Yeah, we need Ragdoll for the Secret Six. After all, he's been on every incarnation of the team, and he's been around in comics for five years now. He may not have as much history as some characters, but he's just as deserving.
Rag Doll debuted in Flash Comics #36, December 1942.
He probably meant the specific one in Secret Six, who's the son of the original, right?
Correct in that the current Ragdoll is the son of the original.

Yes, that was the original (who was given a new lease on life from Neron in exchange for his soul).

if he has only been around for 5 years how could he have been on every incarnation of the team
There were two incarnations of Secret Six before the current one with Scandal and Catman, et al. Neither had Ragdoll of any sort. Both are rather eclipsed and relegated to trivia questions now, with the new group's popularity.

i was just trying to point out that if the "Secret Six" existed before 5 years ago, then Ragdoll has no possibility of being on all incarnations of the team especially if he has only been around for 5 years, but oh well
I'm a DC fan, and while I hate threads that hem and haw about a set before it's released - I can't help but worry a little about the direction of this set. It feels to me like we're getting an abundance of Lanterns - all well and good if you're a fan, but with 75 years of history to fill, I'd hope to see a lot of never been mades, or needed to makes, rather than two or three flavors of Hal Jordan, (a prime candidate for a sculpt repaint, and someone who I feel is overexposed).
I am optimistic this set will deliver some surprises, but honestly hope the set fills some much needed to be filled holes on teams from Golden Age (the Atom) to current times (Ragdoll) while celebrating the ups and downs, ins and outs of 75 years of history.
Still, if it means getting a Vibe figure, I'm happy to put up with 7 versions of Hal "Skittles" Jordan.
Another minor complaint I have (and most likely out of Wizkids control) is the number of "theme sets" DC's had compared to Marvel. Marvel has pushed out more sets overall, but also meatier theme sets - Armor Wars, Hammer of Thor, Secret Invasion.
DC seems to flip flop between one "theme" set, and bringing it back to the basics with the big name marquee characters showcased in bright lights.
Icons gave us the biggest brightest names in DC, and then gave way to Collateral Damage a mush-pot themed set.
CD lead to Origins - celebrating the big names first appearances.
OR leads to Justice League - more big name players.
JL folds into Crisis - the only set I feel is an actual DC "theme" set.
Crisis gave us Batman Alpha - top name reprinted sculpts.
From there, we go to Arkham, a theme set of sorts, but it's no "Knightfall" or No Man's Land, and then it's into the Brave and the bold - featuring the biggest brightest names in DC... just in time for the 75th anniversary set featuring the biggest brightest names in DC!

For an anniversary set, it feels more like a "LET'S CAPITALIZE ON OUR BIG EVENT RATHER THAN CELEBRATE OUR HISTORY" set.
I could give 2 figs for White Lanterns.
So far the only confirmed piece that interests me is the Crimson Avenger.
I want these clixed: Doc Savage, Fu Manchu, Tarzan, The Shadow, The Green Hornet & Kato, Conan, Solomon Kane, The Phantom, King Kong, Universal Monsters, Black Orchid, Manhunter (Paul Kirk), Xemnu the Titan, unclixed Kirby Fourth World characters, and Lilith, Daughter Of Dracula.

Well said - I took about a few thousand words more than necessary in another thread.
BTW - I hope you get Killer Moth.
