More JLU Figures On The Way

[huedell]

So in all actuality, the E-2 Huntress was only around for 9 years (created in 77), whereas Helena B has existed for the past 19 years!

Had no idea.

Anyways...

I'd think there other heroes/villains that were retconned for the Timmverse--
but, really that's neither here nor there as my original intention for
mentioning the Huntress/retcon thing was part of a bigger post---

and the bottom line IS that all those LEGION villains in that specific
combination only worked together against the JLA/JLA/JLU in the Timmverse
on TV---and that that's a good enough reason to package 'em together.

Even if they just merely appeared on the show(s) throughout the run--
it'd still make sense...Why? Because they're Timmverse JL(U) toys and it
was a Timmverse JL(U) show.

Not to say I wouldn't wanna see a PLASTIC MAN in "Timm style" released!

Ah, I'm not sure what you mean by "Legion" era. What comes to mind when I hear that term is the Legion of Super Heroes, seems odd that those villains would be set in that timeline.

Unless you're referring to the "Legion of Doom" which was created for the "Super Friends" cartoon on TV. Which begins to make sense I guess, although the LoD was never part of DC continuity outside of the cartoon. The closest the comics ever came was the Secret Society of Super Villains, which I believe the LoD might be based on. My exposure to Super Friends ended after Wendy, Marvin & Wonder Dog.

I call the 5th season the "LEGION" era because of the first episode
title "I AM LEGION" which implied that the whole kaboodle of villains
working together under GRODD and then LEX were indeed the
"new" LEGION OF DOOM (not to mention the connection between the
two with that awful familliarily shaped headquarters in an awfully familliar
swampy location).

The LOD may have not been a part of DC continuity outside of the
SF cartoon---but it played a big part in influencing the 5th season of JLU ----

----a show on which the toys we're talking about in this thread are based.
(Of course yoiu watched the JLU show and didn't merely collect the figures, right?)

But if you never saw the old SF show with the LOD stuff I can understand
why this'd be confusing.

Oh ok, I didn't know there was a 5th Season. I knew there were 2 seasons of Justice League and then thought there were 2 seasons of Justice League Unlimited (which I haven't seen all of yet).

ADDED: Ok just checked my DVDs. You are talking about Season 2 of JLU (which is actually the 4th season). I haven't watched that season yet.

Hmmmm...it may be 4th or 5th---I may have the numbers mixed up
---but it's the last season---

oh man---you GOTTA watch that season of episodes---

I don't know about you, but I'm a REAL DCU villain lover---
and that season is chock full of 'em.

I think the BEST is THE GREAT BRAIN ROBBERY---you get to see a LOT
of the LEGION headquarters under very funny dramatic circumstances
---and for more of a "bam, slam, pow" type episode with the LEGION
as the focus---you should watch the second to last episode of the series-
--called ALIVE!-----it's ALL VILLAINS man----groovy
