    Amanda Waller? They're making a toy of the Wall herself? Awesome!

    Ugh. How can you be excited for this?? Amanda Waller is one of the most horrible DC characters ever...

    I'm so excited by this, she was integral to the show, there for integral to my JLU collection

    She really lacks any action figure appeal at all. She's a necessary character on the show, but... as a toy?

    She'll only be Amanda "Shelf Warmer" Waller. Guaranteed.

    Except they'll package her with a Superman and Batman figure so some kid will be like "Yes! Supes and Bats! But who the heck is this fat chick??"

    Yeah in Heroclix she got a bystander token(a pog with a one click dial for those that don't know) and in the final set from Wizkids she got her own figure. It was pathetic, and it took a slot away that could've been for my Thom Kallor Starman.

    I personally don't care for her in any form, comic, cartoon, etc but this figure may surprise everyone and be the one everyone wants if for just the reason of having it. I've seen some sillier things sell than Waller. I can't even find the JLU figures in stores anymore so I don't need to worry.


    Hey, Scarecrow, maybe sometime you can explain Starman to me. Been trying to figure him out since he showed up in the new JSA issues.

    I'm thinking few will get her initially and later on she'll become a rare and prized figure because she'll be the lynch pin in a comic story arc of epic proportions that will redefine the DCU, rivaling any Crisis plot.

    Hey, Scarecrow, maybe sometime you can explain Starman to me. Been trying to figure him out since he showed up in the new JSA issues.
    Thom Kallor was Starboy from the Legion of Superheroes, until something(I can't remember what) sent him into the Kingdom Come universe. He fought alongside Superman blah blah blah he just sat around and looked amazing.

    I don't know how far you read so there aren't *major* spoilers, but I'll explain him a little more in the following.

    When he returned to Earth 1 he joined up with the JSA. He's schizophrenic and only in the future where he was a Legion member can he be treated for it, so he is just kind of wacky. Recently I believe he cured himself of his mental issues and it turned out he was making it all up in his head because of some master plan I don't think has been revealed yet. He's a really loveable character and his suit is just awesome looking.

    Just like every DC character his backstory is convoluted at best and I'm sure someone could explain him better. Still, that's about the whole of Starman on general terms. I haven't read JSA for months, but I've been meaning to. School had me really busy so I'm pretty behind on comics minus Booster Gold and Deadpool.

    DCD is releasing a Thom that looks absolutely stellar. He features a alternate head with his mask off and looks to be what you'd expect from the best DCD stuff. Sorry, rambling!

    No, that's cool. Thanks. I think I preordered that Starman figure. It's in the JSA set that's due out in April I believe. Spoilers are cool for me for never wprry about that.

    are you kidding me? this is too cool! I must have.......MUST HAVE! Now just think of who else would go with her? Half Lex Half Brainiac? Say what you will but any woman who can talk smack to both Superman and Batman and all they could do is sit back and take it rocks in my book!

    I haven't preordered it yet.. Waiting closer to the release. But yes, that is the Starman I'm talking about, and I am very excited for it.

    And noted!

    In the comics she is a corrupt, obnoxious ho. If they had a bunch of Suicide Squad guys I would be more inclined to get her, but I refuse to own a figure of a character I hate. I haven't seen JLU so I don't know anything about her there, but I can't see them deviating from her personality much.

    I haven't seen many of the JLU episodes so I haven't seen her but in the comics she's something else and I hate her but I guess they think she'll appeal to someone. I wish the JLU was able to be preordered through my local comic store but things like that only can come in cases and I went that route with FF figures stuff once and swore never again.

    well you could look at it like this, if you don't like her then use it for a custom Oprah!

    All I have to say is watch the Justice League cartoon and realize the importance of Waller! I suspect she will be in a six pack though.

    I'm behind on all my books, too, but only by about 2 months. So, possible spoiler for scarecrow, at least:

    Actually, Gog cured Thom's schizophrenia, which turned out to be a problem. Once he was sane, he realized being crazy was integral to the reason he came back in time.

    Ah yes, you are right. I completely forgot Gog cured him, and the end part too. I really need to get some of this stuff. I really like JSA's storylines.

    I'm current on the issues but behind on the actual reading of them plus I got lost when they started all the Kingdom Come stuff.
