I do remember that my civilian/secret identities wave question got answered by Matty a few months back and basically the answer was it's something they've been looking into for a long time. O.K. so when is it happening? They have a scuplt for Clark Kent from DCSH and they have a head sculpt for Bruce Wayne. How difficult can it be to retool a Joker into an Alfred?

"Looking into it" and even "wanting to do it" are no guarantees that Matty can produce a product. They still have the retailers to consider.

Personally, I think they should do an entire wave of "civilian IDs/Supporting characters" as a Mattycollector.com exclusive (probably the best way to do it short of sprinkling them into waves one at a time):

Clark Kent
Bruce Wayne
Alfred Pennyworth
Jim Gordon (Comic Version)
Lois Lane
Lex Luthor (Business Suit)

Instead of a Build-A-Figure, give them the pieces to build either a big Bat-Signal or a Daily Planet Globe.

Or if they want to get REALLY ambitious split it into two waves:

Bruce Wayne
Alfred Pennyworth
Barbara Gordon/Oracle
Jim Gordon (Comic)
Selina Kyle
Dick Grayson
w/ Build-a-Batsignal

Clark Kent
Lois Lane
Lex Luthor (Business Suit)
Jimmy Olsen
Perry White
Mercy Graves
w/ "Build a Globe"

Probably a total pipe dream, but I think it'd be cool.
