One More Wave

Recommended Posts

Screw 'em (DCD that is) i won't beg them to take my money, still plenty of other fine minimate lines to buy, and i can guarantee that my x number of dollars that would have gone to buying Dc mates will go to some other mates line not some other DC figure line so their loss i guess.

DC is dead, long live Minimates!

Have to say I agree. DCD won't get another cent of mine if minimates are cancelled. I don't care what they make or how cool it is - if DC Mates are done, I'm done with DCD. Brewer sucks donkey balls. We certainly need another Alex Ross line and more SuperBats figures that don't fit scale-wise with ANYTHING they've made in years past.

Yeah, good decision Georg. No wonder most DCD fans are jumping ship to Mattel....

If not for those amazing 13 inch deluxe figures, I would 100 percent agree. . .so I guess I agree 90% or so with you there. . .DCD does most assuredly suck if they cancel the Minimates while trudging out more stupid "armored Justice League" figures or whatever the hell that crap is.

DCD will be back with Minimates. That is my guess.

Well you were right the first time...

My guess is wave 8 is the finish line for DC.

...so I hope your clairvoyant streak continues!

As for the 'Final Wave' the only thing that will make me happy is:

Dr. Manhattan/Silk Spectre II

Ozymandias/Bubastis

Rorschach/Nite Owl II

Comedian/Sally Juspeczyk (aka Silk Spectre I)

Green Martian Manhunter / Atom (w/mini-Atom accessory)

Black Canary / 2.5" Darkseid

Changling (Beast Boy) / Two Face

Alan Scott Green Lantern / 2.5" Solomon Grundy

This would wrap up the core JLA, Teen Titans, and JSA while giving us three top villians. A final, final wave would be:

Poison Ivy / Mr. Freeze

Professor Zoom / Black Adam

2.5" Doomsday / Plastic Man

2.5" Swamp Thing / Jonah Hex

Ah hell. They would then need to make a final, final, final wave:

Scarecrow / Ras Al Ghul

Elongated Man / Zartanna

Kyle Rayner Green Lantern / Mr. Terrific

Dr. Midnight / Hourman

Lastly, a four character AFX Exclusive box set.

Bart Allen Flash

Captain Cold

Weather Wizard

Captain Boomerrang

And a Previews Exclusive "Crisis" 2-Pack:

Firestorm / Psycho Pirate

And end it all with an SDCC 2008 Exclusive:

Blue Devil

It's really difficult to reduce it down to just one more wave, there are so many characters that i'd still want them to make, but here goes

Two-Face / Hush

Orion / Darkseid(2.5")

Modern Robin / Ras Al Ghul

Donna Troy / Jason Todd

So after much internal debating, I've narrowed it down to:

Mr. Miracle/Big Barda

Dr. Mid-Nite/Hourman

Martian Manhunter/ Firestorm

Black Canary/ Huntress

Which leaves no room for the Atom, Two Face, or Alan Scott, all of whom I'd also say are essential. So let's add:

The Atom/ Adam Strange

Two Face/ Modern Robin

Alan Scott GL/ Solomon Grundy

Orion/Lightray

And hell, we might as well throw in an exclusive too, right? Which would be:

Animal Man

Throw in a Vertigo Box set:

Sandman

Death

Swamp Thing

John Constantine

...and I'd at least be appeased, if not satisfied.

doomsday/darkseid (both 2.5)

alan scott/grundy (2.5)

two face/mr freeze

martian manhunter/scarecrow

This would be quite similar to what I would want for a final wave, although I would choose;

Two-face/OYL Robin (Tim Drake)

GL Alan Scott/Solomon Grundy

Captain Cold/Mr. Freeze

Martian Manhunter/Black Canary

That should round out the Justice League and JSA more or less, give us an interestingly-themed villain pack and give Batman his sidekick and more villains. It's also a selection that could give us a few interesting accessories and new parts sculpts.

Now that's what I call a 'Cool' pack.

I'm sorry, someone had to say it.

And I lost your respect for punning in the Minimate food thread! :P

I did think it would be n-ice myself. I think they did team up in the Superman/Batman 'Public Enemies' story arc.

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...
  • 4 weeks later...

let's see... for one last wave i'd go with:

Alan Scott/ Solomon Grundy

Martian Manhunter/ Two-Face

Donna Troy/ Kyle Rayner

Red Son Batman/ Red Son Green Lantern

and two box sets:

Doom Patrol (Robotman, Crazy Jane, Rebis, Joshua Clay with clear orange hands)

and

New Gods (Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, Orion, Darkseid)

then the series would be PERFECT.

the biggest heart ache is that this line was so close to covering every thing that I love about DC.... <sigh>

KYLE RAYNER / JADE (or Donna.. just someone Kyle can snuggle)

ALAN SCOTT / GRUNDY

RED ARROW / BLACK CANARY

MARTIAN MANHUNTER / THE ATOM

(runners up: Black Lightning / Vixen. I really loved the rebooted JLA last year until they lost Hal)
