McFarlane Toys to do DC Superhero Action Figures

[married guy]

HOLY ****!!! OK, I am pre-ordering those Flash & Godspeed figures ASAP. They both look great.

Maybe we can get a better Wonder Woman figure from McFarlane.

Just picked up the movie Batcyle. It looks pretty sweet!

Now these could be fun. I wonder how big they are and if they come with any accessories?

I was watching this yesterday. I'm not really interested in the latest offerings.

Still waiting to see some of the Gotham Knights figures on the shelf.

The Ghost-Maker design is cool, and the figure looks great, but I don't care enough about him to buy it.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't want to come off as one of those guys who are all like "I never asked for that, so why did they make it!" but...was there ever really a big demand for this one? I mean, they could've gone with Penguin (the comic version), Riddler, Ra's, Scarecrow, Mat Hatter, Mr. Freeze, Huntress, or even Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (it just occurred to me how much I would LOVE that 2-pack). Or *gasp!* venture outside of the Bat Family and make a Power Girl, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Starfire, Wonder Girl, Hawkman, etc.

Is the theory that with a few exceptions like the movie figures, McFarlane more or less just gets to produce only the figures that he wants? Is that why so many of them are so edgelordy? That said, the Teen Titans animated Cyborg is one of my favorites from this line, so I'll give them credit for that.

They could do Supergirl, Shazam (non-Infected), Black Canary, Arsenal, Mister Miracle, Orion, Big Barda, Jessica Cruz, Sinestro, Deadman, Guy Gardner, Simon Baz, Avery Ho, Ray Palmer, Ryan Choi, Jonah Hex, Stargirl, Zatanna, Artemis, Ravager, Plastic Man, Cassandra Cain, Black Lightning, Kate Spencer, Vic Sage, Ragdoll, Steel, Apollo, Midnighter, Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Emiko Queen...I could be here all day.

So I guess my question is, why don't they?

I'm just waiting to see if McFarlane will make a Vixen action figure.

Or a Bronze Tiger.

The suggestion that the company can just make whatever they want still comes down to if retailers are interested in jumping on it.
