Not to jump the Gun, but Guesses on Wave 2 of Retro Heros???

[Ninersphan1]

Given that Batman is pictured on the card of Wave 1 I'd say he's a given. I'm gonna speculate, using wave 1 as a template and say wave 2 is as follows:

Batman
Two-Face
Flash
Captian Cold

Not that EMCE/Mattel is gonna use the same formula for every wave but IF they do this wave follows wave 1 :

Batman- Re-Do of Mego DC heavy hitter ala wave 1 Superman
Two-Face- Villian for heavy hitter hero not produced by Mego ala wave 1 Luthor
Flash- Hero not produced by Mego ala Green Latern
Captian Cold-Villian for above Hero (this could be professor Zoom too I suppose) ala Sinestro

Anyway all just fun speculation on my part, just can't wait to be able to walk into a Toys R Us and see these hanging on the shelves

[Orion]

That would be a very solid wave and one that I would be interested in. Since Batman made the artwork for the Green Arrow card you would suspect he is on the horizon. And Flash is certainly one of those Megos you wished had been made as a kid. There was a thread a while back questioning how well a Captain Cold would do - - - so who knows on whether we will ever see him released. Also, as you suggest, who knows if the hero/villian ratio will stay the same in future waves.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Doc Mego knows....but he's not tellin yet.

[supes]

Doc,
Can you tell us if Mattel is planning on announcing wave 2 at the NY Toyfair in Feb?

p.s. THANK YOU AGAIN!!! You are the GURU of Mego! Master of Mego: Doc Mego!

[thunderbolt]

Batman-Riddler
Flash-Captain Cold
in keeping with the Challenge of the Superfriends theme of the first wave (excluding Ollie)

[Meule]

Not a bad guesstimate, one I could certainly live with

[Riffster]

I would think if Batman and a Villian are coming out then Robin should be the 5th figure out. if they keep with 5 figures... I don't want to wait til the 3rd or 4th wave for Robin

[Meule]

If I remember correctly next waves will only be 4 figures

[supercrazy]

Maybe Dick Grayson Robin will be a Matty Collector Exclusive like Green Arrow. Not saying it is the right choice if Batman is going to be released you need Robin. They go hand in hand.

[chunky B]

I'm going to guess

Batman, Joker
Aquaman, Black Manta

thought I would Looooove to see the Flash and Captain Cold

[mitchedwards]

I hope Flash makes it in wave 2. I've been wanting a "Mego" flash since I was 9 yrs old.

[LonnieFisher]

Flash, Prof. Zoom, Batman, Joker.

[The Bat]

Batman/Joker
Flash/Prof. Zoom

Adult Dick Grayson Robin, Matty exclusive.

[Gremlin517]

How about Adult Dick Grayson of Earth-2 Robin! I would like that!:drool_y:

Gremlin--http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RPKme1T44w4/SzBNfN2rZSI/AAAAAAAAAOE/b-H0kUI4cGo/s400/museprofile.jpg Latest work in progress...

[boynightwing]

They should do Nightwing if they do adult Grayson. The "Elvis" costume.

[david_b]

I'd love a COOL-LOOKING 7" Robin, better head sculpt, better yellow collar..!

Agreed, the Flash would be a natural pick for Wave 2.

david_b

[piecemaker]

Batman/Joker

[CrimsonGhost]

Here's my pick, but you're a sucker if you put money on these:

Shade the Changing Man/ The Creeper (for all the Ditko fans!)
Richard Dragon / The Karate Kid (for the kung-fu fans!)

You can't tell me they wouldn't be cool!

[drogge]

I predict Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Jonah Hex.

[jwyblejr]

I'm waiting for them to get around to Shazam. Been waiting for a corrected one for sooooo long now.

[pmwasson]

Batman-Riddler
Flash-Captain Cold
in keeping with the Challenge of the Superfriends theme of the first wave (excluding Ollie)

:yes:

I would love this to be wave 2.

[txteach]

I'll go with Bert, Ernie, big bird and exclusive cookie monster!

[MEGOMAN]

How about Adult Dick Grayson of Earth-2 Robin! I would like that!:drool_y:

[Brown Bear]

Cool custom, but no thanks. I think it would be wise for Mattel to keep going with the Super Friends.

[MIB41]

I think alot of collectors are counting on and hoping for the Flash. He was one of the more popular DC characters that was curiously overlooked. That and a Captain Cold arch enemy would be SWEET!

[The Bat]

Captain Cold is one of the "lamest" Villains ever created...I hope they go with Prof.Zoom.:please_y:

[puckace]

Captain Cold is one of the "lamest" Villains ever created...I hope they go with Prof.Zoom.:please_y:

You want lame.....go with Killer Moth. He probably fries to death flying into the Bat Signal:silly:

Captain Cold is just plain cool!:cool_y:

I'll go with Flash/Captain Cold and Batman/Two-Face. That would be a sweet wave. But I'm sure whatever they are we will be pleased:yes:

puckace

[bobws]

Don't you think they should keep a matty exclusive for each set coming out? they should make the following characters the exclusives: Black Vulcan, Apache Cheif & Samurai
I mean when would you actually put them in a set? doesn't it make sense to sell them as exclusives?

[thunderbolt]

Captain Cold is one of the "lamest" Villains ever created...I hope they go with Prof.Zoom.:please_y:

Zoom would be the lazy way out for Mattel, and a instant peg warmer to the general public. "But you already have The Flash, Tommy"

[huedell]

CHALLENGE OF THE SUPERFRIENDS made CAPTAIN COLD into an icon that
no other Flash villain outside of GRODD can match.

Mattel'd be crazy NOT to go with Cold.

Exactly why they'll probably make him.:wink_y:

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Exactly why they'll probably make him.

I agree, but I think it would be a peg warmer. Does Mattel have any Gorilla bodies out there, already? That would be cool.

[samurainoir]

Captain Cold is one of the "lamest" Villains ever created...I hope they go with Prof.Zoom.:please_y:

I'd have said that up until recent years where Geoff Johns has made him quite a compelling character.

http://image2.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/fullsize/32490582748.182.GIF

I think the easiest variant for them at this point is Wally's costume vs Barry's. Just modify the belt!

[Ivaniski]

If i was a Gambler, I'd go this route and bet the house for these "Wave 2" releases. :smiley1:

http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/files/9/4/1/TheFlashMiniBustSmall.jpg

Blue costume version... of course. :yes:

I'm with you on these guys. Green Lantern was done first probably because everyone wished MEGO had done him in the first place. Flash would be the next logical hero to be done.

[zeedox]

Wave 2:

Batman
Robin
Joker
Flash

[PNGwynne]

I'd like to see Robin in a later wave paired with another Bat-Foe. And I hope they don't over-do the exclusives. My vote:

Wave 2: Batman
Joker
Flash
Capt. Cold

Wave 3: Wonder Woman
Cheetah
Aquaman
Black Manta

If THOSE aren't the next two waves...or at least VERY close to the

Honestly, I kind of hope you're wrong.

Grem-

[EMCE Hammer]

I know I'm in the minority, but I'd love to see disco Nitewing.

My Guesses:

Flash/Capt. Cold
Batman/Riddler (I'd rather see Two-Face)

then

Aquaman/Manta
Robin/Joker

I don't see them doing Zoom with Flash - it would look too much like a variant Flash instead of an enemy

[huedell]

Honestly, I kind of hope you're wrong.

Grem-

I'm curious. Who would you think would be the BETTER choices for Mattel?

[bobws]

i hope they keep up the 1 old hero and villian with 1 new hero and villian.
so series 3 would be WW and cheetah, for sure .
hawkman & gentleman ghost or MM and despero

this way we always get 2 or 3 new characters each set!

[PNGwynne]

^ I see your reasoning, but I want Aquaman & Manta!!!

[rcbats1]

Batman with Removable Cowl would really make me crazy(er) for this line. I'd also expect a Flash in wave 2. The others wouldnt really matter to me after that, I'd buy 'em all.

MLB

[SUP-Ronin]

I'm more fired up about figures that were never made.We need villians.
That said, I can totally see Bats, and Flash in there, and I would love to see a decent Grod, cheetah, or black manta.

What about Bizarro, another cheap route for mattel, cause they'd use Supes suit, with a different head and just reverse his logo?

[The Bat]

Hmm....let me think, what do I want to see the most?:whistle: Oh I know....BATMAN with a really GREAT Head Sculpt.:grin:

[JediJaida]

I'd like to see Starfire from the Teen Titans. It really cheesed me off when she married that other dude. (I can't remember his name, but he was supposed to be a warrior type on Tamaran, and it was an arranged marriage.) It really knocked Nightwing for a loop.

Doing her hair justice would be a problem, though. as well as making sure that her arms don't look like sticks compared to her va-va-voom body.

Do I actually expect to see her? Of course not.

But it'd be nice just the same to see a superheroine that isn't WW, BG, SG, or CW.

[enyawd72]

I'm going with;

Wave 2
Batman
Riddler
Flash
Captain Cold

Wave 3
Martian Manhunter
Bizarro
Aquaman
Black Manta

Oh i want to see all the Titans made and the rest of the Justice league and the Legion from the 70-80's and the Justice society and the outsiders.

But that will take YEARS and that is why we make customs!

But really you listed off the order any females will be made in. my order would be
WW, Donna Wonder Girl,Black Canary, Power Girl, Supergirl, Starfire, Raven, Catwoman, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Stargirl, Cassie Wonder Girl, Liberty Belle.

[Gremlin517]

I'm curious. Who would you think would be the BETTER choices for Mattel?

I want less villians, more heroes--its just a personal bent. I always wish to the heavens that we would get some Golden Age characters...

Grem-

[Gremlin517]

Let me add, too, that I'm not saying my choices are better--just that I hope for different figures.

Did I miss something or are you on something? Green Lantern???

[Meule]

I think he means for Wave 1, not counting the exclusive :wink_y:

[MEGOMAN]

Did I miss something or are you on something? Green Lantern???

Sorry, I meant Green Arrow of course!

[Cosmicman]

Captain Cold is one of the "lamest" Villains ever created...I hope they go with Prof.Zoom.:please_y:

I'm betting you might be right. :wink:

[drogge]

I remember when I was a kid, I hated the female Megos. I once got Batgirl and Wonder Woman and ripped them from limb to limb. I was a stupid little boy. I went through so many Megos when I was a kid. They were so cheap. I could buy 2 of them for under 5 bucks and sometimes cheaper. If I could turn back time. I have come to really admire the female Megos and would like to see some for Wave 2:

Wonder Woman
Black Canary
Cheeta
Batgirl (one of my favorites)

Are there any other female incarnations folks would like to see?

[CrimsonGhost]

I think it's funny that Capt. Cold is considered lame, yet Zoom with his "exactly-the-same-as-Flash-but-different-colors" outfit isn't.

With the exception of Grodd, I don't think any of the Flash villains are all that great.

[The Bat]

With the exception of Grodd, I don't think any of the Flash villains are all that great.


I won't argue that point.:smiley1:

[LonnieFisher]

Prof.Zoom is better when called Reverse Flash. Sounds more evil or something. More like a bad guy!

[DocDrako]

I think Captain Cold (if they make him) would be cool with his hood as part of his jacket and not molded on his head.

:grin:

[PNGwynne]

I have a hard time seeing Zoom as more interesting than Cold. I think Cold would have more shelf-appeal.

I'd really like to see Grodd, but as I've said in other threads, I can't see Mattel investing in tooling to do a proper gorrilla

[drmego]

Mattel has been making Reverse Flash in the 3 3/4 inch scale,
although I don't remember seeing him in the 6 inch scale.

I always loved the Reverse Flash costume, but in drawing
the comic, they would be no difference between them until
the colorist colored the pages.

Well, it could be figured out because the chest circles were either white,or black when inked.. it's easier altogether now though, the bolts face opposite directions.. they didn't always have opposite facing chest lightning bolts though, you're right. They always should have had opposite direction bolts though, but comic writers/artist were detail lazy, and toy manufactors just changed the colors. The main reason the original comic had the chest emblem bolt facing the same direction on Barry and Zoom was because it was an original costume of barry's that zoom modified to be his own. Still, if really thought out it should have been opposite facing from the get go.

Original Reverse Flash look:
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/theflash/images/1/13/331498-22905-eobard-thawne_super.jpg

Anyway, bolts go opposite directions now, easy to figure out who's who before coloring is applied.

I don't know if this is a guess a much as a wish but I'd like a SHOCKING Wave 2 like:

1.)WONDER WOMAN
2.)CHEETAH
3.)BATMAN
4.)CATWOMAN

Get an early start on the ladies! LOL!
Whatever they put out will be cool if they stick to the Mego era comic book look.

[Wise4671]

For me I would like to see:

Batman
Joker
Robin
Riddler

[bizzaro megomauler]

lets get some unsung but cool figs in there.
SHAZAM! (think all corrected costume, would be KILLER!)
Black Manta (the fig you always wanted)
SGT.Rock! (more useful than Conan in the original line)
Plastic Man
The Atom
I am just TIRED of the predictible ones.

[LonnieFisher]

I don't like Zoom having a reversed lightning bolt. I like it the original way.

Love to see a Plastic Man and Atom get made. Black Manta would also be great. I'm also hoping - though this is probably unrealistic - for a Removable Helmet/Mask Hawkman. I think that would be really neat.

Can I ammend this by saying #4 above can be interchanged with Joker or Riddler as well because after staring at my Retro Green Arrow MOC for about an hour, I was envisioning what so many other heroes would look like. I can picture in my head how bad *** Joker and Riddler would look as well!:yes:

I will definitely "collect them all" as long as they stay "retro" when picking the characters too. Seeing, say, a Red and Blue Superman come out would ruin the whole deal for me.

[ScottA]

Knowing Paul and Joe I would say they probably have some sweet characters in store for us in the coming years. And I'm guessing Superman Red and Blue are not amoung them.

[Mod Style]

It would stand to reason that John Stewart GL will be in an early wave. Remember how quickly his being in the first wave was announced, and then un-announced?:wink_y:

[warlock664]

Zoom would be the lazy way out for Mattel, and a instant peg warmer to the general public.

Have you seen the masses of DCUC Captain Colds peg-warming at Wal-Marts and Toy-R-Us stores EVERYWHERE ? I doubt the general public would be lining up to purchase a guy with goofy goggles wearing a snow parka.

My Guesses:
Wave 2
-Batman
-Two-Face
-Flash
-Reverse-Flash

Wave 3
-Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!)
-Black Adam
-Robin
-Riddler

Wave 4
-Aquaman
-Black Manta
-Batgirl
-Joker

Oops, you are absolutely right! I had intended Joker for Wave 3, then thought he'd go better in a Wave 4 with Batgirl, seeing as he crippled her and all! Actually, I don't expect any Gals for a while, Batgirl was more of a "wish list" item!

[warlock664]

Ooh, good call on Captain Boomerang! I'd be satisfied with him over Zoom.

Heck yeah! He lends himself to being an action figure in costume and design; he is a classic Flash foe...and he'd obviously have accessories; another advantage/selling point over just a Reverse Flash. Plus, every kid knows what a boomerang is so he'd be an immediate hit I think!

[Ninersphan1]

Given that Batman is pictured on the card of Wave 1 I'd say he's a given. I'm gonna speculate, using wave 1 as a template and say wave 2 is as follows:

Batman
Two-Face
Flash
Captian Cold

Not that EMCE/Mattel is gonna use the same formula for every wave but IF they do this wave follows wave 1 :

Batman- Re-Do of Mego DC heavy hitter ala wave 1 Superman
Two-Face- Villian for heavy hitter hero not produced by Mego ala wave 1 Luthor
Flash- Hero not produced by Mego ala Green Latern
Captian Cold-Villian for above Hero (this could be professor Zoom too I suppose) ala Sinestro

Anyway all just fun speculation on my part, just can't wait to be able to walk into a Toys R Us and see these hanging on the shelves


Well 2 out of 4 ani't bad and It could be argued I was on the right track,
but I have no problem being wrong with Aquaman and Black Manta coming in wave 2. I better flash and the good captian will be in wave 3...
