Poisunday Ivy :: DCIH Poison Ivy Prototype

Ah, what could have been. DC Infinite Heroes was one line that had so much potential yet was sabotaged at every turn by the brain-trust that is Mattel. Making it probably the biggest toyline disappointment (for me at least) in modern times. Second only to DCUC and MOTUC - are you sensing a pattern here?


This DCIH Poison Ivy sure would have been a hit had it made it to retail. Although if it had, Mattel would have found some other way to disenchant buyers, like by charging $30 for it or by including it in a Wal-Mart exclusive seventeen pack with sixteen Batman color variants or something.

  1. Mattel just seems like it just loves screwing everything up they do in some fashion.

  2. I actually own one of these gems. Someday I may attempt to paint it, but for now i'm too scared.

    1. I saw your work on the DCUC Poison Ivy; I think you could do wonders with this one!
