Personally, I am missing Hawkgirl. I saw her once at Target, I think the same day I got GG, but the paint on her face was so bad that I decided to skip her. Never saw her again. At least she's got a good shot at being re-released at retail as an All-Star.

@Diego Zubrycky

Good point. He looks a bit sloppy because of his size, but its another little bonus, and would be cool to have for a group display.

What's this Atom based conspiracy anyway? Both of the key DCUC pieces I've missed contain him. GG and Walmart Atom are probably the priciest DCUC figures.

Hey! back in Marvel Legends, Goliath was a rare chase, Ant Man was a rare Walmart exclusive used to build the difficult to complete Goliath!

Toy companies don't care about little people.

It would be so cool to have Gentleman Ghost re-released. I was lucky enough to find one recently in a shop here in my country and he's truly a great figure, IMO.

I hope everyone can get one someday.

Speaking about GG, don't forget the mini Atom… He's cool too.

The crazy thing is, last I checked, a carded GG was going for a price comparable to the underproduced Chemo panic wave. GG's own mixed color plastic proto sold for less than the retail fig.

I'd say an additional frustration is that most people want him to open. Loose GGs are never sold with the Giganta parts.

I'm about to bite the bullet, buy him and cast that head! And her butt. And sell at cost of materials. But that is frowned upon.

Yeah, it would be a shame to make folks buy an entire wave 8 when the vast majority only need GG. I consider myself lucky to have pre-ordered the set on-line. I know I saw GG once or twice at retail, and the rest of the wave seemed easy to find. This led me to take my chances by not pre-ordering wave 9. Now I'm in a similar boat, hoping to find a Black Adam without spending an arm and a leg.

It would be nice if Mattel would make some of the harder-to-find singles available again, but I doubt they'll do it.

@AmericanHyena

Yes…yes you should. I waited several months before checking online, every other figure or wave I missed managed to pop up again, aside from a couple WalMart guys.

I was floored by the $100+ he's going for. Needless to say, I went ahead and ordered Joker from ebay the other day.

I do hope they do something besides selling entire waves next time. I only need at Atom, but I know many people missed Metallo entirely. It seems senseless to have to buy a full set of doubles to complete Giganta, when the other figures are probably cheaper on ebay.

@Poe
Yeah, with a line that's planned through to 2016, there's certainly got to be quite a few notes at the very least. I'm more curious about how they plan to handle some of the more oddball Snake Men and Horde characters. Will they be deluxe quarterly figures? Most importantly, will Man E Faces have snap on disguises?(ugh…hope not)
