    Do you want them to make Captain Cold or Reverse Flash more?

    I would say that most folks think that The Flash is a shoo-in for the new Mattel figures, but which villain do you want to see him released with?

    On the one hand, Captain Cold is the corresponding Challenge of the Superfriends figure, which makes sense, but on the other hand arguably his arch-nemesis is actually Professor Zoom the Reverse Flash.

    In an ideal world, we'd eventually get both Cold and Zoom, but which one do you want to see most?

    That's a tough one...I'm going to have to go with Professor Zoom, especially since he's had such a large impact on Flash in the comics.

    Captain Cold is going to be cool to have as well. I still have one of the Flash comics from when I was a kid with Captain Cold firing his freeze gun at Flash and Flash leaping out of his boots to attach on the cover! That was the first time I saw Captain Cold I believe!

        Seeing as how they appear to be duping the line-up from Challenge, I'd say Captain Cold....

          Putting aside who would sell better, I also feel that Captain Cold is visually more fun. I mean, some may say he's lame, but an 8 inch action figure with goggles and a furry parka hood - - - that has an old school Mego feel to me.

                Captain Cold, if its Zoom I'm skipping him.

                    Wow! I'd love to get a Captain Cold for a nickel

                    I'd buy both but I'd rather have Captain Cold first. Legion of Doom

                      That classic big comic that was released around the Mego Era
                      that has the villains running towards the heroes says it all...
                      CAPTAIN COLD is the man...if having Cold on that cover WASN'T inspired
                      by the his recent inclusion in the popular CHALLENGE lineup...then it might
                      as well have been...
                      (Cheetah, Lex, Joker, Sivana and Sinestro were also on it).

                      and YES Cold is more visually interesting than a yellow flash...
                      and because of thatREVERSE FLASH...is the absolute LAST
                      main Flash villain I'd like to see Mattel make....

                      after GRODD, MIRROR MASTER, CAPT. BOOMERANG, TRICKSTER, PIED PIPER,
                      ABRA CADABRA...
                      heck, I'd even prefer MR. ELEMENT before REVERSE FLASH.

                      The guys that helmed the Timm/Dini stuff for YEARS must've agreed with me too because they gave shoutouts to all those guys in one way or another,
                      and I remember NOTHIN' with REV FLASH in it.

                            I don't think that's much of a bottom line as DC DIRECT has released him
                            before at least once in that scale.
