Got Batwoman and Orion today. 

Sad to see the series end before more New Gods made it into the line. I want Kalibak, a Parademon, Granny Goodness, Desaad, High Father, Black Racer... Ah heck, I want them all, really. 

Too bad.

Only a few more DC figures that I wanted.  I wasn't pleased with many of their upcoming choices.  Guess I'll start expanding my Marvel side.

I wonder what the  Blackest Night sub-line had on this desicion.  This could be very bad news for those of us hoping for a new line of re-dos or whatever else they might have come up with.

Sets me to wonderin' which existing figure (DC or Marvel) would make a good Lightray conversion. Angel has the right hair.

Still wish they had managed a Dick Grayson Robin before stopping the line.

Best to plan now and get your hands on whatever figures you need while you can, these just get more scarce and more expensive.  I need another Polaris for Snowbird for sure.  Time to decide on the rest of Omega Flight as well.

I really would have liked to have seen EM get around to doing the Metal Men and the Doom Patrol.

Still waiting for Dr. Mid-Nite to arrive.

Those would have been good choices Bill, along with more Legionaries and JSA'ers. I'd have liked a few more villains too.

I'm still not going to buy the chess sets.

I agree with the Doom Patrol.  Shame Eaglemoss didn't fit them in.  Would have liked a Despero (original please) and a Felix Faust as well.  Just personal choices.

As noted, this is what I found wrong with the DC figurines, as distinct from the Marvel series. It took a while for the Marvel collection to wander off into truly lame, recent characters, but from DC we get "Blackest Night" before we get the real classics like the Doom Patrol.

Not sure which existing figures would make good conversions. If we're talking the original DP (which would obviously be my preference) I suppose the Silver Surfer could make a good Larry Traynor, minus Negative Man. Mary Marvel would work for Elasi-Girl, but only as normal sized. I wish they'd done the Chief, if only so I could have maybe bought two, and swapped one of the wheelchairs for the clunky thing they put Charles Xavier into!

Nice to have the conversion option JB.  I don't trust myself to even attempt a paint touch up on some figures.  Instead I'll wait for the rest of you to post and just envy them.
