Maybe we'll see that come to pass. Time will tell.

Again though, all else being equal, a relatively unknown male character likely has a better shot at selling than a relatively unknown female character (also, Booster Gold and Captain Atom, at least, were like 90% reused parts; I think only Firestorm had entirely unique tooling of those four).

And Guy Gardner et al. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold need the rest of their buddies to hang out with.

The cape that come with the Batmobile version of 1989 Batman is actually pretty nice. It drapes way better than the NECA version.

Blue is definitely my preferred version, though I'll certainly try and get both.

I do wonder why the "cape" is so mechanical, though. Did it ever look like that in the comics?

For Batman, I would guess that it'll be the Y2 body, a one of the heads with long ears, and a dark blue and grey deco. Aquaman would probably be the Endless Winter body but with a new head and a bright deco. Flash could be the Blue Beetle TK body (same as Flashpoint Barry which a lot of people missed) with a new head and deco since it's Wally West.

As one of the people who missed the Barry Allan Flash, that would be great. My McFarlane DC collection is pretty much 90s-focused to begin with, so there's a lot to look forward to here.
