    I would love that - one of my favorite cartoons ever.

    Ollie and Hal would top my list, along with Barry. Diana would work best either in military uniform or maybe in one of the outfits from when she lost her powers in the early 70's (though that's not a fondly remembered period for a lot of WW fans). If we do get a Teen Titans full sized version of Nightwing, I wouldn't mind a new Dick Grayson based on that head.

    Well, we do have about 6 different versions of the same Batman....so there's precedence...

    That would be awesome! I made one - but would love to see that figure made - than get it signed by Adam West!

    I personally love the side characters

    I would not want them at the expense of the Heroes – But they are a welcomed edition. (Example: I want a Jimmy Olsen, but not if it is at the expense of not getting a Green Lantern - Ideally we will get both)

    I have customs of characters like Hal Jordan, Oliver Queen, Alfred and Jimmy Olsen etc.. in my own collection – I would love to see to see these figures made.
    Hopefully we will get them and the Supers we want – not 1 or the other.

    IMO I kind of think its good marketing on their part
    You had a few batman waves and got Alfred, now you had a superman wave – now get lois, jimmy and perry

    If they do a Green Arrow wave we might get a Hooded version of GA, Queen, Canary and others, Green Lantern – you could get Costume variation of GL, a Hal Jordan, Carol etc..
    Again not at the expense of not getting a Huntress, Dead Shot etc.. But in addition to is perfect IMO

    But like Steve said they will only go as deep as the sales allow them to.

    Matty did a lot of charectors but I can't even stand looking at them
    ( except Wonder Woman)and I have like 2 or 3 of each loose. There was no fun for me trying to collect those but the FTC WGH are fun to collect so I hope they do Jonn Jonzz
    Black Canary,Atom and Hawkgirl

    I did pull out my Mattel figures the other night and every one of them has severe scoliosis. I have kept all of them in their original packaging though because ... tradition. But they all display like crap now. So FTC looks a LOT better in comparison.

    (Wonder Woman still looks great though. And I got 2, one that I actually took out of the package! *gasp* Please take note FTC!)

    FTC also wins with their clam shells that let you fix issues like that without ruining the packaging. If I could, I'd open the Mattel cases, replace all of the bodies, and then reseal them. But ... tradition.

    And back to the SI figures, would a Katar Hol figure basically look a lot like an Indiana Jones figure? There were definitely consistency issues, but I remember him mostly as an archeologist and museum curator. That would be COOL! Plus having a Gentleman Ghost figure would ROCK!

    The Doc Mego Mattel line got a lot deeper into the DCU than FTC WGH has, over a dozen new characters not covered by Mego.

    Thunderbolt, I'm with you. However, If characters like GL, Flash, Wonder Woman, get their own waves, I wouldn't mind a secret ID figure as one of the 4 in a wave. Otherwise, do secret IDs down the line or perhaps in a two-pack with their costumed iD. Same with girl and boy friends. Steve Trevor in a military uniform I'd buy if only for the uniform. Not sure I'd buy Carol Ferris or Iris West. But if FTC produced more Female clothes, I might kitbash them.

    Individual waves for B characters doesn't seem to be the route FTC is going with the Shazam characters spread across three Kresge waves.

    It'd be great to see all the satellite era JLA and Teen Titans over the next year as well as some the villains.

    If they did Carol in her Star Sapphire outfit first,I'd buy that then her in a regular outfit.

    They are playing so far in the shallow end of the kiddie pool.

    I would like a few other SI: Billy Batson, Barbara Gordon, & esp. Diana Prince. Regarding Diana, I'd like to see the traditional Gals head with glasses and hair pulled back in a bun, just my opinion. I suppose they could also do a nurse version.

    I wouldn't rule out Oliver Queen, Barry Allan, Katar Hol. and Hal Jordan, but as noted above they could be in character-specific waves.

    Not to hijack a thread that I started, but Flash villains could take over! Batman and Flash have the best rouges galleries of just about anyone else in comic book history! I'd love to see them do as many of them as they can. But I could easily see a Flash wave with 3 villains and then a Barry wave with 3 more villains! If the rest of the Teen Titans come out in 8" format, I'd like to see them revisit Kid Flash as an 8" figure.

    I still think a Batman wave with nothing but different versions of Robin could be cool and a good seller. They are already planning an original scale Titans Robin and a Nightwing. Then a Jason Todd, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne. Different sizes and costumes. Robin was always a popular character.

    I'd also like to see them revisit an 8" Wonder Girl in the black starfield outfit, 8" Arsenal, and 8" Tempest.
