POLL: Missing from TAS/TNBA

[Batdan]

I was inspired by the FIGURES WE WANTED BUT NEVER GOT thread to do this poll:

Which figures from TAS/TNBA would you most want?



For me, it's Tim Drake. A close second would be Barbara, then mulleted Dick to match the Nightwing fig, though I can't really stand the mullet.

[JokerInc]

I voted for Bullock. We always need more of GCPD

[Batdan]

Yeah, I thought about putting Montoya on the list too.


I always thought a set of cops and thugs would be a fun set though I know it would never sell.

[Drew]

[shadow=teal,left,300]I voted other

We really need a TNBA Scarecrow! [/shadow]

[Batdan]

Y'know, that's true. The TAS Scarecrow fig is a bit on the lame side.

[PJ]

Well, I've want a TNBA Killer Croc.

i voted for Bullock. always wanted a figure of him. there are so many that should have been done from TNBA. i especially wanted the newer version of Bane.

I agree. To me, those designs are almost uniformly better than TAS. But I'm glad I at least have, say, a Scarecrow, rather than none at all.

I'm just disappointed they never gave us Tim, especially, or Barbara. At least we have Bruce and Dick.

[JokerFC]

I voted other as I want a Clock King and TNBA Bane and Scarecrow.I like the TNBA designs too-Freeze&Riddler are also excellent but the TNBA Alfred,Gordon and Joker just plain suck

interesting. how so?

[J-Man]

[shadow=purple,left,300]Personally, I liked the Alfred figure from TNBA. The only thing that could have changed was maybe a better paint job. They could have also made it so he could carry his little lobster tray. The Joker was good, too, but his neck came loose really quick. I recently pulled it from his body and superglued it in place.

On topic, I would have loved a Bullock figure. I'm always puzzled why characters who had a ton of screen time in the series got screwed over for figures of lesser-known/ seen characters like the Creeper or TNBA Penguin.

I'd also like a TNBA Bane (that really has been my favorite Bane design ever), an accurately sculpted Croc (I hate the 4-pack attempts at TNBA characters- just bland repaints of BTAS figures ) and definitely a Scarecrow.[/shadow]

I agree with you, philosophically speaking. Making the Creeper made no sense. Neither did the Ventriloquist or Mad Hatter in my opinion.

TNBA Penguin, however, I loved. To me, it's the all-time best Penguin figure, of any line.

But yeah, a strong case can be made for Bullock. My take is that if you include supporting heroes in the line, you owe it to the fans to provide secret identity figs. So I'd want Tim and Babs first and foremost. But Bullock makes a lot of sense.

they sucked the character out of the Joker for one with that look alone.he was perfect in TAS-- TNBAs look was awful-Blue Skin?no eyes?no lips?nah all wrong.

as for Gordon and Alfred-the TNBA look took them from the healthy look they had in TAS to an eviscerated appearance.both looked like they should have been in an OAPs home ESPECIALLY Gordon.I couldnt believe that when I first seen TNBA.(I still got the Gordon figure though ;D)

thank god they fixed Alfred and improved Joker for JLU and thats just my 2 cents.

and I liked the Alfred figure too because it was more like his appearance in TAS then TNBA.

also Batdan I exalt you for asking me why

Thanks, JokerFC. I really love hearing other people's opinions about stuff like this. It's why I joined the boards.

Anyway, I'm with you on the Joker's skin tone. I never got that. Still and all, I wasn't troubled by the redesign.

Yeah, the Creeper had only a little screen time in the grand scheme of TAS/TNBA, but if you think about it, how cool is it that we got a CREEPER figure?!? Maybe I'm just old, but The Creeper has always been one of my fav characters. I remember reading The Creeper, Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, etc at a young age - about the same time that I started reading Batman, Superman and the rest. So for an old time collector, I never thought I'd see a Creeper figure. Getting one was a nice little grail.

[BullocK]

[shadow=red,left,300]What do you think? [/shadow]

[JokerFC]

I agree-I got quite excited myself about the Creeper and was delighted to have him too.I do agree there were more deserving characters out there though

[Batdan]

I can understand the Creeper thing on "how cool is that?" grounds. I mean, as far as JLU goes, I kinda dig the idea of Hawk and Dove, Metamorpho and Wildcat.

But in the bigger picture, my preference would have been to have more Batcore figs first.

[hardrockbatman00]

I satisfied my Bullock urges by taking an old McFarlane Sam and Twitch and used Sam as my Bullock

thats a good idea chief-did it turn up good for you?

[wayneson]

I did the same thing - just added some five o'clock shadow and a hat. Hell, he already has the donut!

[jasontodd2]

Harvey Bullock

[Victor Freeze]

mattel should bring the line back with those characters or something, but i went with other, i wanted Ubu ras al ghuls body guard, and the gray ghost

[Robin]

Definatley Bullock.

[DrGreenEvil]

I just watched the Gray Ghost ep, and do believe a Gray Ghost figure would have been cool.

DrGreenEvil

[The Demons Head]

Definetly Bullock...For me, Harvey Costanza (the actor who portrayed him) was/ is one of the few characters that I can, right now, vividly recall in my head...His voice really lent itself to the character he played, and I believe that it was a cooler character because of him...

[DrGreenEvil]

Just watched some Batman Beyond.
I think they should have came out with figures for the villians that were from the 60's show that were updated for Batman Beyond.
Like Ma Mayhem and False Face.

DrGreenEvil

[Batlaw]

Indeed. Additional villains characters were really neglected outside of the Jokerz.

[RJ]

I would have liked to have seen a Rupert Thorne figure. He was a rather prominent villain in BTAS. It would have been cool to have more secondary villains made like him.

[bskcase]

I had a Dick Grayson with Robin disguise. He was always one of my favorite figures. I always thougth a Tim Drake with new Robin disguise should have been made. It would have fit in very well with the new Bruce Wayne figure.
