    Do you want to see Wonder Twins, Apache Chief, Black Vulcan and Samurai?

    I wonder what complications or internal licensing hurdles are involved in making action figures of the Politically Correct Superfriends. I'm guessing there was a reason why we saw analogous characters in Justice League Unlimited, yet Apache Chief, Wonder Twins, and the rest could show up on Harvey Birdman.

    It appears that they are controlled by Hanna Barbera and not DC Comics?

    Given that Warner owns both Hanna Barbera and DC Comics, you would think that we would have seen toy versions already (and there is a precedence with Samurai in the Super Powers line). Given that they were able to pull off an SDCC Matty Collector Wonder Twins this year, perhaps there is a chance we can see Mego-likes?

    Samurai, Black Vulcan and Apache Chief were recently released in the JLU line. So they might be available to the retro series.

    I wouldn't mind seeing those figures if this line runs for several years, but I wouldn't want them at the expense of other characters more pivotal to the comics.

    I'd rather see:

    Black Lightning than Black Vulcan
    Martian Manhunter or Dr. Fate than Apache Chief
    Katanna or Manhunter than Samurai
    Any of the Teen Titans than Wonder Twins

        I'd love to have all of them but wouldn't want to miss out on (for instance) Hawkman because of them.

          They've all been released by Mattel in some form, so I guess its not a problem. Would ove to see all but the Wonder Twins never liked them.

            None are high on my list.

            There are too many better characters in the DC Universe that should come first.

            Doubt I would pick up the Wonder Twins. DCUC is enough for me.

                Black Lightning and Black Vulcan are two different guys, right? I really don't remember seeing either of them on Superfriends.

                I'd like to see Apache Chief, as he didn't seem to get much time onscreeen. As long as they don't use the Cochise head. Nothing wrong with the head, it's just too recognizable.

                AC would need a whole new sculpt in order to hook people.

                  The Wonder Twins are not on my list at all. I wish that they were never on the cartoon in the first place. But if they do make them than they should put them out as a double pack.

                    I'm more apt to believe we'll see Apachie Chief, Black Vulcan and Samurai as DCUC figures first before they would show up in the Retro line. However if we get 14, 15 or 16+ waves into the Retro line then who knows.

                      I would love to see all of these figures made. I want to see all of the Superfriends made! I agree that it would be nice to see some other more well known characters first. We will have to see if Mattel sticks with the Superfriends vibe of the first series. These would be good for Matty exclusives perhaps?

                          Yes! I'd love to see Samurai, Apache Chief, and Black Vulcan. Wonder Twins would be one that I would say I wanted, but then wouldn't buy when they came out. Jayna was hot, though.

                          Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                              Given those choices, The Wonder Twins, definitely.
