Known for his contributions to the Madballs and My Pet Monster toys of the ’80s, James Groman has now partnered with DC for a line of grotesque toys that re-imagine DC’s most iconic characters in Groman’s own unique style, and the line was fully unveiled over the weekend at DesignerCon. The 7″ vinyl figures are part of the DC Artists Alley collection.

For the kickass line, Groman brings his signature art style to the DC Universe and offers his terrifying spin on Batman, Killer Croc, The Joker and Two-Face.

“When DC Collectibles asked me to design and sculpt my own renditions of DC’s iconic Dark Knight and a few of his villainous adversaries, I was excited and intrigued,” said Groman. “Growing up, I wasn’t as big a fan of costumed heroes like most of my friends and was usually drawn to characters like Swamp Thing, Monster of Frankenstein and Werewolf by Night. With that said, I’ve always been a Batman fan, mostly because of his dark nature and origins, and he has THE BEST villains. Working with Jim Fletcher and Trevor Zammit at DC Collectibles on these figures has been so creatively satisfying! It was interesting to see just how far we could take the designs but still remain respectful of each character’s basic DNA.”

Groman’s designer vinyls will hit stores in October 2019 and are available to preorder now. Each character is limited to 3,000 pieces, selling for $65 each.
