They may release a few new images or figures after their panel, if there is a Mattel DC panel... the preliminary schedule didn't list one.

[Ravenxl7]

The n52 Wonder Woman is kind of tempting, but I'm going to wait to see her in-person to decide. That is, assuming stores around here decide the line is worth stocking. I wouldn't really blame them if they chose not to.

Hopefully the show off the third wave/set of figures in the line. I'm REALLY hoping for a Green Arrow (either n52 or Injustice). I never did see that one released in the last wave of the DCUC line...

[Dr Kain]

Okay, I want that DKR Batman even if he isn't in the costume with the yellow insignia. That looks pretty cool.

Why does N52 Flash have lightning stuck to his back? I guess it doesn't matter, I'm really losing interest in the N52 stuff every day. That Penguin is pretty nice, but why is the bottom of his shirt yellow? It completely ruins the entire figure.

That'll be later this weekend. Unlike Hasbro, Mattel is actually holding events during the Con.

[avcprime]

really disappointed in Mattel, not because of not showing new stuff, but they have become lazy with this line. The toys look cheap and redundant. I may just get the new52 batman just cus I like batman.

[Dr Kain]

Please tell me the Red Hood and Capt Marvel Jr are NOT sub figures!!!!! I do NOT want those!!! I want Huntress, Ras'al Ghul, Talia, Vandal Savage, Scarface and Wesker, Vixen. I did not sub up for those pieces of crap! And where the hell did that version of Red Hood come from? Joker never wore that, nor did Jason.

Glad I passed on the Watchmen sub, because Silk Spectre looks awful. Is The Four Horsemen not sculpting them?

First of all, calm down there. Secondly, I'm sorry you thought that the subscription was going to be mostly Batman characters. It isn't. It encompasses every corner of the DCU.

Third, Captain Marvel Jr. has been highly demanded by fans for years.

Fourth, yes Jason Todd did wear that costume as the Red Hood.

And lastly, I think Silk Spectre looks perfect.

No, I just used those characters as examples, otherwise I would have a list going down the page.

Jason Todd wore that costume apparently in some of the worst Batman comics ever, so it matters not. Why would they choose that crap over his iconic look?

Nevertheless, we now have 7 sub reveals and NO FEMALES!! That means the remaining five better be Ice, Fire, Vixen, Huntress, and Talia.

And who the hell was requested Capt Marvel Jr? Next they'll be giving us Grandpa Marvel.

I might be going blind. Where's Waldo (Silk Spectre) again?

[freakout117]

Is that Huntress?

Yeah, that's Huntress. Awesome.

Yes they chose VERY POORLY on Red Hood having that design. I am happy for Cap Jr. as he completes the Marvel family. I am hopeful that they will still do MENTO to finish Doom Patroll and Really wanting a 90"s era Fire and Ice (and even a Bloodwynd and a Max Lord) to finish the 90's JLI or Formaly Known as the Justice League group. Huntress just adds to the Bat family, but should be put in the new Batman Unlimited line, as well as ANY Bat character they make.

Mattel has said time and time again that a character like Huntress isn't suited for retail. They seem to think that for the general public, she's not well known. They said that if they make her, she would be in the sub. Whether or not it's true that she wouldn't do well at retail is beside the point. They seem to think it is, so it's no surprise to see her in the sub.

I prefer it this way anyway. Now I'm guaranteed to own that figure, instead of having to hunt her down at retail.

No way that cobra commander bull crap is red hood. I call mulligan

I am cool with Huntress being part of the sub program, I would like them to make an Oricle, but with Babs walking again as Batgirl, that will not happen. I just don't want the sub line to get bat characters when they have a Bat line seperatly. And weather they think Huntress would not sell at retail has no bering on a damn thing, they put CATMAN in a mass retail line and he sat there. I will bet 3 out of 5 people who have heard of Huntress have no idea who Catman is.

[Cavbeast]

Love that they are finally giving us a Huntress figure, however, knowing that version of Red Hood will be on my porch step instead of the superior New 52 Red Hood version is an injustice. I'll just have to have him go play with my Fighting Foe Men and Fang Man in some dark corner of my house I could care less about.

QFT!

Besides that, Huntress has had multiple media exposure by now. She was a fairly major reaccuring character in JLU, she was a main character in Birds of Prey (Whether you liked the show or not, it still counts), and she's had a few appearances in BatB.
She's gotten around. And as awesome as Catman is, he... not so much. She's gotten multiple toys in the past, not only from Kenner, but also MATTEL, who says she's too obscure... and thinks Catman, or Cheetah arent.
I'd think it comes down to her skimpy costume... but they put out a version of cheetah WHO'S NAKED. Plus, once again, Mattel's already put out toys of her.

Not to say I think she's well known... I don't. But I agree that she's not nearly as obscure as some of the characters they've done. Of the surrounding batfamily, she's probably just under Nightwing in terms of how recognizable she is.
(FTW, I think recognizability probably goes in this order: Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress, Oracle. Well above others like Batwoman, Question, Spoiler, Ragman, Nightcreeper, Red Hood, Red Robin)

Not that I have an issue with her being subscription. I'm to the point where I think I almost prefer the subscription than retail.

[CMIII]

Dr. Kain... I am highly insulted by calling Captain Jr "A peice of Crap" Captain Jr has been around a hell of a lot Longer in the comic book world then Half of the Characters that had multiple releases like we needed 4 Batmen, 3 Supermen, 4 Aquamen, 7 Hal Jordans, 3 Sinestro's. I have a suggestion if you Don't want those Sub Figures then IDK sell them...

The Red Hood they have shown is a New 52 version and is actually Bruce Wayne in Red Hood Costume in Batman #0 he desguises himself as a member of the gang before becoming batman officially

Want Ra's go get the Movie Masters version....

Great minds...

Even though Red Hood is a total miss, it is nice to see Matty come through with what is essentially a "Top 3" of the current most-wanted characters for the next few slots in the 2013 sub.

The crossbow they showed for Huntress is pretty sweet. That version of Red Hood needs metallic red guns to match the helmet.
