    These threads are awesome

    Solomon Grundy would be my vote. For the Batman villain, I would rather see Two Face instead of Joker. That's another that was never made, and it would look really visually stunning if they really went for it with the head sculpt and the bright half of the suit (like the comics). My favorite villain of all time though is Bizarro. It doesn't hurt to dream I guess...

    For the exclusive figure I would also choose Hawkman. I don't know how expensive it would be to produce with the wings, but it would look awesome. If that were the case, then either Martian Man Hunter, Atom or even Red Tornado. You can't have enough classics!

    And if they ever ran out of superheroes (ha ha) - how cool would it be to have a Mego style Sgt. Rock?

      Why not do characters we don't already have. I already have an awesome RC Batman and a cool Joker why do I need an update version? I'd prefer some newbies straight out of the 1940s like Blue Bolt and the Green Sorceress, or Airboy and Valkyrie.
      Because that's what the general public knows is Batman. That's why Superman is in wave one. Everybody and their uncle knows who he is. Same with Batman. Sure we the collectors want every Z list character out there but Mattel wants to sell to every Tom,Dick and Harry. And who would they know better?

          Considering that

          1) These aren't even DC characters

          2) The license is with DC

          3) The general public is unaware of the characters you mentioned (besides the Eclipse Airboy revival it's been a looong while for these characters and even Eclipse was 20+ years ago)

          I think it's safe to say that I don't see this happening anytime soon....probably never.

            Yeah,... I don't even Know What that Crap was being mentioned.

            I do agree with the Rest of the Post..., really not even interested in figures I have already . Superman & Green Arrow are pretty far from my Want list..., to tell the truth .. they are not even on it,.. perhaps an Impulse Buy,.. Unless I even actually scene 1 up close in My Hands, ... I don't think I'd Make the Purchase. But given the Last 2to3 yrs of Buying Super Heros from Mattel without the Internet..., I Dunno,.. I Doubt I'd be able to even Find them instores.

            BTW... Eclipso Sounds cool. Package Him with Martian ManHunter.

                  Where was that at ?
                  The totals are:

                  Captain Cold 8
                  Grundy 3
                  Trickster 2
                  Reverse Flash 1
                  & I voted for Grodd.... BTW I didn't know Grundy was a Flash Villian either,. if we seem to be doing vote for any Villian... Then there's quite a bit of Votes for the Gentleman's Ghost too.

                    But if given only 1 choice who would you pick to be made the Flash villian?

                    Most want Legion of Doom figures , so i believe that is either Gorilla Grodd or Captain Cold.
                    Forgive me if i'm forgetting someone. So who would you pick? One of those 2, or another from the Flash Rogue's Gallery


                    So 1 pick for each of us!

                    This is from the first post and and i meant to say 3 Grodd votes not grundy.
                    i relly thought more people would have chimed in on this. oh well.

I think I'd actually prefer Wave 2 to be all heroes. Batman with removable mask, Robin with removable mask, Flash and Hawkman with removable mask. There's my wish list.
                      I have to agree with Raydeen. I think after Wave 1.2, they should have only one villian per wave, if that. There are so many heroes that we have waited so long to see. Oh and while we're at it--if they do make a new Mr. Mxy--there really needs to be a new body type--an even smaller one that could be used for Mxy, Batmite, perhaps a Golden Age Penguin--or even a Super Toddler line like Superman as a baby and Wonder Tot!

                      Gosh, I'm really, really starting to get excited about this!

                        How about Bane or The Scarecrow and Reverse Flash?

                          Why only 1 villain per wave? We've waited equally long for new villains as new heroes Each hero needs a villain

                              There aren't enough interesting Villains in the DC Universe...I'd rather see more Heroes.

                                Three reasons, the first one is just selfish--I really want to see as many heroes made as possible, two, that I don't think the villains will sell as well and three that I think we'll run out of good villains before we would run out of good heroes...
