    Sorry scrape that about Kid Flash, my ancient memory was confusing his tenure with the New Teen Titans with Aqualads. We probably will see Kid Flash on an adult body in the same wave as BB and WG.

      I disagree about Vixen, she's been in more than one cartoon series (2 seasons of Justice League Unlimited, even had her own Arrow Universe animated movie) and in more than one live action DC series now...hardly obscure.

        It's wild to me that between nu Mego and FTC we have not gotten Vixen or Bumblebee. In fact all around Bumblebee barely got any figures at all besides the DC Superhero Girls line.

        I guess maybe the wings would make her harder to make but I would take a figure without the wings if that's what it takes and find wings to add myself.

          with most figures, it comes down to (1) brand recognition and (2) desire by the widest amount of collectors.

          this mentality is why we get sold and re-sold Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman more often than ANY OTHER DC characters.

          there is a HUGE untapped market for action figure depicting POC. the fact that Mattel's recent SUN Man Exclusive release sold out in two hours, points to this.

          The way to get the companies to understand you would spend money on these figures to to write them, text them, go to their FaceBook and Twitter pages and BOMBARD them with what you want to buy.

          I did it to NuMego by asking every day for Hammer Monsters, Lee Falk's the Phantom, and universal monsters. So hey, 2 out of 3 ain't too shabby. lol

            I grew up in the 90s where there were only white male action figures primarily made... especially with the 12 inch GI JOE line which is what I collected as a young child. I always had a little OCD and hated when I couldn't get all the characters in action figure form from a comic or movie. One of the charms when I found out about Mego was the idea that they made Uhura from Star Trek. I am not sure why it appealed to me so much but I always found that to be special to me.

              Ideally i wish ftc just released every core hero and their villain in addition to batman/superman characters. Would've loved cyborg/grid, firestorm/killer frost, green arrow/deathstroke, etc

              i just think ftc and dc's ship has sailed which makes me sad because they were giving us some great side characters that mego won't ever give us. Although who knows, i didn't expect to get a ras figure so soon from mego.
              i want them to do grid ahhhhhhh

                They should make Cain and Abel from the House of Mystery and the House of Secrets. That would be pretty cool for both a DC line or to add to our collection of horror-themed figures.

                    There's so many characters they could do that I don't imagine Mego will touch on.

                    more Teen Titans, more Batman TAS characters like Mad Hatter, Mr Freeze, Phantasm etc, Modern Suicide Squad including newer looks for Boomerang, Harley, etc

                    Still am not sure why they couldn't have made Nubia?

                        I’m actually waiting for their next release of Presidents, and wondering which ones they’ll be??? I’d like to see Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower and maybe Grant.

                            They should make a Mike Pence figure.

                              I'd like more 18th & 19th-century presidents, for their clothing. I'm curious to see how FTC will have Jefferson costumed--his portraits vary.

                                That would be interesting, guessing something similar to Washington in black outfit.
                                They could do Grant in both Civil War union blue and something similar to Lincoln outfit.
