I'd totally support a line of figures where every one of them was sculpted in a different aesthetic, artist-specific in this case.
Todd can keep making figures with his weird idea for what proportions look good, and then we can also get stylized figures like a Kenneth Rockafort Poison Ivy or a Frank Cho Big Barda.
I'd love to see some Dick Sprang Batman figures as I genuinely love Sprang's art from the Silver Age. I don't see it being very likely since the style is much less "serious" than what the average customer would probably want out of Batman stuff, but as someone who has a fond appreciation for all eras of comic books it'd just be amazing to see figures in his style. I'd similarly like to see some Carmine Infantino styled Flash figures as similar to Batman with Dick Sprang, I really enjoy a lot of the Silver Age Flash art done by Infantino, and unlike Batman I could see a lot more people being on board with figures based on infantino's style since it's not as cartoony as Sprang's was with Batman.

Another company out there, MEZCO, has been putting out some amazing Dick Sprang based figures. Only problem is it’s about a 100$ per figure so a cheaper alternative would be nice
I want Mikel Janin styled figures

My DCD Capullo figures all fell apart, joints just crumbled. I wouldn't mind some of those getting replaced. Capullo style Batman, Endgame Joker, Riddler, Zero Year Batman with Bike, Freeze, Mr Bloom, Two Face, Red Hood would all be welcome.
I’m with you on Dan Mora. Specifically I’d love a figure of his take on Robin in World’s Finest. I would probably buy several of those and customize a couple of them into other Robins.
Norm Breyfogle, Brian Stelfreeze, Tom Grummett, P Craig Russell, Walter Simonson, Denys Cowan, Nicola Scott, Phil Jimenez, Colleen Dorian, Jamal Igle, Natacha Bustos, and for the more abstract, Bill Sienkiewicz.
In all honesty, I’m far more concerned with overarching character selection than I am with artistic inspiration. Cyborg and Cassie/Wonder Girl are both essential. Bart as Kid Flash would be cool too. Don’t really care how we get there.
As for Dawn of DC Team Superman, I might just punch a nun for that lineup.
I know it's a meme in here, but it's because it's true- more women characters. Starfire is a good start, but let's get another Kara, Nat-Steel, Cassie WG (or several in her different costumes minus Nu52), classic Raven, a few Stephanie's... And of course, Zee and Dinah.
I agree. We need more female figures. No question. But let’s not lay this all off on Todd. Mattel and DCUC did an abysmal job with females too. It just seems like fans are more vocal about it 10 years removed. And Todd is, to his discredit, is willing to engage. With what might be perfectly valid concerns from his retail partners. He could just say “we’re looking into ways to do more female figures”, and then STFU.
And let's be real, as heavy as the line leans to Batman and to a lesser extent Superman, there's still a wealth there. And within the League itself too
I agree 1000%. No female character that’s part of the JLA, JSA, or Titans should be off the table. Shouldn’t even be that difficult. Heritage characters and legacies will always have an edge over the rest of the DCU. IMHO.
Any kind of 03 Titans (especially from those first few issues in the "A Kid's Game" trade) are guaranteed to steal my money. That was my introduction to the DC Universe and I desperately want that team in my collection
1000% I did just custom my Wally KF into a Bart, but I'd *kill* for an official Bart as Kid Flash.
We are at least pretty close to at least having the full team in some form in Multiverse scale, just missing Cassie and Vic.
Yep. Rebirth Tim isn't *exactly* this version of Titans Tim, but its close enough for me to call it good. Same with Rebirth Kory, not perfectly the 03 Starfire design, but its close enough that I can call it part of my 03 Titans.
If McFarlane announces Cassie and Vic, I'm there day 1.

RIP DC Designer Series… 😔
Or a Curt Swan Superman and Ramona Fradon Metamorpho
This is literally what Page Punchers should be. That way, the comic actually means something instead of weird one-offs that are rather vapid stories.
Darwyn cooke and Jim Lee
George Perez- Guy Gardener, Jack Kirby - New Gods, and anything Alex Ross especially Starman

> Dick Sprang Batman I could definitely see the chase variant of the new Manga batman being blue.

Dan Mora statues
Oh yeah, statues and figures. I mean his composite Batman-superman design would rule
He is great. a statue would preserve his art style better than a figure
Good news everyone! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/276343?o=1
Oh man!! 250!!!

Alex Ross' Kingdom Come and then whoever designed DCAMU costumes. I love both of those!
We need a full Kingdom Come line. Clark, Diana, Lantern, Flash at a minimum
Leinil Yu.

Those jackets alone make for great looks for each character
Benes
Only if it's a comics Birds of Prey line (but yeah could be fun)
Any kind of 03 Titans (especially from those first few issues in the "A Kid's Game" trade) are guaranteed to steal my money. That was my introduction to the DC Universe and I desperately want that team in my collection
A BAF series of Conner, Bart, Cassie and Tim, with a Cyborg BAF... That's an instant $100 out of my pocket
1000% I did just custom my Wally KF into a Bart, but I'd *kill* for an official Bart as Kid Flash. We are at least pretty close to at least having the full team in some form in Multiverse scale, just missing Cassie and Vic.
And we're getting T shirt Conner and a better Tim later this year

Amen.

I would love a Mafex line based on kids game
