The Infinite Heroes surprised the pants right off me. There's a lot of potential there...hope they fix Supergirl and Wonder Girl's nasty faces.

that would be my pick too - I had no idea these were coming, aside from the Q&A where TG talked about the 4" Joker. I figured it would be a DK line.

The 4" DC line. If they give me JSA & Flash related characters then I'm doomed!

And a BIG surprise was the Scut Farkus figure from A Christmas Story.

You are SO doomed!

I saw Jay Garrick, Wildcat, Zoom, and Weather Wizard.

Infinite Heroes was the biggest surprise but a close second had to be the upcoming switch in the wrestling licenses.

Oh, and the GI Joe DVD packs with the Build-a-Mass-Device!

So far for me it's Infinite Heroes. Didn't think Mattel would produce yet another line of DC characters.

Toss in the MA Hawkman, Black Adam, Shazam & the rumored Mr. Terrific & Power Girl & I'm afraid that you're right!

Infinite Heroes - not that they're doing them, but at the incredible character selection:

Batman
Hush
Commissioner Gordon!
GCPD cops!
GCPD SWAT!
Hawkman
Thanagarian cops!
Flash
Weather Wizard!
Mirror Master
Catwoman
Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Black Canary
Bizarro
Supergirl
Wonder Girl!
Metropolis Police!
Wildcat!
Jay Garrick Flash!
Professor Zoom!
Black Adam!
Batwoman!
Black Hand!
Killer Croc
Power Girl
And that strange armored dude that looks like he wandered over from the GI Joe display...

Plus all the characters on the box: Captain Atom, Robin, Katana, Ice Maiden, Grace!, Heat Wave, Aquaman (current design), Dr. Fate, Animal Man!, Captain Marvel!, Mr. Terrific!

And what's worse is that I feel like they've bearly scratched the surface of the characters - so many DCSH/DCUC characters that haven't even show up yet... given my love of the 3 3/4" scale and my love of the DCU, my wallet is in so much trouble...

He's probably talking about all the characters on that background insert in the GCPD box mock-up.

Oh...well, that really doesn't mean anything.

Infinite Heroes. I didn't expect this line at all, but it is the depth of the character selection that really caught me off-guard.

Gotta go with Infinite Heroes.

Really kind of makes me feel like Mattel thinks I have Infinite Income.
