    Joker and Penguin by Mattel...

    After seeing what they did with Two Face I would really love to see Penguin and Joker done in actual suits too. Not just the one piece jumpsuit but an actual shirt,tie,vest,pants and jacket. I was thinking they wouldn't do it that way but if a 4th stringer villian like Two Face can get such a great treatment then I'm sure the two hottest selling Mego foes Joker and Penguin can get a nice updated look too. I really hope EMCE is going to do this.

    That's not a bad idea, but I'd rather see previously unmade villains get the nod first.

        How about with a Marshall Rogers headsculpt? Other than the Golden Age version by Jerry Robinson, Rogers is one of my favorite Joker artists. It would also be cool if he came with a Laughing Fish and the card that has become part of the story behind his creation.

        I agree that it would be better to see characters that haven't been made get released first, but c'mon, it's the Joker. You know we have to get him at some point. How often does a superhero toy line feature Batman and not Mr. J?

          Likewise. I'd prefer the ratio of remade figures be 3 new/1 remake per wave. Especially Joker and Penguin - whose original Megos are pretty good. But given his marketability and status as a batfoe, I'm actually surprised we don't already have a Joker figure announced.

            I'd like to see a lot less villians, actually...

                Personally I like the hero/villain ratio as is and hope it continues.

                  Exactly, you can hardly call Two-Face a fourth stringer, he's one of the main villains, along side Joker and Penguin

                    He's probably 5th overall on a Bat-villain recognizability chart. Right behind Joker, Pengy, Riddler and Catwoman. Still amazed he never made it to the 66 show.

                      I would love to see Joker and Penguin in full costumes in stead of a one piece jumpsuit. I would also love to see new, never released villains like Mr.Freeze, the Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and many more. Still, we're talking Joker and Penguin here. It's almost impossible to ignore the sure succes these would have when rereleased. I think we'll probably see them before any others. All we can do, is hope the line is a huge succes and others will eventually be released

                        He was considered too scary

                          I heard rumors of Clint Eastwood being a possibility for trying out for the show and they were going to just make half of his face either green or pink with a scar or two on it and do the half and half suit thing instead of making him horribly disfigured.

                            I know about the Clint Eastwood rumor, never heard about the scars tho. But as far as I've heard there never really were plans to do him

                              Yep, Eastwood was going to be the man for the part. Still like my fantasy casting of Shatner. Frank Sinatra wanted to be the Joker, but I guess Romero beat him to it. He would have been a cool Two Face, too.
