I love that Cornboy has seen my little feature and keeps throwing up Likes.

Really? That's awesome!

So dragging on this today.  And Everyone should look up Psy on Facebook and see his version-

Here's Today's Mattel Could Mumble-mumble GJ Mumble Bridge

Jade- Infinitor, JSA Wanna-Be (Should Be!), JLA Junior Member, Outsider, Titan?.  How hard could she be?  Katma Tui body with a, I dunno, Jennie had long and short hair so... Black Canary head with the face and hair painted green.  Pluck off the ring hand and replace with a Cheetah open hand.  Paint and we're done.  This isn't rocket science folks.

Sorry Hyp, but DCD have already done a far superior Jade.
Until Mattel actually spring to fix that crappy female buck, they'll never win in my eyes (unless DCD totally a figure fuck up, which I'll give you is always a possibility).

So on that note, here's my pick.



So easy, that I'm not even going to bother listing parts.
And as to Thunderbolt?

If they can do Tin as a pack in, there's no excuse anymore.

First of all John If you will please be so kind I'd appreciate it IF you would transfer those Mojo points you gave me over to Hype.  Not just for speaking out in my defense on page 4, but also for the conversation we had on Facebook that made me come back here after I decided to take a hautus after my last post in this thread.  Ironically my "disagreement" with him was NOT what rubbed my fur the wrong way, especially now that I understand where he was coming from with his character selection.  Over the years I've had MUCH nastier actual arguments without being accused of being petty or blowing someone a ration of shit the way I was by people who weren't even directly involved in the one I had with him.  What did and still does upset me is that for years I've had to read posts by the Freakshow on the DC boards, the Fwoosh tards and the Matty Morons about how the members of this board are a bunch of elitist comic book snobs.  Up until now I've always just blown them off and been rather proud of my membership here because in any ways this board is the "Geek Elite".  Maybe somewhere else on the internet there's a tight nit group of people who collectively know as much about comics as this one, but I've never encountered them.
For example:  I have no doubt that John could tell me anything I ever wanted to know about mort-o-rific Bat villians,  the lovely and talented SCB can make a custom figure of Morty the Mort Mort Horse from the Super Melon or whatever it's called that actually makes me want a figure of him.  Scot Eric could easily give me chapter and verse on why a Gentleman Ghost figures needed to be made.  Rod's custom figure of Black Orchid sold me on wanting a figure of her. Gard could tell me anything I wanted to know about Kamandi or the Atomic Knight.  I wouldn't be surprised IF SD could tell me all the names of the members of the Ghost Patrol without having to look them up.  Despite how much I tease him about it occasionally I'm sure J.Q. could write at least a passionate paragraph on why I should care about G'Nort.  I could go on and on, but my point is that collectively the members on this board know their shit.  So when I asked why I should give a fuck or care about a character like Agent Liberty that I barely recall from some Superman covers in the 90"s the last thing I expected was to be accused of acting "petty" like some of the posters on those other boards I mentioned. You can cue CJ's  patented "bruising your fragile fucking ego" response, but that really hurt MUCH more than a minor "disagreement" over criteria for character selection.  I'd really like to believe it wasn't deliberate, but to fall back on a couple tired cliche's "Hearts don't think they feel" and "it is, what it is".  
Anyway moving past that "incident" Hype mentioned the possibility on Facebook of a couple of us doing a weekly article spotlighting characters alphabetically that Mattel could make for whatever reason and was wondering if anyone else might be interested in contributing to it?  

[Hyperion]

Glad to have you back Psy and I appreciate the Mojo request, but I want you to keep them for the post you just made.

Now then-

Today's Low Hanging Fruit (Still Following Existing Teams in Honor of Psy) That Mattel Could Easily Make-

Kreon- Green Lantern General, Forgotten Lantern, Black Lantern (uggh)- Keon is really easy because he's really not that hard.  Take the Hal Jordan body, paint the right glove gold (leave the ring green).  Add the head from Red Arrow.  Repaint said head and we're good to go.

[John Moores]

Yeah, Psy keeps the points, and Hype gets some too.

[Hyperion]

Let the Mudslinging Commence!

Today's Low Hanging Fruit That Mattel Could Do With Existing Parts and Minimal Work

Lady Clayface (Sondra Fuller (fuller earth! ahaaa... yeah...))- Lady Clay is part of the MudPack, a minion of Kobra AND a Bat-villain, so IMO, she's got cred, three entry points is both a villain and a girl, which the line desperately needs more of. This would be half-stepping for them, but she could easily be done by yanking off MA Cheetah's tail and painting her several waves of brown and grey.  You don't even need to go all out with the rubbery Clayface skin.  Feeling like you're getting away too easy?  They cast the Katma Tui sword in brown and give Sandra a fist to morph into the spike.

three entry points

Tee hee!

Tee hee!

 

[Hyperion]

moving along...


Mattel Could Sell This Figure If They Used Existing Parts To Make-

Miss Martian- member of the Teen Titans, 'niece' of J'onn Jonzz the Martian Manhunter, most requested member of the TV series Young Justice team, another girl-  Mary Marvel's head and body from the waist down matched onto Katma Tui's upper body and Stargirl's hands.  Swap out Mary's hair for Karu-Sil's, add Dr Fate's cape and paint.   Hello M'gan!

I wouldn't mind a Miss Martian but I'm certain we'll get one in the Young Justice line and I think that'll be good enough for me, especially since I have more of a connection to her from that show than from comics.

Only problem is since they haven't made her yet, she'll be wearing what she's wearing in season 2 which is a lot different than the pre-nU look.

[Hyperion]

For today

Mattel Could Make This Figure From Existing Parts and Minimal Tooling-

Nemesis- Batman Ally, Suicide Squad Member, Super Spy- Plain Hal Jordan buck once again, adding the long-haired Aquaman head and an open right hand.  He'll need a slight addition of a shoulder holster and harness, but besides paint, he's already there.
