Even though Kalibak would require a new mold, for some reason he seems like he would fit in with the 6-packs they’ve been coming out lately.

Tala and Cheetah would only be made if they could retool an existing female mold. (Justice Lord WW?)

It’s a good list though.

If you’re going to do Vandal Savage, you have to do Future Superman (it’s such an easy repaint too!)

Most of these characters showed up on mnay epsisodes and our collection would be incomplete. To this i would add the ultimen, Tsokori, live wire, other future characters from that episode set in the future, the rest of the injustice gang.

Amanda Waller -I think enough has been said about her

Vandal Savage- Same as Waller

Mr. Terrific- The last Leaguer with a major speaking role that hasn’t been made next to…

STRIPE- Who even had action roles in more than ONE episode.

Tala- Played huge roles in both JLU seasons.

Cheetah- Prominent in Secret Society, and was active in the last episodes of JLU, but not as much as…

Killer Frost- Also prominent in Secret Society, and several episodes of the last series.

Devil Ray- Black Manta with a different name played a huge role in the last series.

Captain Boomerang- Of all the Flash Rogues, he’s the only one
to have a major role in two episodes.

Shadow Thief- Was a key villain in two episodes.

I would personally love to see Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, and Trickster made. But bias aside, I’d put them in the top 20, with the likes of Toyman, Clayface, Felix Faust, Dr. Polaris, Batman Beyond, Kalibak and the impossible to make Lobo.

Static, Warhawk, Chronos, Dr. Destiny and Manhunter Androids belong up there too. Along with the Ultimen.

Gentleman Ghost, Firefly, The Key, Heatwave, Goldface, Plastique, Rampage, Silver Banshee, Clock King and Metallo all made key appearances.

Grown up Supergirl would be cool.

Then Gypsy, Dr. Midnite, Hourman, Creeper and Commander Steel, Bwana Beast, Creeper, Crimson Avenger and Crimson Fox would be the final appearing members right? They had as much screen time as already-made Obsidian, Nemesis, Sand, Starman, Waverider, Blue Devil and Aztek. Some even more so.

At some point, Rho Talok and Luthoriac have to be in there somehow.

The Royal Flush gang might be too much to ask for. Even the Extremists. Jonah Hex, Warlord, Deadman, Blackhawk and Warhawk make up guest appearance characters who might merit figures. Legion of Super heroes and Fatal Five would be going way beyond the JLU at this point but I wouldn’t complain.

As far as that’s concerned, make three packs of good guys and their enemies. For example: Superman with Brainiac and Luthor, Batman with Joker and Copperhead/Deadshot (from the existing JLU roster), Aquaman with Devil Ray, Flash with Captain Cold and Captain Boomerang, GL with Sinestro and Star Sapphire.

I’m really afraid that the Infinite Heroes line will eclipse the JLU line because they have had the fans more in mind than the JLU team has. Thoughts?

My long-shot choice is seeing the Justice League as kids, either in a gift-set or multi-figure pack. Wouldn’t be that hard since they’d be able to use the Supergirl body for Wonder Woman and re-use the same body for young Superman, Batman and Green Lantern. Maybe throw in baby Etrigan as an accessory.

Have a good day.

The only other character I’d add to the list would be Harley Quinn. The old BTAS version from Hasbro is just too big for the JLU figures.

Overall – a great list. No arguement as to their importance on the show.

Captain Cold. Earned his place in the line AFTER his season 5 major role in the Flash Museum episode, along with Capt Boomerang and Trickster. Maybe not top 10, but they did have a speaking role and character development. Mirror Master’s being made before that episode still boggles my mind.

Batman Beyond. Not sure how clear this came across, but without Batman Beyond, the whole JL/JLU show might not have existed. JLU actually appeared for the first time in a two part Batman Beyond episode. When I first saw those episodes, I cried for joy at seeing an animated Justice League on TV. Older Superman inviting Terry Batman to join the League consisting of Supes, Barda, Warhawk, Aquagirl, Micron, and a young Green Lantern. I’d take them all in a heartbeat. The story I heard was that the next season of Batman Beyond was going to be mostly JLU and that that idea was a stepping stone toward the JL series we got.

As some other have said, there are some who come close. I’m looking across BatmanTAS, SupermanTAS, BatmanBeyond, Static Shock, etc.
A) Killer Frost. – Grodd’s Secret Society, To Another Shore (Viking Prince).
B) Warhawk. – BB The Call 1+2, Twisted Time.
C) Live Wire. – STAS multiple episodes, episode where Supes is blasted to the future.
D) Static – his own series Static Shock, where he met Batman, Robin, Superman, Green Lantern, the JL, Batman Beyond, and JLU Twisted Time. I’d take his current self, his adult version, and his future version.
E) Devil Ray (Black Manta) – To Another Shore, Deadman episode.

But not the background only characters.

Again, great blog, Chip!

Here’s hoping Mattel is listening. Guess we’ll see at SDCC.

Aside from the characters he has listed, I think alot of people see characters like Capt. Marvel and Capt. Cold as important due to the duality of DC Universe prominence and having just been on the show. There are alot of characters that are important to BOTH that are still left to be made, the one that stands out the most here is probably Cheetah, it’s just insane that she hasn’t been made yet.

What boggles my mind, is the crazy amount of show important characters and DCU in general important characters that can be made that appeared on the show, but we still get some odd balls tossed at us (Lashina! Forager! KG Beast!) all cool, but in the back of my mind I’m thinking (Shazam, Dr Mid-nite, Hourman, grrrrrrrr)

Moving on to the individual characters that Chip listed, as for the most part I agree, but here is my take….

Amanda Waller (aka The Walrus!) – Not only is she important to the show, but I think if Mattel actually made her, they’d see that the risk was worth it! In the past toy companies have been wary of making figures in business suits or female figures in general… BUT none of those have ever had the vast amount of character and sass as Amanda Waller. Heck, no matter what scale or line she is in… If she comes out, I’m BUYING IT!

Batman Beyond – While I agree he needs to be made in the JLU scale, I think he’s more deserving of his own spin off line in this scale. He has his own universe and being Batman would probably sell great! So I disagree it needs to be under the JLU banner, but agree he should be made (along with his cast) in the Timm animated style and scale .

Mr. Terrific – While I’m indifferent to the character for the most part, I think he should be made almost before anyone else.

Toyman – I want him, but he’s creepy. But I agree he should be made. I want the Superfriends version too.

Tala – This is a character that’s only in the cartoon (to the best of my knowledge) and being a strong supporter of wanting alot of comic based characters, I STILL want her. Volcana, who also is not in comics, is one of my favorite, if not my #1 figure! I’m hoping to see them both in comics someday.

Kalibak – While I’m happy to be getting Mantis and Lashina, mostly because Darkseid just isn’t himself without all of his minions, I think Kalibak should have also been made ages ago.

Cheetah – Ok, this character has been around across the board, JLU, Superfriends, Comics, etc. How is it possible she’s not a figure yet??? IN any incarnation?

STRIPE – Well, we have Star Girl (who actually isn’t bad done all polly pocket) but it’s like having Hawk without Dove!

Vandal Savage – He seems easy enough to make, I agree I’d like him made, but I do think it’s personal opinion on this guy, he’s not needed IMO, but he’d be great!

Supergirl – Last but not least. The one figure that should have been the crown gem of the entire line! One of the characters I’ve been waiting for since BIRTH to get a cool 4″ figure of… And we got a McDonalds happy meal toy>:( Mattel, if this is TRULY a collector series at this point. This figure has to be made correctly. I would take a remake of this figure before almost anyone on this entire list brand new! My greatest fear is that they finally make a Mary Marvel and release her in Polly Pocket too. I’d get arrested for flipping out in Target. I know I would.

Thanks for putting this list together Chip.

Kudos! I hope Mattel is reading…
