After Kenner had lost the rights to the characters, Toy-Biz gained them, and in 1990 they made their own line of figures called the DC Comics Super Heroes. This line was short-lived however, as they didn't have the rights to use the characters for long. And within a short period, Kenner was back to making action figures based upon DC Comics characters. But it wasn't until 1996 that Kenner started to make a line based upon the JLA.
