That's really interesting. Thanks for your insights Andy. It will be interesting to see what other licenses will split by mass vs specialty markets.Comment

There's an interview up with Todd at Newsarama about his plans for the DC line...

he at least seems to be headed in a direction I like.

Looking forward to McFarlane DC figures, great interview btw. It's good to have someone who "GETS IT" and knows the industry, and target customers, and of course what they're doing running the show. Here's hoping for 8 inch DC Mego in 2020 as well.Comment

unsure, but I'm betting Todd doesn't do superman or batman at first until a few waves come out. I'm betting characters like The Creeper, Swamp Thing, Man-BatComment

Batman is McFarlane's favorite DC character, and in every interview about the DC line he has given, he has talked about doing the core right and building from there, so I would expect the first wave to have all the favorites and maybe 1 or 2 surprises. He's also talked about the popularity of characters in comics, movies and TV being a driving point for the line.
I don't know how many figures will be in a wave or what is typical for McFarlane toys, as I haven't bought anything from them except some of their Conan and Dragons years back, but I'd expect something like:
Batman
Joker
Superman
Wonder Woman
Harley Quinn
Flash
Aquaman
Black Manta
and a wild card like Swamp Thing
as the kind of mix you would expect in a first wave based on the approach to the line he has talked about. He hasn't talked specifics of figures except mentioning doing a really cool Batman, but he has talked about his philosophy of approaching the line and how to make it work, and what he thinks fans want to see.

I just wish Mattel could've gotten around to the Balent Catwoman and Impulse that were teased before closing shop.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment
