[LOU]

WAVE 5
1.) HAWKMAN
2.) GRUNDY
3.) SUPERGIRL
4.) BRAINIAC

WAVE 6
1.) ROBIN
2.) JOKER
3.) BATGIRL
4.) RIDDLER

Oh yes!!! One can dream!

[Kal-El]

I would like a Catwoman and Star Sapphire. But I know that will never happen Ya I know I'm Mr. Positive.

[Afaninfull]

Would love to see Lou's wave 6 line and how about a Joker paired with Harley Quinn. Mr. Freeze would be a really cool one, too, but after Captain Cold I don't see that happening for awhile.

My dream would be Mary Marvel in red and Captain Marvel Jr.

I am so excited to see what February brings. I think it will be a mix of old and new. And if somebody would get the James Bond 007 license...

[LOU]

Oh yes, there must be a Catwoman too Kal-El!

Sooo
WAVE 7
1.) RED TORNADO
2.) CATWOMAN
3.) ATOM
4.) WEATHER WIZARD

[Brown Bear]

I'd be pumped for a SF version of Brainiac along with Bizarro and Grundy!

[Random Axe]

Now that Mattel has released, or almost released all seven of the original seven Justice League members, all bets are off.

I really don't see them catering 100 percent to the collectors market in 2011. I think the key to their success will be in making the best looking, most vibrant figures regardless of popluarity. Characters with the best visual appeal will make the cuts before high profile secondary ones.

Examples of visually appealing characters:

Booster Gold - Not a big following here, but his color scheme would pop. I know he had a poor sell-thru in the DCUC line, but the blister packaging would make the figure more prominant and in-your-face that DCUC did.

The Atom - Simple blue/red scheme. You can't go wrong with primary colors.

Deathstroke - No-brainer here. Keep the Perez design. Accessories might be a problem.

Robin - Striking design mixed with classic character. Any version would sell.

Connor Kent Superboy - He has a fresh, contemporary look. Plus he has jeans.

Captain Atom - He's silver.

I may be way the hell off on this, and Mattel does the typical hero/villain thing. They are a bit unpredictable. It took 15 waves of DCUC to get a martian Manhunter figure? I'd just like to see them go away from the classic way of thinking and just make the best looking line of figures regardless of any other factors. I'm not saying go out and make Clock King and Vandal Savage yet, but they have to find common ground between popularity, visuals and just plain cool.

I just want them to create the most striking and coolest looking figures I know they are capable of making.

Last year at Toy Fair we showed wave 2 for the first time.

[MeWantMegos]

Someone asked how do these things get decided...

I believe Dr. Mego said something like that he and his colleagues give input but Mattel has the final word.

I would think that these decisions are impacted by what else is going on in the DC Universe on different fronts...like the Shazam DVD seems to pave the way (a little) for the EMCE Shazam toy...Or that putting Green Lantern in Wave 1 was meant to pave the way for the big movie. But I'm just guessing.

I also love that Robin, Batgirl, Supergirl, Batvillain list (Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler)

[Brown Bear]

If I were betting, I'd put my money on Brainiac and Robin.

[huedell]

"Grundy want to destroy Superman!"

Oh hell yeah! (but no padded muscles please)

I must've read you say "no padded muscles for Grundy" three times already.

Personally, I'm pretty much hoping for padded muscles for Grundy
in order to be consistent with Darkseid.

I thought it was a great Megoey solution for the bigger characters
and even tho' I'd be fine with a new body, if the padded muscles make
it easier for MATTEL then they have my support.

[LonnieFisher]

They can have stuffed bodies and rubber heads.

[Brown Bear]

I don't like stuffing on my mego's. I'd prefer a new muscle body.

(make that 4 times I said it now. )

[THE FALCON]

I've been playing Lego Batman lately as The Joker. It just makes me wish I had a RA Joker even more now. I really hope he's in the next wave.

[hedrap]

My choices, preferences by row

1. Grodd, Brainiac, Hawkman, Metamorpho,

2. Atom, Plastic Man, Scarecrow, Bizarro

3. Mr. Freeze, Grundy, Firestorm, Hawkgirl

I think Catwoman is a done deal by this point.

[GoldBlade6]

I hope they still stay in the same era though, so I hope they continue to build the line with Super Friends and Super Powers characters and characters of the era such as (in no particular order):

Firestorm
Hawkman
Dr. Fate
Cyborg
Plastic Man
Mr. Miracle
Blue Devil
Creeper
Obsidian
Red Tornado
Black Canary
Batgirl
Supergirl
Samurai
Cyclotron
Golden Pharaoh
Black Vulcan
El Dorado
Zan
Jayna
Wendy (SDCC?)
Marvin (SDCC?)
Robin (Teen Body)
Aqualad (Teen Body)
Speedy (Teen Body)
Kid Flash (Teen Body)
Wonder Girl (Teen Body)

Toyman
Riddler
Joker
Penguin
Bizarro
Braniac
Scarecrow
Mr. Mxyzptlk
Mr. Freeze
Manhunter
Deathstroke
Reverse Flash
Vigilante
Man-Bat
Grundy
Darkseid's henchman (Tyr, Desaad, Steppenwolf, Kalibak, etc.)

With 4 figures a wave, that could take us through about 11 waves!
