    If FTC is going to keep doing variants of charectors like Batman and Superman than why don't they try some cool ones like Knightquest Batman(Azrael}
    Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, Composite Superman, Earth 3 Ultraman and Owlman, E-2 Powergirl(Supergirl} , E-2 Robin. These are variants I would buy.
    I can't believe they have not started doing a bunch of Green Lanterns using Hal's body for Tomar re . Parallax etc.

      So what does "all new" mean in this case?
      New sculpts? New clothes? New accessories?

      @Agent4125, This could be what "All New" means. In the EE exclusive series, Alfred can be considered all new, but he is slated to come out later in a regular series, so FTC can get away with doing a "new" figure for an exclusive series.

        Expense. And reuse.Some of those should be easy enough, like Ultraman and E2 Robin, but I would think that Cyborg Superman and Composite Superman would require enough new tooling to not make it worth the cost, especially if you consider how little reuse you would get from those tools. They could do a few Cyborg Supermans though.

        Not sure if people would be happy with a R2Robin using the same Mego repro Robin head, and that is probably what we would get. I'd take it.

        Just wait. Once GL is released, I think we will be sick of GL!

            Okay, I can agree with this 100%.
            I was a little PO'd that you had to buy all 5 figures or none at all.
            However, it's not hard to figure out why EE did it that way.
            There were 2 winners in that bunch, the Joker (utility belt) and Alfred (green apron).
            They obviously didn't want to sell out of those 2 and then be left with a pile of Penguin (black mask) figures that'll never sell.

                Sorry TRDOUBLE, in the case of the ones I'm talking about the scenario your speaking off does not apply. And these one's that I'm speaking of will not be reissued again in another series.

                  It's really quite simple, Let FTC come out with as many (New) or (Variant) 66 Batman waves they want too, and for (us) the buyers and fans, buy what you
                  are only interested in, and skip the rest or you'll go bankrupt, there's no written law that says you must buy every single one created just to have it.

                  Everyone has different opinions on likes and dislikes which is fine, FTC will make what they think will sell and most usually do, I personally skip variants
                  because I'm satisfied with the first issue of the character, except RC Batman and RM Robin variants which I like, I'll save and when new figures come out
                  which hopefully will not be variants but characters yet made, like Catwoman etc etc, I'll pick them up, but if more variants do come out, buy if you like and
                  skip if you don't, and save $$ until something is released that you want, variant or not.

                      Personally I'm pretty amazed at what's come out, we think everything will sell here but I imagine there is a huge drop between the 3 main heroes and four big villains that everyone remembers.

                      Nobody else is making Tut, Egghead, Shame or Bookworm, let alone the supporting cast so i consider this a very whole-hearted effort.

                        I hope the one all new exclusive is either Commissioner Gordon, Lee's Catwoman or False Face. Not counting the many variants I want to see or the ones we know who's coming from the card backs, these are the 3 characters I most want to see that have never been done before or announced/confirmed. I mean really, how can you have O'Hara without Gordon?

                            Well, it's quite puzzling, isn't it . But I think I now can guess what's coming.
                            You just have to read the first hint and put 2 and 2 together.

                              who is your guess?

                              Megomoose indicated ONE "NEW" 66 Batman character....maybe it's False Face or one of the Catwoman's
