    Agreed. Reverse Flash has become much more popular with recent media. As a kid in the seventies, I would have wanted a Captain Cold to go with a Mego Flash. That said, I'm definitely picking him up

      With each 50th anniversary WGSH, they should counter with one arch villain for each of them in the near future, Luthor-Joker-Black Manta and Black Adam and Captain Cold just to name a few.

        At least one. Batman’s rogue gallery is so strong though you could probably even do 2 per Bat character.

          They tried one villan to one hero( with the Mattel retros) and the heroes sold out but the villans did'nt . I picked up most of the villans for 5 dollars each at Ross and TJ Maxx

            Yep, I was thinking about Mattel on that one. I have all of those, but I admit, I will skip villains too, depending on my collecting intentions. Like, I have no idea what I am doing with the McFarlane Super Powers, so I haven't bought one villain from the line, just the Super-Heroes.

                Although I quite like Flash's goofy rogues gallery, they always had the baggage of just seemingly like non-threatening goobers or poor man's versions of Batman's foes. To me that was part of the charm, but to many Flash's foes looked like the kind of guys Batman could show up and beat up in 5 mins. With the exception of Grodd, who ended up getting more play once he was co-opted in Batman and JL stories.

                In recent years Reverse Flash/Zoom have appeared to me like an attempt from DC to beef up Flash's rogues and make them a bit more substantive/threatening. And he's easy reuse for toy companies, so he almost always gets featured.

                  Reverse Flash was always my favorite Flash villain. If they make any more villains for the Flash, I'm glad Reverse Flash was first!

                    In all fairness, Capt. Cold preceded Mr. Freeze (Zero). Freeze was a gimmicky C-lister until Batman: The Animated Series.
                    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.
