This is how rumors work around here. Characters fans want don't show up? It's DC being all grabby and restricting what WK can do. Characters fans want do show up? WK gets the credit. No amount of cool, not-currently-active characters showing up will ever defuse the "DC restricts WK's decisions" rumors, because there will always, always, always be more characters that people want but haven't gotten, that they can accuse big, bad DC of blocking.
I'm not calling you out specifically for anything Daedalus, it just irks me that people keep spreading the "DC restricts figures" rumor without a shred of support.
Okay, carry on with the thread.
Other than it's entirely accurate when it comes to any other kinds of merchandise that is made of DC Comics Characters. And that's from the mouth of people who deal with them constantly while producing DC Comics merchandise. They restrict characters, costume choices, and push Superman and Batman above and beyond all of their other characters.

Wow, I know I've seen pics of the mole monster before, but I guess I didn't fully grasp how HUGE he really is.
The GSX superboosters had me convinced I wouldn't buy these as "blind" boosters again- but this set is amazingly larger and is making me more excited to buy multiple handfulls of blind boosters. (multiple handfuls equals at least 4 boosters)
I dont know I just know Seth let this out after the company went under and he was not worried about pissing off Dc. I just know everytime he brought up KM (and PK) he was shot down....So Not a Killer Moth is banned but still a very controlling hand that limited who they can do....Wheres as with Marvel he never claimed to have those restrictions
Seth talked about proposing Paul Kirk throughout his time as designer, not just after he left WK. But he also shared that Morbius was nixed by Marvel for Monsters and Mutations. Yes, he was made the following year, but the expectations by players was he'd show up in that set.
In any case, we have just a handful of examples for both companies. Why assume there weren't more scratches on the Marvel end? I don't think we've had anyone in the NECA era share those types of tidbits, so we'd be using 3-4 year old info for speculation on how the companies work.
And are we seriously talking about how restrictive DC is after they gave the green light to Tenzil Kem?
World breaker hulk made my year. Now the question is, how are they going to package these collossals so that people don't just grab the heavy ones? There is no way the watcher and the mole monster weigh the same
Wow, why is the Mole Monster not on a 3x6 base? He's huge!
Dormammu and Watcher better come with something else for 40 bucks a pop .
No, Mole monster is on a 2x2. As you said, Dormammu and Uatu are going to seem like a COLOSSAL rip off (Pun somewhat intended) if you pull one in a booster and that's all you get. Mole Monster is only on a 2x2 base, but at least he's HUMONGOUS. I suppose we will get fed some kind of tripe about the cost of the other colossals is being kept down by the smaller ones of the set, but imagine if your case consisted of only the tiny ones....

man that loki looks awesome, hope he's as good as he looks
also for me dormammu is one I'd actually like to get but if I get an uatu or mole monster I'll go crazy with rage
That 10th Anniversary Superman is one of the most dope sculpts I've ever seen in the game. It totally captures the spirit of the character, especially early Supes. I instantly thought of the 1940s cartoon when I saw it and was immediately pleased. With luck, he'll be the no nonsense not-overpowered Supes from the early days like those cartoons. Those Fleischer cartoons are what made me love Superman as a kid and I found myself a little disappointed when I picked up the comics and he was electric blue and junk.
Unfortunately, not a whole lot that did it for me here. That's okay. I don't have a whole lot of discretionary funds as is. What I am hoping for though is a modern age Nightwing (though hard to beat the Crisis version) and a good Damian Robin.
Mostly:
In CW I would love to see a New Avengers overhaul. We already have a good Luke Cage and Squirrel Girl, now we just need the rest of the gang including Daredevil. I know we just got 3 of them, but much like the rest of the Hulk set were...well...they sucked. Who ever heard of Daredevil with only with no stealth (he IS a ninja) 2 clicks of leap and climb, 17 defense, and no incapacitate? Even with the new MK ATA, he still doesn't play like Daredevil.
Also need, Ms. Marvel, Jessica Jones, Mockingbird (with the Super Soldier Serum) and others. Hopefully the Chaos War set won't let me down.
UUGGGHHH! Why did you have to suck so much Hulk set? Why?
Dormammu and Uatu are packed together. This was said at one of the presentations, but not at all of them.
So when Muncho said they would be packed with something to off-set the weight, he was being funny. The 'thing' they are packed with is each other. There are only 5 Super Booster variations.
Also, Wildcats is a fully realized subset, for those still debating about Grifter's comrades. Of course, I have no idea how many figures that will entail. They were coy when we asked.
The Inhuman of Team Vegas,
Black Bolt of the Vegas Illuminati
LOL at Dormammu and Uatu being packaged together. That would be a sick 300 pt team for sealed. So far only Master Mold would screw you if you wanted to do a sealed super booster option. He goes from 200 pts to 600 pts.
