It always amazes me how us older collectors wish for the less-known characters rather than the well-known ones. The reality is that the success of this line depends on how many units are sold and Mattel could probably sell more of their fifith version of Batman than the first Kamandi figure in 8 inch scale.
Look at those WWE figs....there must be 100 different Rey Mysterio figures. While I'd love to see the little known characters as well, I'd rather see the line make 35 waves so I'm more than willing to tolerate as many "predictable" character choices as they have.
Solomon Grundy and other SuperFriends guys are on my wish list, but no matter who is released (even Guy Guardiner - yuck), I'll still be excited to see the new ones coming!Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

I understand what you are saying regarding the success of the line and that they need to be selective with character choices, but 35 waves and no offshoot characters? Really?Comment

How do you think 35 waves of DC characters... (ie, 140 figures in all) could exist unless they tap into C- and D-tier characters? Unless you want 20 variations of Batman, 20 variations of Superman etc... if so, have fun, I'm not buying them.

The concern is that if there AREN'T endless version Batmen and Supermen in the wave, the line may not sell well enough to even GET to line 35. Because the oddball unknown characters don't sell in sustainable numbers (and the batvariants DO), no matter how bad we all want a factory-made Killer Moth and Ambush Bug reMego.Comment

Well, these are the retro-action characters I'd like to see, and they aren't really that 'lesser-known', either:
Lois Lane
Jimmy Olsen
Perry White
Commissioner Gordon
Alfred Pennyworth
Just to name a few."...You can capture the Klingon & bring him back to the Enterprise!"Comment

UPDATE: 10/01/10, just ran across the only RA Superman I've seen at retail and snagged him.Comment
