Much better than the previously released DCD Darkseid, Mr Miracle and Orion...wish they would've done this the first time out.

Maybe they can do a second wave with DeSaad, Black Racer, Granny Goodness and Big Barda (she was previously done as well)

Who wants Bruce Timm to do a New Gods DVD movie using straight Kirby designs? His Superman/JLU were pretty close, but he wanted to Kamandi straight-up Kirby-style!

Toyroom, great second wave list!

I don't know much about Kirby/New Gods (but I DO have experience from
these boards, the SUPER POWERS toys, SECRET SOCIETY OF SUPER
VILLAINS comics and the Timm DCU stuff)

but

ANYTHING Timm DCU would be great

BUT

they'd have to bring DeSaad back to life (or reboot) if they wanna use 'im! :)

A little off topic, but still relating to Kirby and The New Gods:

I read, not too long ago, that Big Barda was based on Lainie Kazan (who played the Mom in My Big Fat Greek Wedding).

Hard to imagine now, but evidently she was a class A hottie in the early 70s and Kirby based Big Barda on Kazan's Playboy layout.


Kazan posed for a spread in the October 1970 issue of Playboy that inspired the look of Jack Kirby's DC Comics superheroine Big Barda.

No problem...Darkseid has killed DeSaad and resurrected him many times in the past.

Well, Darkseid IS like a god, so I could see that "resurrecting" thing for him
being like you or I taking a shower or going to the store---that nutty
superbeing----he's got skills! :)

Rene Auberwhatever still might have a job yet! :)
