Maybe this large female body will lead to some other large female characters though! Granny Goodness anyone?


I whipped this up for some friends earlier today who had the same thought... I'm assuming there's actual legs under the skirt, so it's not that much of a stretch. The chin, the cheeks... that lines up pretty nice, and a lot of the details could just be painted on. Give her a glued-on hair piece, a new vinyl front to the sculpt, and a cape...

I'm sure *if* they made a Granny Goodness, it wouldn't be quite as show accurate, but I could definitely see them tweaking the Waller sculpt to get a new character.

I really wish we would get a different Supergirl and Stargirl but I doubt that's ever going to happen. Those two, even though I love them, are just so far off scale.

TG said that a new Supergirl is a no-brainer in her updated costume. Look for her to be announced at Wizard World.


I knew about that one. I was specifically referring to a new young Supergirl, in the costume we already have. I am VERY excited to be getting adult Supergirl!

Yeah the figure is cool, but I could think of alot of other characters that deserved a unique sculpt before her. Toyman, Hellgramite, STRIPE...
She just doesn't really fit the superhero/supervillain theme.

Although I guess this does show that more unique characters could be on the way.

It will probably be a Con or Matty exclusive. I just don't see how fat, black lady can appeal to kids at target. And we thought the Apokolips pack was pegwarming.

(Sorry for the double post. Didn't mean it.)
At the same time wouldn't be that interested in a Granny Goodness figure either.

Guess it just depends on your point of view. I agree with you regarding the retail situation. I would be shocked to see her at Target. I hope that IF she is a convention exclusive, she is eventually made available on Mattycollector.com just as Giganta was.

However, as far as deserving, I have to disagree. In terms of importance to the show, I don't believe there was a single other character more deserving. She had more screen time & more importance to the overall storyline than any other unmade character. I wasn't sure we'd ever see her, but she's long overdue.

Finally, someone gets it. :)

About time! She was the most important unmade character up until this reveal, and I'm glad to have her in the line. Now we need some more Suicide Squad members...

Well this is a surprise, I gotta say I never really expect Waller to make the cut. This makes me feel that we do stand a much better chance at other similar characters now though.
The sculpt looks great, and I don't mind if she is a Con Exclusive, although I doubt she'll be on her own, I guess she'll be part of a 3 or 6 pack, so now the guessing starts on who will be accompanying her.

Great news though, thanks Mattel!!


I think you hit the nail on the head. I 100% agree and will definitely get her either way.

Thanks for the pics Iron-Cow. Much appreciated. I think they could make a granny goodness out of that by maybe only tooling a new head, cape, and new arms.

I don't know if I'll go out of my way to buy her or not. I've got almost all the JLU figures to date...but mostly because I liked them. Not sure what I want to do here.

We'll see I suppose. I do think it'll be a cool figure for the collection, but until I make it a point to own every one, I'll probably pass.

I fully expect to see her at Target. Most likely in a 6 pack. If they really wanted Waller to fly off the shelves they would include her with any of the extremely hard to find figures (Deadshot, Big Barda, Obsidian).

I think I'll be adding her as a villian. She spent most of her time on the show fighting against the Justice League and I have a lot more heroes than villains.

They should do her with

Major Flag, Deadshot, Boomerang, Platic and the clock king (from the one JLA episode where they break into the watchtower). That's a six pack I'd buy for sure.
