Realistically......

[bizzaro megomauler]

what characters do you think will make the grade as far as new waves?
NOT who you want to see, but who the marketing guys will approve!

I think these guys are sure fire winners: a lock!
Robin
Joker
Penguin
Batgirl
Hawkman

Very possible
Red Tornado
Gentleman Ghost (he's been getting all kinds of toy love lately)
Grundy
Dr Fate
Spectre
Catwoman
Swamp Thing
Plastic man

I also think with the way these are selling, we will get an announcement that Wal Mart and or Target will be carrying them alongside the DC classics....

[thunderbolt]

I say move Plas and Catwoman up to the first group and drop Swamp Thing from the list. Also add in the Riddler there somewhere. And I highly doubt these will see the light of day at Wal-Mart or Target. The DC presence at both chains is shrinking and/or nonexistent.

[jimsmegos]

I like your way of thinking when it comes to more retailers snatching these up but I don't think it'll happen. But then again perhaps special 2 packs could be offered through Wal Mart's? Hmmmmm. that would be cool.

As far as my list, here we go:

Robin
Joker
Bizarro
Toyman
Scarecrow
Firestorm

Matty exclusives:
Black Vulcan
Samurai
Apache Chief
Giganta

[kadatasa]

My list or guess would include:

Hawkman
Joker
Robin
Riddler
Penguin
Catwoman
Grundy
Firestorm
Hawkgirl
Gentleman Ghost

[Mego Magyar]

I think the biggest obstacle is the pattern of Hero + matching Villain will limit what is produced. I'd love Hawkman & Hawkgirl but what villains go with them?

[bizzaro megomauler]

That's where you toss in a various leigon of doom member, Brainiac or Riddler, who is traditionally packed with Batman. GOD i can't wait until SDCC!!!

oh and how did I forget Firestorm! he would make any collection pop!

[thunderbolt]

I think the biggest obstacle is the pattern of Hero + matching Villain will limit what is produced. I'd love Hawkman & Hawkgirl but what villains go with them?

Gentleman Ghost, Shadow Thief, Toyman, Kanjar Ro to name a couple that would be good pairings for the Hawks.

[MEGO_SUPERMAN]

Robin
Joker
Penguin
Batgirl
Hawkman

I think those are a pretty safe bet. Maybe even a special 2 pack of Hawkman and Hawkwoman.

Other Possiblities:
Deadman
Abin Sur (heck it is GL suit and Pink Luthor Head)
Firestorm(strong maybe)
Clark Kent (Exclusive)
Hal Jordan (Flight suit Exclusive) GL is big this year with the movie
Riddler
Bizarro (Maybe)

Past that....anyone is a guess. So many opportunities....I can say now it makes me wish Marvel was on board with EMCE....would love a Hulk and such....must be patient.

[HardyGirl]

Robin
Batgirl
Supergirl
Joker
Riddler (maybe in the suit and bowler)
Catwoman
Braniac

[generic]

I think Hawkman is likely just because he's the only original member of the JLA that they haven't done yet. His wings and the lack of a solid villains are probably the two biggest reasons for them not to make him.

I would hope that Robin and Batgirl would be obvious choices and there are certainly a lot of great, recognizable villains to pair up with each of them (Joker, Penguin, Joker and Catwoman have already been done by Mego, but how can you have a DC Superhero line with Two-Face, but without a Joker?) Harley seems likely too.

Personally, I'd like to see the rest of the Legion of Doom, but I don't know how likely some of those characters would be. I'm pretty sure I'll need to make my own custom 12" Giganta eventually.

[MEGO_SUPERMAN]

SOLOMON GRUNDY.....with fat suit?

[callistofreak]

I would like to see

HAWKMAN
HAWKGIRL
DR. FATE
RIDDLER

Remember they don't want any more peg warmers.
Captain Cold comes close. If I see any new ones, hes it.
I'm a truck driver, last weekend checked 5 states and 11 TRU's.
lex, Sinestro & Captain Cold that was it if any?
No Universal Monsters, More Ghostbusters than you can carry.
And maybe 3 discounted Dr. Venture figures?
I love adding the new Matty's to the collection.
But soooo.... disapointed in the distrabution.
I would love to know what the production numbers are on these?
Anyone know??

[jwyblejr]

I'd like to see The Atom in one of the line ups. Black Canary too.

[bizzaro megomauler]

Atom is one of my favorites! should come with a lil atom. and a 12" giganta matty exclusive would rule!!!

[MEGO_SUPERMAN]

Gotta say the more I think it about it....a Doctor Fate would be very cool!
