    I won't argue that point.

      Prof.Zoom is better when called Reverse Flash. Sounds more evil or something. More like a bad guy!

        I think Captain Cold (if they make him) would be cool with his hood as part of his jacket and not molded on his head.

          I have a hard time seeing Zoom as more interesting than Cold. I think Cold would have more shelf-appeal.

          I'd really like to see Grodd, but as I've said in other threads, I can't see Mattel investing in tooling to do a proper gorrilla

            Mattel has been making Reverse Flash in the 3 3/4 inch scale,
            although I don't remember seeing him in the 6 inch scale.

            I always loved the Reverse Flash costume, but in drawing
            the comic, they would be no difference between them until
            the colorist colored the pages.

              Well, it could be figured out because the chest circles were either white,or black when inked.. it's easier altogether now though, the bolts face opposite directions.. they didn't always have opposite facing chest lightning bolts though, you're right. They always should have had opposite direction bolts though, but comic writers/artist were detail lazy, and toy manufactors just changed the colors. The main reason the original comic had the chest emblem bolt facing the same direction on Barry and Zoom was because it was an original costume of barry's that zoom modified to be his own. Still, if really thought out it should have been opposite facing from the get go.

              Original Reverse Flash look:


              Anyway, bolts go opposite directions now, easy to figure out who's who before coloring is applied.

                I don't know if this is a guess a much as a wish but I'd like a SHOCKING Wave 2 like:

                1.)WONDER WOMAN
                2.)CHEETAH
                3.)BATMAN
                4.)CATWOMAN

                Get an early start on the ladies! LOL!
                Whatever they put out will be cool if they stick to the Mego era comic book look.

                    lets get some unsung but cool figs in there.
                    SHAZAM! (think all corrected costume, would be KILLER!)
                    Black Manta (the fig you always wanted)
                    SGT.Rock! (more useful than Conan in the original line)
                    Plastic Man
                    The Atom
                    I am just TIRED of the predictible ones.

                      I don't like Zoom having a reversed lightning bolt. I like it the original way.

                        Love to see a Plastic Man and Atom get made. Black Manta would also be great. I'm also hoping - though this is probably unrealistic - for a Removable Helmet/Mask Hawkman. I think that would be really neat.

                            Can I ammend this by saying #4 above can be interchanged with Joker or Riddler as well because after staring at my Retro Green Arrow MOC for about an hour, I was envisioning what so many other heroes would look like. I can picture in my head how bad *** Joker and Riddler would look as well!

                            I will definitely "collect them all" as long as they stay "retro" when picking the characters too. Seeing, say, a Red and Blue Superman come out would ruin the whole deal for me.

                              Knowing Paul and Joe I would say they probably have some sweet characters in store for us in the coming years. And I'm guessing Superman Red and Blue are not amoung them.

                                It would stand to reason that John Stewart GL will be in an early wave. Remember how quickly his being in the first wave was announced, and then un-announced?
