That list for revenue is so incomplete.

Batman doesn't have comic sales and i doubt it ONLY made 40 bucking million despite having 32409834 TV shows and movies (network TV probably paid half of that for the rights to air just Burton's Batman).
Superman is also missing from that list and it used to be much moer popular than Batman from conception until 1989.

Japan is a very big country (population wise) and it rode a popularity wave for a very long time, so half a century of that adds up to a lot.

The series itself is more popular than this chart actually says.
Something to consider is the fact that worldwide merching is relatively new, so only the mega popular shit used to sell back in the 80s and before. So stuff like Harry Potter and Pokemon is only as high as it is because cross-border popularity is so easy, hence rising so high relatively quickly.
Also, $100 says they didn't always take inflation into account.

DC never enjoyed a good general since 2011.
McFarlane revitalized the brand for /toy/ and this is actually the most popular it has been since... maybe forever? It's at least equal to whenever the first DCUC Harley Quinn came out.

>This is why MLs sell like hotcakes compared to McFarlane
Are you dumb or just dumb?

You're comparing apples to oranges.

Anything Marvel sells like outcakes compared to anything DC no matter what. DC has like TWO characters that the public knows about that routinely buy anything, whereas Marvel has had C-listers like Thor and Ms Marvel turning into A-listers, ontop of their already popular as fuck XMen and Spiderman series. Nevermind B-turned-A-listers like Captain America and Iron Man.
Shit, even fucking F-listers like Guardians of the Galaxy are popular now.
A whole mess of popular series vs Batman and Superman

>They're having a harder time getting people to buy
Are you also stupid?
Do you remember how Mattel was treated on /toy/ and even on youtube when they were releasing shit? No excitement at all and almost all negative comments or humdrum as fuck.
McFarlane getting the license is one of the most turn arounds for DC with people actually being HYPED for new DC toys and most reviews are overwhelming positive.
The last time we saw this kind of positivity was back when the DCUC line was still new, with people talking about finding the new Harley Quinn wave at KMarts and Walmarts.

So Conan, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Peanuts, Dawn of the Dead, World War Z, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and a whole bunch of other fan-driven properties should be considered evergreen just because they have a few things out every year?

Evergreen generally means properties that are actually in the limelight year round and can sustain itself (ie, not needing a movie) every year in a mainstream way.
Wolverine, Batman, Mickey Mouse, Darth Vader, etc etc etc don't need constant yearly movies or even cartoons to drive toy/plush/poster/book/pencil/candy sales.

Shit, stuff like XMen, they were trying pretty hard to sabotage/lag that property for close to a decade yet people kept on buying XMen shit regardless.

McFarlane made fortnite legos and sold them in the kids aisles.

McFarlane may make collector toys, but these aren't.
He's budgeting the line to be sold for under $20.00, because it's a children's toyline sold in the children's toy aisle in mass market stores like Target and Walmart.
If he has higher standards, it still doesn't matter, because it's still a children's toyline being sold in the children's toy aisle. This is why the line is the way it is, because Batman is recognized by all kids and everyone else (but Superman) is a literal who to kids.

>IF
lol
Fucking third worlder knowledge.

>why do Marvel Legends regularly sell out online and in stores
I don't see any unreleased MLs selling out right now though. Same with the unreleased DC stuff. Seems pretty easy to get any of them.
Right now you can go to entertainment earth, the second largest collector online store, and almost every McFarlane DC figure is currently sold out and they're awaiting reorders (and since you're a third worlder: backorders aren't always an ensured thing).

Anyway, you're comparing different IPs, but retards like you don't understand that they will have widely differing levels of popularity.

closest i have for action figures.

up up and away.

Also, the way they handled toys in the 80s is a completely different beast. Toy companies and stores basically got one semi-large wave per year. So that shit shelfwarmed compared to what is going on today, which increased the amount of characters released every year.

I doubt it.

It's probably STar wars first, Marvel next, then transformers, with WWE somewhere after that.

>spider man, iron man, hulk, and captain america probably each generate more revenue than a single dc superhero excluding batman
Spider-Man outdoes everyone by quite a lot.

Anyway, Deadman and Mr Miracle are not at all obscure if you're a comic fan. And since DCC makes toys that only comic fans care about, you'll likely see everyone as long as the line continues to sell.

Do you not have comic book stores in your area?

Every comic book store in my area has pretty much every DCC figure and none of them are hard to get, unless theyre old.
If you don't have a comic book store, places like amazon, bbts, ee and almost all smaller online stores will have them for cheap.

>>5981595
that actually varies by series.

>>5981579
So to actually answer your question, DC characters aren't as popular as Marvel characters.
When something is popular, like the movies, it's hated by the comic fans and mostly ignored. So you only get a couple of normies and weebs making threads asking about movie figures.

Even when the ML line was killed, there was still a high amount of energy and discussion about Marvel toys.

DC just doesn't have as exciting of a universe or have as good of designs as Marvel does, and i say this as a fan who has more DC books than Marvel.

Quoted By:

>what went wrong?
>Warner Bros. Consumer Products has re-upped a deal with Mattel that will enable the company to create toys around DC Comics’ superheroes for the next several years.

>The deal will include the likenesses of the characters in films, TV shows and from comicbooks. That includes “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” out in summer 2016, and the “Justice League” that will follow, both directed by Zack Snyder, along with Warner Bros. TV series “Arrow” and “The Flash.” It previously worked on Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, and 2013’s “Man of Steel.”

>The extension, which is expected to last from three to five years, does not come as a surprise given that Mattel has been DC’s master toy licensee for 15 years, producing action figures, vehicles and role-playing accessories.

>Deal continues to give the world’s largest toymaker access to DC’s vault, which includes over 1,000 heroes and villains like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and The Joker.

All this.
Mattel is shit
