It's highly unlikely that we'll get as many female and villain figures as I really want, but here goes... Granny Goodness Vixen Dawnstar Dream Girl Shadow Lass Felix Faust Dr. Light (original male Dr) Dr. Polaris Elasti-Girl Ragdoll I'm sure there are more...but that would be a great start!

I am excited about Platinum and Tin! Almost a complete Metal Men set! Just missing Lead. I'm a bit confused by Poison Ivy and Black Mask...they seem like they should be in the Batman Legacy line-up...my guess is there will be repaints of them in that line eventually. I'll stick with my DCDirect Black Mask for display purposes for now, thanks. The inclusion of Starboy/man is good news for us Legion fans. Maybe some Legion ladies eventually? Dawnstar? Shadow Lass? Dream Girl?

Other than the combo red/green Hulk have any other exclusives been announced for NYCC 2011?

I can't wait! I do hope that somewhere down the line we see some female Legionnaires (Dawnstar, Shadow Lass, Phantom Girl, and Dream Girl first please!)

DC announced at NYCC that they were cutting all books back to 32 pages and that they would make all (regular) books 2.99. This means no more back up stories, but all books would be "fairly" priced. Marvel announced the same deal the next day. Annuals and specials and deluxe books would naturally be higher priced, but most monthlies will remain at 2.99 for the foreseeable future.

I have to say, I wish it weren't CGI

I wish they would re-sculpt the female body. It's so ugly. The men are great, but the women have a uni-boob that is up in their throats. It's not attractive. And the face sculpt/paint apps on the women's faces is not always great either. Wonder Woman was atrocious and Poison Ivy wasn't very pretty either. Zatanna was nice, though!

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.

Be aware that they do fill orders in the order they are received...so if they sell out of a wave and have to wait for a second shipment, you may be waiting longer than if you ordered them the day the pre-order was available.

will this effect the Mattel Chris Reeve Superman figure?

I asked for the head of the toy dept. and asked about the GL set and wave 14. All he would say was that they would be doing a major overhaul of the toy section "soon." When I asked how soon, he said "In August." I asked "around the 15th?" and he said he couldn't say. Jerk. He knows! and worse, he knows I know he knows!!! JUST TELL ME! I'm in a wheelchair for goodness sake! It's not easy for me to get to WM, let alone, once I get there, get all the way to back of the cavernous store to get to the toy section. Any WM employees willing to anonymously tip the rest of us off?

We were supposed to get the Batman Reborn set on 7/14. To the best of my knowledge that set has NOT made it to shelves yet. Am I right? I also notice, it's WAAAAAAYYY past time this thread got updated again. Maybe I'll take it upon myself to do that tomorrow...

I sincerely DO hope that Brightest Day last beyond the first 2 waves... Osiris Hawk Dove Aqualad Professor Zoom Capt. Boomerang Maxwell Lord Cheshire AND JADE!!! HOw could I forget Jade??? It's a shame they put all the "A-listers" in the first 2 waves...slows down the potential of continuing the line. And I still say that Deadman needs a trechcoat and an interchangeable head.

I'm loving the new costumes on Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Firestorm. I wish Deadman came with interchangeable heads. The one I'm most excited about it Mera! It's about time! Geoff Johns has made her cool again and has an interesting story set up for her (that last pasge of the mnost recent issue had my jaw on the ground!) I'm hoping the line is successful so we can see Hawk and Dove and the new Aqualad as well as Antimonitor? Capt. Boomerang? Prof Zoom? Maxwell Lord? There are a bunch of characters that could fit into this as the story progresses.
