McFarlane DC Multiverse

We've all seen or heard the massive leak lists. But if you could only have between like 1-5 more characters that ARE NOT on the leaked lists as Todd finishes things up, who would you want?

One of my main wants is Katana. I'd like her to go with the Outsiders. We have Batman, Geo Force, Black Lightning, and Metamorpho. So, I'd really like to have Katana for that team, and I just really like her. Also, she's a Birds of Prey member.

Also, seeing all the Bat-Villains Todd likely has coming, he really covers most of my main wants. Black Mask, Ivy, Ra's, Mad Hatter, etc.

But I'd really like to have Firefly and Talia. And I'd like to have Saint Walker to finish off the Lantern Corps leaders.

Those are just 4 that aren't mentioned that I'd love to have.

How about you guys.

Hush Nightwing
A Knight in Blüdhaven era Nightwing
Lex Luthor (Hackman)
Zod (Superman II)
Ursa (Superman II)
Non (Superman II)

An honorable mention would Batman (ice/winter suit from B&R) as that hasn't appeared on a leaked list.

Five theatrical figures I would want - Supergril (Helen Slater), Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine), Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson), Talia al Ghul (Marion Cotillard), Cheetah (Kristen Wiig)

I like the way you think. I can see Ra's and Alfred getting made, but I don't see Talia, unfortunately. I'd love to be proven wrong, though. If he ends up making Ra's and Alfred, then he might as well make her at that point, as she'd be the only major villain not represented in figure form (unless you count Bob)

Worse comes to worse, I've been thinking about maybe trying to kitbash a Talia and a decoy Ra's, but struggling to find parts that would be close. Not much in the way of ninja-esque tunics in the current day McFarlane catalogue, and I wanna avoid softgoods if I can.

What would boots and jeans Superman look like? Obviously I can picture it but is there a specific reference?

I just bought an extra Connor Kent in a lot for parts because I might maybe wanna make a Tom Welling Smallville. :)
 
I've been collecting DC figures for over 25 years. There are characters that have never been made in anywhere near this approximate scale that I really want, but they're mostly "civilians":

Jonathan and Martha Kent
Amanda Waller
Thomas, Martha and child Bruce Wayne (Crime Alley)
Iris Allen-West
A crap ton of previously unmade LOSH characters (Phantom Girl, Lightning Lass, Shrinking Violet, Duplicate Girl, Shadow Lass, etc)
Etta Candy
Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van (Jor-El has been made a few times but not the one I want to go with Lara)
Jesse Chambers
Vicki Vale
Morgan Edge
Maggie Sawyer
Weather Wizard

Obviously, there's a lot more but those are the ones that I want most off the top of my head. At this point I think that I'd prefer to buy most of those from Mattel than McFarlane anyway. I honestly expect to sell off most of my McFarlane stuff. Maybe they're even more likely to happen in Mattel's cheaper core kids line, which I think that I'd be just fine with, honestly - especially for the more boring civilian dressed type characters.

For McFarlane specifically I'm mildly surprised that we've never gotten Lois/Jimmy/Perry from the Daily Planet. I have the DC Direct Silver Age versions of those characters, though that work fine for me.

The problem with this new Golden-Age Batman is that he never looked like that in the Golden-Age. He was pretty much always blue and gray, not black and gray. The Silver-Age Batman (with Ace The Bat-Hound) is actually a more accurate GA Batman than this one.

The only one of these new figures I pre-ordered was the Az-Bats. I may still pick up the DKR figure, but I have a feeling that one will eventually end up on clearance. So I may wait it out.
 
Love seeing all the Outsiders love. My picks would be from that team, too. All original BATO looks: Katana, Halo, Metamorpho, Black Lightning, and Looker. I really want that team in a consistent style, and have wanted that since 1983 or so.

I'd actually be just as happy to see Super Powers versions to match Metamorpho (Black Lightning, Geo-Force, Katana, Halo, and Looker), since they'd be the perfect era for that line.
 
Not counting obvious ones like Lois Lane, these are the ones I'd like to see and I don't expect any of them (mostly Superman related):

  1. Superman Warworld Outfit (Superman: Exile)
  2. Superman "Krypton Man" Outfit (Superman: Day of the Krypton Man) with Eradicator artifact accessory
  3. Superman Hunter/Prey outfit (Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey)
  4. Jeans/T-Shirt (New 52)
  5. Conduit (Superman: The Death of Clark Kent)
  6. Team Luthor Armored Soldier (Supergirl & Team Luthor Special, various Post Crisis stories)
  7. Lex Luthor II (just make it a variant of Team Luthor - put a Lex II head on a soldier body, we can find a suited body later)
  8. Parachute Pants Brainiac
  9. 90's Brainiac (Superman: Panic in the Sky)
  10. Maxima (Superman: various appearances)
  11. Nero (Underworld Unleashed)
  12. Parasitic Aliens (Bloodlines)
  13. Jon Kent Superboy (Action Comics Rebirth)
I'm a Post Crisis Superman fan, if it wasn't obvious. As I said, I don't really expect any of these, but they would have been awesome.
 
Well, I went into a GameStop store and preordered Golden Age *proper* colors Batman 😁, 3x as a matter of fact, release date 5/27. Poor clerk was super-meticulous about it while the big guy dressed like movie Lobo picture-matched and UPC-matched and generally fussed. There were a couple Bloodwynds on the pegs, grabbed him while I was there.
 
Five last figures I'd like to see, that haven't been leaked or rumoured? Sure!

And I'll go with realistic options, I know I'm not going to get a Bronze Age Black Orchid or Ma Hunkel out of Todd. Also, I'm presuming we're getting a proper Bronze Age Green Arrow in that two-pack with Black Canary,

1. Lois Lane. C'mon, a good one, seriously.
2.Huntress, Helena Wayne BA style.
3. Mary Marvel. Like the Legion founders, having only the two guys will look incomplete. Need the threesome. And they can even half-ass one in black for a variant, like they did with Junior.
4. Vixen.
5. Johnny Thunder & Thunderbolt. Flipping expectation, as far as I'm concerned Johnny can be a plastic slug like Quisp or Krypto-- I'd rather see effort go to a decent T-Bolt, we've never had one beyond the little JLU figure.

I'm hoping to run into a Bloodwynd at some point. My goal is to have an entire McFarlane shelf set up as a Superman vs Doomsday diorama, using the characters from the Death of Superman story (90's JLA). I think we've pretty much got everyone, except for Maxima, but I don't remember offhand if she was part of the JLA at that point or not. I know she didn't show up to help fight until later, but I don't recall why. The looks might not be perfect, but Bloodwynd would be the last character from that fight I'd need.

That’s a tough one, because I haven’t collected this line with any real intent. It’s just a random collection of characters that I happen to like with acceptable (or better) figures. There are no teams to complete or grails to obtain. Even if McFarlane were to make every character on my list, there’s no guarantee that I would buy them. It would depend on how they actually turned out. However, with that in mind, and in the spirit of the question, I would like to see:

Mera (Rumored)
Metamorpho
The Creeper
Starman (Ted Knight)
Mary Marvel
