That kinda sucks, but maybe they'll be testing the waters with some Arrow merch. Then, if that stuff sells well enough for them to consider doing the same for other DC shows (which it won't, cause it's Mattel), they might do some other stuff... maybe.

Gotham was probably talked about the most, if I recall, but I can't imagine there being much toyline potential there. Too much of a focus on "realism" in a pre-costumed vigilante world.

Assuming they don't do dedicated lines for the different shows, and instead wrap everything up into Multiverse, they should at least make a Gordon figure. Though other than that and maybe detective themed role-play toys, there's not much for them to do.

Ummm... maybe. It's probably going to be a while till I really buy anything more. I just wanted to start gathering data and ideas for the time being. I also might end-up limiting myself to just a handfull of figures. Keep things simple.

I didn't know they were a part of DC. Makes their original DCD name make sense. The not interfearing with licensing agreements explains why they don't do some of the stuff I'd love to see from them. Like movie figures or a regular line of 3-3/4" figures.

As for more Multiverse figures, I'm all for it and I also hope Mattel announces the continuation of the line beyond what we already know.

Back when they first announced the line, they mentioned that they had hree waves/sets in the works for the first year of the line. Each containing six figures to them. The themes of the first two were announced then (games and movies), but the third was left a secret. As far as I know nothing else has been announced for the line. Well, other than the SDCC Arkham Knight Batmobile that is.

I'd love to see the line continue on for a good while, but I'll be surprised if these movie figures aren't the last of it that we see. We'll either get some great news at SDCC, or they won't mention it at all, silently confirming our fears.
