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

    I get the feelin' any REVERSE FLASH that has been sold in the past hasn't been a big seller...anyone know anything to the contrary?

        I'm ok with either character, but as far as figures, definately Cap'n Cold. It'd be cool to have a bunch of Super-Friends Legion of Doomers.

            Dang yeah

            I think outside of maybe GRODD (and Cold of course), and maybe
            Capt. Boomerang...MIRROR MASTER has to be my top wanted.

              JLU had one but I don't know if it was sold seperately from a 3-pack.
              The character was never on the show, so it was touted kinda
              as REV FLASH and kinda as a JUSTICE LORD character...any way
              to get a repaint going on I guess.

              I also think the new DCU 4 inch line had one, and if it did, I doubt he sold
              all that well.

                Reverse Flash doesn't have to be a repaint...he could have a more evil looking Face Sculpt...kinda P'OD.

                    I want a big ol' Gorilla Grodd, but if I had to choose one of the two mentioned, I'd go with Captain Cold. I like the idea of that Parka in Mego scale. Gorillas are cooler though
                    It's all good!

                      He doesn't HAVE to be a repaint...but I think that's exactly what he was
                      in the line I was referring to (JL/JLU)...

                      ...and, yeah, it WOULD be a good idea for a different "face" for the
                      REVERSE FLASH character if MATTEL makes one for the RETRO line,

                      but even IF they do, the odds are that the headsculpt will be a variation
                      on FLASH, not an entirely new sculpt and everything else will just be a color
                      reversal.

                      Bottom line...REVERSE FLASH, as much as he is a part of FLASH's rogues
                      gallery, he's a lazy character choice for any toy line that also includes FLASH.

                          How would you guys like Captain Cold to be represented... with separate furry parka hood that you can pull on and off with removable snow glasses, or the parka hood and glasses as part of the head-mold?

                          I'm sure it would be very easy to paint angry eyes on Zoom and give him gritted teeth or something to differentiate his head sculpt from Barry's (I'm of course making assumptions about Barry, but it is a retro-line after all. Wally is an easy variant).

                            Actually,I was thinking of the one from the Total Justice line. Did that one sell out or no?

                              Reverse flash is the easy way for Mattel to go....so I think he would be put on the back burner for now..... I think captain cold would be the better choice right now

                                I agree, make Captain Cold now. Reverse Flash is an easy repaint for Mattel and can be brought out later in the line. I do want them both eventually!
