Why no Billy Batson?

[MIB41]

Neat. That will be really fun to see. Looking forward to some prototype shots on Shazam Jr. and Mary Marvel. I see Billy Batson being a special edition variant on a Teen Titan body.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I hope Jr.'s cape is red, not white. Not really sure where that came from in the 90s/early 2000s. His cape looks MUCH better in red. Mary's costume was changed to all white at that time too, and I never liked it. I know it CAN be done, despite this DC style guide art. The DC Universe Classics/Signature series gives Freddy a red cape.

Totally agree that Jr.'s cape should be red.

Why no Billy Batson?

Maybe he'll be in a second wave?

[darkbros]

Hopefully Second wave will include

* Billy Batson
*SIVANA ( in his Green evil Capt. Marvel uniform)
*Uncle Marvel
*Sivana Jr.

At this point I pre-ordered Sivana on Kresge card, so I'm happy with that.
Nothing beats my OEM T2 Shazam Mego so no replacing it,
and unless Mary's Head and Outfit our stellar, I'll keep my custom Mary.
that leaves Jr. which I hope isn't a Korak head repainted ( or worse, and Aqualad head).....

It would be nice to at least see head sculpts with these announcements.....it makes it easier to prepare the wallet ( or not)....

[Godzilla]

I'm all over this!

[LordMudd]

These big figures are not my thing, but I would point out that Sivana was a 'Marvel' too and his suit was green and yellow. I have done a small scale custom of this. Point is, he and Jr. are about the same size so with a head swap and new suit you could do a Sivana Marvel figure.

[Goblin19]

Great line up.

Agreed, I really want FTC to nail these, I love the characters so. I've already expressed my reservations about Sivana, I won't repeat myself.

I will say that I'm thrilled to see a wave centered around a "lesser" character. Actually, I think the Big Red Cheese can support another wave, and I hope we see An Aquaman wave (punny), as well as others.

For another wave, I'd advocate:

*Billy Batson
*Shazam the Wizard
*Ibac or Black Adam
*Talky Tawny or Uncle Dudley

If there's one figure that could use a beefier body, it's Shazam. I'd love to see that.

[TomStrong]

Can't wait to see these!

I would love to see a tawny in the next wave. Really psyc'd for this one.
