DC sets NYCC collector lineup and dates Mattel's first DC Collector reveal

DC's October 8–11 booth plan includes exclusive comics and merchandise, with Mattel's first DC Collector item to be revealed October 8.

DC has given collectors a first itinerary for its 8–11 October New York Comic Con booth. Its official lineup places the expanded DC booth at #4365 , with a neighbouring cosplay installation at #4657 . The shop plans limited-printing foil comics, exclusive hardcovers, replica Lanterns rings, light-up power-battery

keychains and apparel, subject to supply. The clearest date for toy collectors is Thursday 8 October at noon Eastern time . DC says Mattel will reveal the first DC Collector item at the booth then, with a Mattel Creations preorder immediately after the reveal. The announcement does not identify the item or its

character. The broader Mattel DC Collector line is scheduled to launch globally on 1 January 2027 ; an October preorder should not be mistaken for that launch. DC also names an Upper Deck collaboration: an Absolute Batman bundle and an Absolute Wonder Woman bundle, each with a comic, trading card, shirt and pins. Its

shop will offer Platinum: DC trading cards, while the comic exclusives include a Lanterns #1 Special Edition wraparound cover by Ryan Benjamin and multiple Absolute foil covers. DC says it will publish a fuller merchandise list later. For limited items and signings, it plans digital queues and asks fans to watch its

official channels for eligibility and access details. Headline image: Ryan Benjamin's Lanterns #1 Special Edition art displayed in DC's official NYCC announcement; DC.
