YES ! I absolutely agree !
I actually got into a long-running argument with a guy at another forum (I wasn't an Arker yet, at that time) about how I thought Mattel needed a Superman Legacy/Unlimited/Classics line to accompany the Man of Steel Movie Masters.

Summarily, he argued that all the important Superman villains had already been released, and that they didn't warrant re-releases, repaints, or even new versions. He also felt that if Mattel followed the Batman Legacy approach and released figures like First Appearance, Silver Age, Elseworlds, etc. versions of Superman, they wouldn't sell well.

I somewhat agreed with the latter, but I pointed out that we still needed Zod, Ursa/Faora/Zaora (whatever), and Non.
I also thought that Livewire, Prankster (maybe using the body of DCUC Wave 10 Joker), and a smaller, non-BAF, modern Metallo would have fit well into the line.
A better Doomsday was on my list as well, but that's one wish that actually came true (well, almost, lol).
Also, since so many missed him initially, a newly sculpted Steel (or even a repaint of him) would have been nice.

Looking back now, I think that that hypothetical line would have been a MUCH better way for Mattel to give us Mxyzpltk. Instead of having to pay $30 for him (

), he coulda come packaged with another figure, like how Bat-Mite came with Batman Legacy's Silver Age Batman.

But whatever, I probably shouldn't be focusing so strongly on what might have been
