fierce animal. Naturally, this statue would be incomplete without their pet monkey Gleek! Luckily, he sits right on Jayna’s shoulder as the twins get ready to shapeshift.


Girls Night Out Art Print

Well, where would we be as DC fans without the fantastic escapades of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy? In the Girls Night Out Art Print, by Bruce Timm, we get to see two of our favorite Gotham sirens straight out of Batman: The Animated Series. In fact, this frame commemorates the only episode where these two baddies appeared together — you could say it was a smash hit.


Batman #1 1 oz Silver Coin Silver Collectible

Of course, this list of collectibles would be nothing without a direct reference to the original comics themselves. Luckily, that’s exactly what the Batman #1 1 oz Silver Coin Silver Collectible by New Zealand Mint provides. Yes, this collectible is the very cover of Batman No. 1, the brand new adventures of Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder!


Batman: The Animated Series 30th Anniversary Art Print

Certainly, we couldn’t mention the animated series without focusing on the main character himself! In the Batman: The Animated Series 30th Anniversary Art Print bv Orlando Arocena, we get to see the Caped Crusader in all his glory. Really, there’s nothing quite as terrifying to the villains of Gotham as the Bat-Signal. And for fans, there’s nothing quite as exciting.


Superboy 1:10 Scale Statue

Next up, Iron Studios comes out swinging with the Superboy 1:10 Scale Statue. Yeah, this piece just hits different. Or rather, Superboy hits different when he’s beating the bolts out of Brainiac! Maybe he’s born with it, maybe he’s an extraordinary experiment created by Lex Luthor.


1966 Batman Bat-Cuffs

Truly, one of the greatest things about Batman is all of his equipment. If it weren’t for his creative inventions, he’d just be another master martial artist, super genius, and excellent detective. However, coupled with his inventions, including the 1966 Batman Bat-Cuffs from Paragon FX Group, he’s so much more.


Catwoman #50 Art Print

“Honey, I’m home!” Personally, we would quote the Batman Returns villain each time we got home and greeted the Catwoman #50 Art Print from Sozomaika. After all, it captures the elegance and danger of Selina Kyle in one dangerous portrait. Yummy.


Batman (Sonar Suit) Sixth Scale Figure

Obviously, if you love Batman Forever, then you’ll love the Batman (Sonar Suit) Sixth Scale Figure from Hot Toys. It displays all the tension and power of the character through excellent detail and lots of gadgets. And, of course, the Robin Sixth Scale Figure pairs with it perfectly.


Meanwhile, At the Sweet Shoppe… Art Print

Once again, Olivia De Berardinis outdoes herself with the Meanwhile, At the Sweet Shoppe… Art Print. Over a refreshing sweet treat for two, we get to see Catwoman and Batman together in their classic 1960s style. Someday, this classic comic couple just might find a way to make it work.


Wonder Woman #750: WWII Art Print

At last, we have the Wonder Woman #750: WWII Art Print illustrated by artist J. Scott Campbell with colors by Sabine Rich. Honestly, there’s probably no better art print to illustrate the history of this Amazonian princess over the years. Wonder Woman has been saving mankind for generations, and this print shows her right in the thick of it.
