Man, you'd think we'd get more figures of the Bat-Rogues (male and female alike) in some more comic-based designs (probably the reason I'm getting that Infinite Frontier/Fear State Scarecrow) rather than getting variations of Batman that nobody asked for...instead of presumably the ones fans do want. I dunno, I guess I had some tunnel vision in thinking "Oh, Todd's a Batman fan, so he'll probably make a bunch of each of the heroes and villains", but instead he just literally puts a handful of Batman variants in each wave. But I guess that's just how it is for McFarlane.

Going off of his two interviews with ShartimusPrime, much as it has been repeated in this thread, Todd lives and breathes by "rule of cool", but that's a double-edged sword. Sure, there are some figures that Todd makes that fans legitimately want (his new Bane is one of the best examples, top marks across the board) that are appealing to the eye, but then there's just the utter army of Batman variants that could've easily been replaced by a Bat-Rogue (a classic Poison Ivy, a classic or New 52 Harley, a classic black-suited Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Ra's al Ghul, Lady Shiva, Arkham female Copperhead, Black Mask, Deadshot, Anarky, just ANYBODY) or another member of the Bat-Family (Kate Kane, Cassandra Cain, Spoiler, or even Batwing...but Terry's a good exception though). It wouldn't necessarily be a repeat of what Mattel with DCUC did because it'd be in a new scale, not to mention altered articulation and Todd's own design mindset.

I give kudos to Todd for sticking to what he knows works. The question now, though, is how long it'll be until he decides to loosen up and start making the character figures (female or otherwise) his fans have been asking for. I remember ShartimusPrime reaffirming that Todd and the crew are "listening and trying to be better", so hopefully that includes better figure variation (seriously, Shart's shelf looks like it's about 75% Batmen, so hopefully it happens soon).

And here I was pondering if I should get that Play Arts Kai Arkham Ivy, holy cow that looks good...wonder how much it'd be, though. When's Mafex releasing it?
