Crystal palace had
no need of a prince Stylish characters swinging into action (and some high school drama)
The most anticipated new toy line of 2015 has to be DC Super Hero Girls. Mattel billed it as “an exciting new universe of Super Heroic storytelling that helps build character and confidence, and empowers girls to discover their true potential” and it 100% delivered. Aimed at girls 6 to 12 and featuring DC Comics’ powerful and diverse lineup of female characters in a new approachable artistic style, each character has a unique storyline where she has to discover (or nurture) her new abilities. With figures ranging from 12-inch fashion dolls (ala Barbie) to 8-inch action figures to Lego Friends-style collectibles, there are figures for everyone at multiple price points. NYCC had a great first look at the figures in the Crystal Palace. This line is sure to be a huge hit. —Luis
