He has never been a big guy and the suited figure of him is just bad. I just hope they don't use the Jack Knight Starman buck for T-shirt Superboy, as it would be too big, but they could use it for DCnU T-shirt Superman. But I agree with Jim, they really need to step back and fully consider what buck peices they have, what ones they need, and use them appropriately to make figures accurate. I mean they need to look at the long game, if they had done a bit of retooling to the Etrigan buck, we could've had a much better Bane and Lobo.

you_will_forget wrote: 2 Superman characters 1 Wonder Woman character 1 Green Lantern character 1 Aquaman character 1 JSA character 1 "team completer" (Metal Men/Doom Patrol for example) 1 Legion of Superheroes character 1 New God/Kirby-based character
I would also have ratios in place such as:
At least three characters in Golden Age costumes At least three characters in Silver Age costumes How would you make it work for everyone? Jo Thats the problem- it will never work for everyone-there are just too many characters and too many diverse interestas..- THat list above is everything I wont buy (unless the team completer is Suicide Squad or Secret Six)-- - since that would be 9/16 meaning more than 50% that I dont want-- (and in trying to sell thunder punch he Man-- I dont think I really want to try and sell all the figures I dont want-- I will just pay the couple extra dollars and buy the figures I do want- and if the line ends so be it-and that is exactly why I didnt get a sub this year the not wants well exceeded the wants- because unless they can guarantee me a Spoiler-- I really could care less about it, if the line ends- so be it.., Ill just continue to pick those characters I do want..

Certainly, no list will ever fit everyone - that's kind of the point of the thread. If your wants or interests are very specific, then there's a much lower chance of them coming up with a formula that will work for you. Personally, I'd prefer no Batman or Superman characters and just have costumes from the last 20 years, but I know that wouldn't sell to guys like Superfly, or Batman fans. Give it a go - don't name any specific figures, just a breakdown of what split would make a sub that you would buy, as well as selling to the majority year after year. I found it quite fun, if nothing else  Jo Getting a bit sick of some of the arguing in the other sub threads

I want a mix of all aspects of the DCU. There should always be a representation of obscure characters like Amethyst and characters who were unlikely at retail for various reasons (Constantine, Death, Dream, Captain Carrot, Amanda Waller, etc....)
