I have a suspicion (that Mattel will of course never admit to) that Poison Ivy was going to be in a main retail line. . .DCAS or Batman Legacy, either one. But the subscription numbers were so low that they pulled her from the main line and put her in the sub as extra bait. As best as I remember, when the sub was first announced, we were only promised Starman, Jay Garrick, Atrocitus, and whoever won the poll for the oversize figure. Either near the end of the sign-up time the first time, or after they re-opened the subscription, did we find out Ivy was in the sub.
