    With the Big Lots wave being primarily deco variants, what else would you like to see

    There have been a ton of looks for the characters over the years. What would you like to see?

    I'd love an Earth 2 Superman. I'd say a Recovery Suit Superman, but that would require a new head, but in this case we wanna use as little new tooling as possible.

    Earth 2 Superman and Batman. Maybe some secret identities in a two pack? Vendors want the big names. A secret identities two pack would get me to double (triple) dip.

      I understand the desire for Secret Identities, and I doubt we'll wait long before it happens.

      But it was a bad idea in the 70s and the only reason we really want them now is because the originals were rare, and much coveted, mostly BECAUSE they weren't popular when new.

      Same goes for the Aquaman shark.

        I'd like to see them revisit older figures. Rocky with bruised face and Apollo with non bruised face for example.

        Though I'd prefer they give us some new sculpts and characters. Like a Bud to finally complete my Bundy family..

          I don't see any of that stuff happening, bro. The sitcom stuff didn't do well at all.

          I admire you keeping the fire burning, but the MWC ones were awful. Al especially.

                  Yup. The costume seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_(Earth-Two)

                    While I would love to see it, that's basically an all new figure.

                    You could use the Nightwing head, but it'd be a domino mask.

                    I don't think people understand what my intent was here.

                    Without using any new tooling for heads (and only minor tooling for accessories) what variations could be made on existing characters?

                      I would like to see some of the modern DC stuff re-used.

                      The first Batman redone in blue & gray, with bat-emblem or yellow oval emblem. Or both just to drive people crazy!

                      A Superman with lighter blue costume using the Red Son head (hopefully upsized a bit).

                      Filmation costume Aquaman, with cuffed gloves.

                      Wonder Woman in a costume with yellow instead of gold.

                      I wish there was a little mod I could think of for the regular Shazam release (not Topps) that could justify increasing the head size and deformity of the original head.

                        Earth-Two Superman with grey/white temples and revised symbol would be the easiest, and my most wanted.

                        Earth-Two Batman could use the non-removable original Mego head sculpt, with white eyes and shading on the cowl and revised symbol. The smiling head would actually work well here.

                        Earth-Two Robin with his original Batman inspired suit could use the existing Robin head with the appropriate mask painted on, as both had the two spit curls.

                        Golden Age Aquaman would need yellow gloves and a black belt with a larger “A” symbol.

                        Kingdom Come Superman would be an easy repaint as well.

                          Oh OK, now I see what you're asking for. In which case, the only thing I can think of is TV screen accurate Filmation costumes (including the live action Shazam!).

                              That 50th Shazam! "upgrade" is a good suggestion, especially since he's scarce.

                              A gray & black 50th Batman with Golden-Age chest-emblem might do well.
                              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.
