Which villains should they make for the JL figure line?

[Dark Knight]

Assuming Hasbro pulls through and makes a cool line of JL figures which villains would you like to see? I'd really like to have Hades. He had such a cool look to him, especially with the helmet on. Next Id like to have Deadshot. Sure he had a secondary role but I love his character. And finally, he's not a villain, but i also really hope they make a cool sculpt of aquaman, maybe with an interchangeable hook/hand.

As for who they probably will make, my bets are on Lex and Joker before anyone just because they're most popular, but after that they'll probably make a manhunter or something. I'm just plain hoping that the figures will be able to match the previous animated lines. That alone would make me happy.

I demand no character variations. I'd rather have an original secondary character than a Kryptonite Strike Superman or whatever they got these days.

Well, I would like a J'onn J'onzz as a Martian figure, :D.

As for villains, I want to get them all, but if I had to choose who I'd get first I'd have to say Lex Luthor, Star Sapphire, Deadshot, Felix Faust, the Manhunters, and Kanjar Ro. Of course, the rest of the Injustice Gang wouldn't hurt...

All the villains so far:

White Aliens
Manhunter
Kanjar Ro
Deadshot
Orm
Faust
Hades

Guest stars:

Aquaman
GL Corps
Amazons

And of course the 7 JLAers. :D

With Toy Fair only weeks away, I wonder if we will be happy or there will be nothing.

It starts February 10th in New York City and goes until February 15th. Figures.com is covering it starting on the 10th so maybe they'll have some news with any luck.

Joker, Joker, JOKER!!! Finally, a decent Joker action figure. The latest incarnation is by far the best...and creepiest adaptation of the Clown Prince of Crime. I liked the first version that appeared in BTAS. I didn't really care for the TNBA model, however it did make for an excellent WG Studio gallery maquette. :-) But the Joker that appeared in the BB:ROTJ flashback sequence is the greatest rendition of them all, with apologies to Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Dick Sprang, Marshall, Frank Miller, Kelly Jones, etc...I'd even say it's better than Bolland's Joker. Well, maybe they're tied for first.

But a figure of Joker Version 3.0 would kick *****!!! Now if only they actually make the Joker white this time! I'm sick of buying these Joker figs w/ minty complexions! That's my only complaint about the WB Studio maquette. But I'm not complaining. I was fortunate to have that item autographed by Paul Dini & Bruce Timm!!!

They kind of need to do the Joker that way. Most artists would inform you that straight white never looks good on a product. It's always a good idea to make it off-white--usually mixed with blue or gray--to give it a more realistic look.

What was wrong with TNBA Joker? It was my favorite Joker figure--he was way better than the first five.

Well, the Hasbro 7" Joker was the regular ol' white, and that worked well.

The TNBA Joker worked really well as a design (the action figure rules), but animated so horribly.

Well, TNBA Joker looks good in still pictures and in comic book format but not in animation. Besides, I missed the red lips. Also, I could never get TNBA Joker figure to stand straight. I guess he was top-heavy (?) but he'd always tip over. Really frustrating. As for the off-white theory, eh. I've got the Joker figure w/ him wearing the trenchcoat & hat. He's chalk white and looks marvelous. Also, I have the Hamlet pose Joker stat (he's white, looks great) and the Golden Age Joker stat (also white & marvelous). Also, the Harley Quinn figure was white, as well as the WB Maquette.

[Dark Knight]

Yeah I happen to Love TNBA Joker as well. I always thought it was way more unique and interesting than the BTAS version. There was something about the black eyes with white pupils that I just loved, and his scrawny angularness seemed so right when he was skipping around or dancing in circles (ala electocuting Superman in WF.)

But I must say that the ROTJ flashback Joker was much creepier. They kind of compromised and kept that fun and fancy free body and the too-perfect-for-real-life hair but gave him the more realitic eyes which stare right into you (especially when he's mad.)

I also am excited about probably getting a Joker 3.0, much like getting a Batman 3.0 (especially cuz I bet they'll make them first) but I also hope they try to make villains they've never done before as well, because I I'm content with the awesome "Wildcard Joker" for now.

I want a tie-able snake from Paradise Lost Part 1! :D j/k

I'd like to see the white Alien dudes, especially if they were molded to be hollow.

[Mattashell]

Do you guys miss the Super Powers and Secret Wars lines? In those days they really went out of their way to make a figure for just about everybody (I'm sure some were still left out). They didn't have particularly unique special features and that's how I like it. Nowdays every figure has to do something. And who wants a bright orange batman?

Yeah. I have an "inside" contact though that is going to a pre-show, so I should be able to get pics of the Batman hasbro figures before Figures.com does....

Well, he's mainly going for the Star Wars table, but I told him to take pics of the Batman table if Hasbro is making JL figs, then the JL figs should be next to the batman table)..
