but the thing is, Green Lantern toys sucked, and the Infinite Heroes line failed to do all of that.

I mean, the first set was Black Adam, Hush, Black Hand, a Manhunter Robot, Adam Strange, Captain Shazam Marvel, Guy Gardner, and a Qwardian Weaponer. What kid knows these characters? I know I didnt know them untill I was around 10 years old and started reading DC. and even then, I tossed them aside cause I wanted Batman and Superman. not to mention I never saw any of them on the super powers or super friends.

so yeah, they fudged it. big time. next time Mattel tries a 3 3/4 dc line, first wave needs to have a combination top names and semi top names. Should be Batman, Superman, Joker, Parasite, Captain Shazam Marvel, and John Stewart.

Theres a good mix of well known with Supes Bats and Joker, then you get Parasite and Captain Marvel and John Stewart, and if your a kid and havent seen justice league since CN refuses to bring it back on TV, you would know half of those characters. beef it up with a Black Adam and Bizarro varient to Supes and Shazam and you got a good starting wave.

You have a point, that wave was clearly intended for adult collectors, not kids looking for toys.
