Joker and Penguin by Mattel...

[Brown Bear]

We can all bank on seeing Joker sooner than later. He's too popular.

But as much as I love Penguin...I agree with above. Let's focus on unreleased bad guys first. I'd rather a new Scarecrow than a second Penguin.

I like to have unreleased characters too but I really think all the figures Mego did should be done again in Mattel style. For me these are not enough like Mego to where I can display them with old Megos. They just don't look right with each other IMO. So I really want Joker,Penguin and Riddler done again by Mattel. I think they'll be much better. Though I admit the heads of both Mego's Joker and Penguin were easily two of the best heads Mego ever did. Mattel will have to work very hard to live up to them. I also hope Penguin by Mattel is shorter.

Who says Two-Face is a fourth stringer by the way?

He might have been a fourth stringer back in the sixties (but then again so was Riddler before the TV show), but you don't get featured in TWO Major Batman films (one of which is amongst the highest grossing films of all time) and not make the A-list.

If Mattel redoes them, they definitely should improve on them. If we absolutely have to get these guys again, I'm okay with getting 'variants' of them. If they're as faithful to the originals as Green Arrow was, I don't know if I'd buy. The only reason I'm buying Superman is because of the different head sculpt. The only reason I'm buying an Aquaman is the improved costume. The only reason I'm buying Batman is that the cowl is painted black on the front.

Oh how I'd love to see a Mattel Penguin...

But Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy would be just as nice ;-)

See I thought Mattel's Green Arrow was much nicer then what Mego did. Whereas with Superman I didn't see much difference at all between Mego and Mattel. I thought Superman was closer to the Mego then Green Arrow was. I actually have to admit I think Mego's Superman outfit was slighter better. I didn't care for the fact his shorts on the Mattel version was about 4 shades lighter in red then the boots and cape. I did think the Mattel cape was better though.

I heard rumors of Clint Eastwood being a possibility for trying out for the show.

"I know what you're thinking, punk. Did I flip the coi twice, or only once? Well, to tell you the truth, with all this excitement, I think I'm just going to kill you anyway!!!!"

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

I dunno, to be honest, I never even heard of Two Face until Tommy Lee Jones played him in that Batman movie.

He might be popular now, but still not as popular as the old standards.

Are you friggin kidding me?
He was in almost every comic and cartoon ever done, well before TLJ

[thunderbolt]

He didn't get into cartoons till the Bruce Timm series, Thomas.

That was just figure of speech, I just meant that he's a well known Batvillain, long before Tommy Lee Jones played him

[Mikey]

If he was not in the '66 TV series or Superfriends, he was not a popular Bat villian and that's why I never heard of him.

I don't know about Superfriends, but he wasn't in the 66 TV series because he was deemed too scary

I sure hope we get an old school Mr. Freeze. I'll be buying the entire Batman line for sure.

[DocDrako]

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

Me too!

My son loves every figure that has come out/been announced so far and is eager to have them all. He really likes Wave 2.
