      ^ Yeah, it kinda felt like Scott literally caught him going out the door on the way to his vacation.

                Idea was nice, but this was akin to the old Ask Matty things where the answers were vague and not particularly insightful. Instead of asking about specific characters which they probably can't announce, I wish there had been some discussion on the litany of problems with figures that never seem to be addressed. From giving figures that need pants, short poorly fitting leggings, to ridiculous oversized heads, etc. I know they're aware of some of this stuff, but at the same time it'd be nice to hear what they think of that and if they actually ever plan to address some of it.

                      Yeah, I can imagine how they might go wrong with the wings or the heads being gigantic, but MAN-BAT, Pengy, MAN-BAT!

                        So, the only news on Wonder Woman is that we won't see a version based on the TV show. No mention of Wonder Woman wave 1 at all.

                        I would still love to see them do colored versions of the Arrow Car. A white one would be generic enough to add foam core wings for a WW Jet.

                        Adding arms to a blue one would make an acceptable Supermobile.

                        GL Corps is something to look forward to at least. A Hal Jordan figure would be cool too!

                        I'm still surprised that we haven't seen a Captain Marvel in red and gold to go with CM Jr and Mary.

                        There is always that fear that Hawkman and ManBat will have heads like Mardi Gras characters. *eye roll*

                        Zatanna and Black Carary could be awesome! I'd be happy with both having a repainted IG head.

                        Lots to look forward to. We shall see.

                          FTC just replied to my email and said they will post Wonder Woman pics when FTC has a firm date.

                            There does seem to be a LOT of interest in a good Neal Adams-ish version of Wonder Woman. I'm eager to see it! If the head looks as good as the recent Catwoman, it should sell well!

                            They have shown that they can do a solid WW costume as well with the Super Friends line. I even liked the Super Friends WW head. If they do well, I'd love to see a "golden eagle" version done with metalic ink.

                            I'd still prefer the tiara be separate, but the Super Friends version makes me think it will be molded in place. Still much better than the original cupie doll version in pajamas.

                              I'll be curious to see a revamped and re-scaled Kid Flash. I always wanted him in the eight inch format so that will be one I watch for.
