DC Comics merchandise at USF

[Metro West]

I just saw this on another board and thought I would share it...

Let's see...IoA has Marvel and now the Studios has DC Comics merchandise?

I wonder if something is going on? Maybe Universal is trying to get people used to the DC characters so Marvel Island can be rethemed? Or maybe it's a bonus to have both major comic companies at the Universal Orlando resort?

Not quite sure what to make of this...if anything.

Thoughts?

No idea, I thought Six Flags had the rights to all of the popular DC characters.

They do which makes it a little stranger.

Is that the Terminator store? there's a lot of 3rd party merchandise in that store all the time, I wonder if the store isn't directly run by Universal, hence why we see so much "other" merchandise.

Yes I think so and could be. It just seems strange to see the DC stuff in there...you know?

Lisa and I got Doctor Who shirts from that store. I was surprised to find them there.

I purchased a Green Lantern shirt in that shop by T2 maybe 3 years ago...which I recall seemed strange since GL is DC.

Ooh, I can once again fantasize about Marvel Island becoming Gotham City.

Didn't someone once say that Six Flags didn't have EXCLUSIVE rights to DC?

Cyber Image (I'm pretty sure that's the name of the T2 store) has always had a weird collection of merchandise. A couple years ago they had a huge Star Wars section in that store with a display of a storm trooper and how you too could own your own armor - ask at the counter for price!

Saw the DC shirts in the T2 gift shop 2 years ago, before they even re-did Spiderman. Sadly, I think it's just a sales opportunity.

Yeah...it appears that way.

Yes, DC merch--and also Star Wars merch--has been in that shop for years. It's been a general "geek" shop for the better part of a decade.

I even saw a few Doctor Who shirts in that shop yesterday.
