To me Batman Beyond is always first and foremost the cartoon. Which I think is what has led to disappointment for many.

But even beyond that, let's face it - Inque as Batman Beyond is a cheap, lazy way for McFarlane to do (an actually comic accurate) repaint.

99.9% of people probably wanted Inque as Inque herself.

And I'd KILL for a cartoon Blight in that suit!

Most of these figures have unique body sculpts, which raises the unit price of each one made. Given how badly The Drowned Bryce Wayne has sold even when less than $10, you can imagine how much of a financial beating some of these figures took. McF will have to start re-using pieces with increasing regularity to maintain the $20 price point. We've already seen that with Three Jokers Batgirl and Red Hood using the previous figures' legs, Lex Luthor's suits sharing most parts, and the obvious Masked/Unmasked versions. Blight's body could easily be re-painted as Mr. Freeze.

If someone at McF is reading Internet message boards, they're gonna see people asking about Unmasked Terry McGinnis. Wanna bet that's when they make an Unmasked Inque as Batman Beyond?
