I know of all these, but I was referring to specifically 1/12 super-articulated comic figures. Movie and other media designs count as other characters to me, unless they are indistuingishable from the comics.

For me, I have never bought a Batman or Superman figure, or any of the A-listers outside Aquaman-- primarily because most of them don't suit my wants, or the price is unjustifiable. I LOVE the look of Mafex Knightfall Batman, and Superman I'd have to kitbash as I NEED him to have a smiling head...

Oh that is so sexy... my best friend is in love with Shredder and I know she'll find that scar cute. Splendid rendition. I wonder if they'd ever do an April and Karai? The Mirage inspirations these have is exactly what I want for my collection, so those two getting releases would be a dream come...

This is maybe true. I could see Basics having mostly variants of the standard JL members and Bat-characters, with lots of heads and alternate expressions and lazy to make new characters related to them. But it could also just be a dumping ground for endless amounts of niche characters that only...

Many visits to Mattel HQ, all after several hours at all you can eat buffets and taking powerful laxatives.

If they start making characters like The Ray and Aztek exclusively as Basics figures, we'll have to team up to flood Mattel Headquarters in strongly worded letters.

A lot of updates on characters we very consistently get only slight variations on, as well-- I'd be all for it if it these single carded releases of every essential character in their evergreen looks were kept in-stock and reissued any time it's justified and needed.

100%, it would be a great excuse to reissue all the GotG members, finally wrap on that era of GotG (who do we have left... Phyla? Mantis? Jack Flag?) As well as bringing out Annihilation Thanos, Annihilus, and 90s Nova. All really solid additions to the line if they get to them.

If the Basics-equivalent line is the only way we get characters like Vigilante, Vibe, or Ragman, I'd be pissed off. But if it's how we get characters like Tomar-Re (i.e., easy headswaps), Alfred and other civilians (don't need crazy articulation for them, personally), or Geist (who the fuck...

Johnny Blaze is amazing and I hope we do keep small vehicle releases coming-- we still need John Blaze, Vengeance, and a few others. Could probably reissue Cosmic Ghost Rider as well. But the soft confirm for the Doc Samson leak is what most catches my eye. What a great way to kick off...

That's why I've been so excited for the prospect of Mattel DC, I just want the options. Having these massive spanning universes of characters in active circulation at various pricepoints is the dream for any large toyline. Cheap spot fillers for big names I'm not passionate about or insanely...

Also, the haul for the curious (idk if we have a thread for this). This counts for the full holidays, but I also got everything I asked for and then some surprises of my favorite things ever, so I'm perfectly happy. Having Vampirella makes me want to collect fodder and start on heads for...

Whether I jump in right off the bat just depends on character versions and such. If it's any form of classic trunks Batman, especially blue Batman, I might be in if the price is right. If Robin is Tim specifically, I'll buy him instantly. Will just have to wait and see.

Thank you everyone!! And to anyone else who may be celebrating, Happy Hannukah!!

Having such a lucky day. Last night, I was about to do my freelance work (tight deadlines rn), then my PC monitor just entirely died on me. Ma's new boyfriend just happened to have two spare monitors that are direct upgrades to mine, always wanted a dual monitor setup. Just got them, they're...
