Mattel Reveals an Epic DC Premium Batman Figure Based on the Iconic Hush Comic | NYCC 2026
With Mattel regaining the rights to DC's vast lineup of characters, we can reveal the very first DC Premium figure ahead of its debut at NYCC. And yes, it's Batman.
The collectibles market is experiencing a significant change, with Mattel taking over the DC license from McFarlane Toys. Mattel has been releasing kid-focused figures under the DC Core branding, but collectors are eagerly anticipating the launch of the DC Premium line. Mattel has unveiled the first DC Premium figure, Batman, just ahead of the official debut at NYCC 2026.
The DC Premium Batman figure is based on the 2002-03 Batman: Hush storyline and designed by Jim Lee. Standing at 6.5 inches tall, it boasts an impressive 34 points of articulation for dynamic poses. The package includes a rooftop diorama base with a mist effect and a light-up Bat-Signal accessory, along with a posable wired fabric cape and interchangeable hands.
Nick Karamanos, General Manager at Mattel, expressed pride in bringing DC back to Mattel for this exciting new chapter. The figure is priced at $100 and is available for pre-order on the Mattel Creations website. It will be on display at DC's NYCC booth (#4365) during the event. Mattel also hinted at future DC Premium figures to be revealed during a livestream on January 1, 2027.
Other collectibles highlights at NYCC include Hasbro's new Street Fighter movie figures and Funko's NYCC-exclusive Green Lantern figures.
