Starro would obviously be way underscaled, but I think it could still be impressive even standing at 10-12" tall. I wonder if Rick Flagg would come with a sword too instead of guns.

I feel like if we get Starro it'd be better to just go straight to a deluxe megafig, like the Snyder Cut Darkseid and Steppenwolf, rather than make a potentially smaller one to be divided among a wave. Even getting another full 4 figure wave seems like a little bit of a stretch. I'm just doubting there's a big demand for Thinker out there. I'm also not sure if Rick has enough popularity to get a figure. He's the plain army guy (or guy in a T-shirt later) surrounded by the more interesting looking costumed characters. Supposing though that we do get a Rick Flag he obviously won't have any guns unless that policy is thrown out fast, but I don't really know then what they'd decide to throw in since a sword doesn't fit the character. Peacemaker and Bloodsport did use swords in the movie but the only non-gun weapon I remember Rick using was a broken off piece of pipe so we'd get a figure of Joel Kinnaman in a T-shirt with a pipe, not the coolest sounding toy but hey maybe it would sell. I definitely want a Ratcatcher though, and with the rest of the main team already covered in the build-a wave she could be a regular assortment figure (with a Sebastian accessory).

I wonder if technically McFarlane themselves could sell us an accessory pack through their new online store. Like the guns they would have included with these DC figures but just now sold as an online item and no longer under the DC brand since it's just an assortment of weapons which happen to be compatible with their figures.
