will there be Aquaman and Green Arrow waves too ?

I do agree villains would sell better than the civilians. I'm sure FTC has a reason for front-loading the civilians. Maybe it's to get them out of the way early in hopes of extending the life of the line by building anticipation for more popular characters that would come later. That's just a wild guess. It may be more production based. It may be easier for them to produce civilian clothing. Maybe it's because Alfred and Gordon sold out so quickly. Who knows? But whatever the reason, it seems counterintuitive. FTC certainly knows its own business better than we do, but I'd sure like to see some more prominent characters. That said, I'm getting Ma and Pa Kent.

They'll go as far and as deep as sales warrant, which they have a lot of control over. If we keep buying, they'll keep making. FTC is all in. But if Diana Prince and Silver Swan look like Burgess Meredith's sisters, the WW line may be a tough sell. And if that one doesn't go over, they may be less likely to stray into uncharted waters on other groupings. I think the WW assortment could be pivotal.

I think that's a lot of truth. If they get away from the bubble doll heads, this can succeed.

Re:civilain figures. I can see them being used to stretch a line out, but that usually comes in later waves.

I keep thinking it's a cost move - different materials, same patterns - or they're holding back for either the start of DC movies, or store distribution.

Lookingg at WW, it follows a pattern. Two civilians and one head repurposed for two usages in one wave. Swan is interesting since it's hard to believe that will be a new head head sculpt, too. I can see the WW or '66 Catwoman head re-rooted as blonde. I can also sadly see the classic bubble doll head. I mean, Lois didn't qualify for a new sculpt, why would some low rent villain?

I'd be amazed if we didn't see the Invisible Girl head being used for some characters, perhaps as Swan, Poison Ivy, etc.

You can't tell me Brainiac, Metallo, Parasite, and Atomic Skull wouldn't sell ten times better than Jimmy, Perry, Jonathan and Martha.

So true, so true.

Would love to see Green Arrow and/or Aquaman waves. Flash too. Great ideas in this thread.

love to see an arrowcar, made so GA can fit with his arrow pack

I mean, Lois didn't qualify for a new sculpt, why would some low rent villain?

Yeah, a lot of this is head-scratching. Maybe the Lois figure was done to match the original lego-look of Clark and Superman, but if FTC is really in for the long haul, maybe when it does a new Superman sculpt they will do another sculpt for Lois.

Aquaman has a good chance, I think, of getting a wave, and Arrow might because of the TV show, but outside Dinah, Ollie doesn't really have a majorly stocked rogues gallery. Deathstroke is a Titans villain, and Vertigo and Merlin are the only really big villains I could see making (Clock King, maybe). For Ollie, I think I'd rather see a joint venture with Green Lantern (GL/GA is still one of my all-time favorite comic series). Hal, Ollie and Canary, along with the Old Timer (great way to make a Guardian mold for re-use), add in a couple of each heroes villains and maybe some folks who went up against both. One baddie I'd love to see is Replikon:

A one shot wonder, but he'd make a really great looking figure, with recognizable elements off some of the most popular DC big guns to help push him.

As for Aquaman, Mera is so long overdue it's sad, and guys like Ocean Master and Manta are shoe ins (a more realistic Manta head/helmet sculpt as opposed to the likely cartoon Legion of Doom version would make him worth getting).

2000 DC Direct Hard Travellin' Heroes 6" Green Lantern Hal, Green Arrow Ollie, and Black Canary Dinah (w/ 2 heads blonde and brunette!) was DCD's 1st themed wave and what got me hooked on DC Direct ever since and made 6" my favorite all-plastic action figure scale! Hal and Ollie looked like Neal Adams drew them! Canary was preposed but I couldn't believe we got her back then!

So yes I want FTC Mego 8" Hal, Dinah, and updated Ollie!

[SpaceAgent]

Isn't Black Canary on one of the FTC card backs? I seem to recall she was. We know GL is.

An Arrow wave could have GA, BC, Speedy (8") and a golden age GA (red gloves, no beard).

[jeffbearco]

I'd love to see them do a removable mask GA, Arsenal, Black Canary and Count Vertigo.

Green Lantern would be best in his own line so maybe we can finally get a Kilowog!

My favorite Aquaman was always the bearded version with the hook.

Green Arrow's goofy looking rogue Clock King would make for one great Mego!

I like this suggestion quite a bit, but I'd also like to see Carol Ferris and Thomas Kalmaku and a host of GL villains.

^They could reissue the Waltons truck for their "Hard Traveling".
