As much as I'd like to see my "five year plan" put into place at Mattel, I'm not too optimistic about it happening. However, the list below is realistic for Mattel (IMHO), because DCD/DCC has already made them. Of couse this would all be six inch scale and 4H style. In no particular order...

Not sure why you think DCD making a figure means it justifies Mattel making it. I often argued the opposite, that Mattel and DCD should take more notice of what the other was doing, even coordinate so they did not release the same figure too close to each other. Superman has enough demand to sell multiple times, I'm not sure there are enough fans of Max Mercury to justify a figure in both lines. Especially since Max Mercury is one of the DCD figures I see hanging on the pegs of the local comic store even today.

I think Mattel could be persuaded to include one or two fan demanded characters as long as they fit the pattern demonstrated by their current planned release. TV / movie versions of featured characters with a few comic versions tossed in.

Well first of all this is basically a personal wishlist for figures I'd like to see Mattel take a crack at. I don't actually expect this to happen. But the fact is I'd love to see New Frontier, Kingdom Come, Dark Knight, Red Son, nU 52 E-2, or Flashpoint figures all done 4H style/scale instead of the shotgun DCD approach. It does fit with "Multiversity" after all. I just happen to prefer the comic Multiverse instead of the multi media Multiverse.

I wouldn't mind getting all of these Kingdom Come figures again.

Anyway, I would prefer to see Mattel release some more movie and TV inspired figures in the mix, like Superman Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter Wonder Woman.

To me, Kingdom Come figures in a Multiverse line is a no brainer.

It was revealed on an interview that DC itself mostly asked for certain characters to be put in waves regardless if they appeared in DCD/DCC release schedules. Mattel had retail and DCD/DCC had specialty shops. To create character/brand awareness in the consumer you'll probably want to hit both groups at similar times.

Take Ocean Master; he was released by DCD, but Mattel had a logistical problem to include him around the same time so he ended up getting released at the line's end even though he was sculpted way back.

If we get at least 4 waves next year, I'll be happy.

If we get at least 3 characters in classic DCUC looks (Jade, Warlord, Angle Man, Scarecrow, Metallo, etc..) next year, I'll be ecstatic.
