Most Requested Figures: DCUC Swamp Thing

NoisyDvL5October 9, 2009June 26, 201073

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look across our displays and, no matter how many toys we have, only see the ones that aren't there. They are the missing figures. The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse - the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the "We're Never Gonna Make These" case...

Though at first glance it might seem that Mattel is our Most Requested focus yet again, it's actually DC Comics, Vertigo, Dan Didio, and Karen Berger in our sights this Friday. Mattel's going to need their help if we're going to pull this one off.

Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, it's a toy blog, and yeah, we want more toys. Blah. Blah. Blah. But you know what else? We get thirsty too. And we don't mean knock back a few and go on a drunken toy run. No, we're talking about a drink from our youth. Heck, we're talking liquid childhood here. It's the 25th Anniversary of Ghostbusters, right? We've got blu-ray. We've got new toys. We've got minimates. We've got a video game. But you know what we don't have? Ecto-Cooler.

Of the various e-mails we receive about the site features, the Most Requested Figure column seems to get the most attention. Some people e-mail in their support for our request (and some denounce them). Some folks send in requests they'd like to see or ways to go about getting more support for their particular want. This week though, we received a unique e-mail. One reader asked about the futility of the column and why we do it. It really made us think.

For the most part, we don't see this column as futile. A Martian Manhunter DC Classic is certain. Mattel skipping out on JLU Toyman would be a bonehead move. Hasbro will eventually do a 25th Covergirl. Mezco *could* make more comic Hellboy. We do think about the likelihood when we plan these articles and we usually cast aside the ones we think would be futile. But why not do a futile one? So, contrary to what our reader may have intended, we're going to feature one of those futile requests: Xevoz.

The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse – the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the “We’re Never Gonna Make These” case. Saturdays are for these figures…

We here at ItsAllTrue.Net were happy to find Wave 2 at TRU over the weekend and the Ghostbusters shelf is filling up pretty quickly for such a relatively new toyline. We looked ahead to see which figures were still to come and were surprised to find that we're only six figures away from the "current" end of the line. And barely that, since two of the six are identical to ones we have, and three are different versions of characters we already have. That leaves Gozer, if you're counting with us.

We hadn’t planned on Monday being a follow-up to our Saturday Most Requested column about completing teams in the DC Classics line, but the tremendous response to our article made us want to crunch the numbers and see which teams and what characters our readers wanted. Besides, with DCUC9 not anywhere nearby, what else does a bunch of blogging toy collectors have to do all weekend? :D

Before we get knee deep in pie charts, we want to take a minute to thank everyone who participated. That was the biggest response we'd had to an article in the history of the site! You really blew us away all day Saturday. Thank you.

Toy collectors are an interesting bunch. We're a diverse group of people with different backgrounds, different tastes, different opinions. Sometimes it seems like we might have very little in common other than the love of toys, but there is a common factor we see in a lot of toy collections. We at ItsAllTrue like to group our action figures into subteams and we're not the only ones.
