    Have you seen the masses of DCUC Captain Colds peg-warming at Wal-Marts and Toy-R-Us stores EVERYWHERE ? I doubt the general public would be lining up to purchase a guy with goofy goggles wearing a snow parka.

    My Guesses:
    Wave 2
    -Batman
    -Two-Face
    -Flash
    -Reverse-Flash

    Wave 3
    -Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!)
    -Black Adam
    -Robin
    -Riddler

    Wave 4
    -Aquaman
    -Black Manta
    -Batgirl
    -Joker

      I like these except I'd replace Reverse Flash with Captain Boomerang! He'd be a GREAT looking figure and surely a character the kids would like!

      The rest of your picks are awesome!

        I would like to see them slip in Golden Agers with each assortment, but I'm sure that won't happen.

          2 Jokers? Both in wave 3 and wave 4? I think you meant Riddler in one of those?

            Captain Cold - goofy. C'mon that ski parker rocks it!!! I don't know about that proposed Wave 3 - only one new figure in it (Black Adam). 3 of those figures would be remakes.

                Oops, you are absolutely right! I had intended Joker for Wave 3, then thought he'd go better in a Wave 4 with Batgirl, seeing as he crippled her and all! Actually, I don't expect any Gals for a while, Batgirl was more of a "wish list" item!

                  Ooh, good call on Captain Boomerang! I'd be satisfied with him over Zoom.

                        Heck yeah! He lends himself to being an action figure in costume and design; he is a classic Flash foe...and he'd obviously have accessories; another advantage/selling point over just a Reverse Flash. Plus, every kid knows what a boomerang is so he'd be an immediate hit I think!

                          Batman
                          Two-Face
                          Flash
                          Captian Cold

                          Not that EMCE/Mattel is gonna use the same formula for every wave but IF they do this wave follows wave 1 :

                          Batman- Re-Do of Mego DC heavy hitter ala wave 1 Superman
                          Two-Face- Villian for heavy hitter hero not produced by Mego ala wave 1 Luthor
                          Flash- Hero not produced by Mego ala Green Latern
                          Captian Cold-Villian for above Hero (this could be professor Zoom too I suppose) ala Sinestro

                          Anyway all just fun speculation on my part, just can't wait to be able to walk into a Toys R Us and see these hanging on the shelves

                          Well 2 out of 4 ani't bad and It could be argued I was on the right track,
                          but I have no problem being wrong with Aquaman and Black Manta coming in wave 2. I better flash and the good captian will be in wave 3...
