Tweeterhead Teen Titans

I'm not going to continue debating the business models of a company I don't work for , I'll just be the glass half full guy waiting patiently and expecting not 100% accurate (list artist name here) outfits

There is also a steep drop-off in existing high-end collectibles after X-Men, Avengers and JLA. Nobody can even count the number of Batman and Superman even WW statues anymore. Up from action figure to 1/3 scale there are several options.

The same truly cannot be set for the TT, maybe Robin at best, but for some you have zero options in scale statues.

Point being, the market might be limited, but it's also at 0% saturation, unlike X-Men, Avengers and JLA :-)

I would've picked him up, if there was even a 1% chance of a JLI line-up materializing at ... any point in time. I doubt that'll happen in my lifetime though, and that is really the only context I would love to have a MM in my collection.
Again though, we are debating whether the Teen Titans can make the cut, if that is up for grabs, there is no point in even mentioning the JLI with illustrious characters like Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Elongated Man, Guy Gardner, Mr. Miracle & Big Barda (what I would give for those though ... ^^) and so on and so forth.

If I could I'd want all of these:

The fact that a company hasn't made this is a damn shame.

Teen Titans Go is popular, but it's popular with a demographic that probably isn't buying statues anytime soon. And even then, they'll be looking for those versions, not the Perez ones. Same with the grim dark live action version. This isn't like the Batman the Animated Series, where the original fans are now prime collecting candidates.

Hard disagree that people know anything about comics know the Titans and not Martian Manhunter. He's the same caliber as most of them, mid-level. Outside of comics he's also frequently in shows and movies, both live action and animated. Plus videogames. He's not an A-lister but he's at least on par with Beast Boy and Kid Flash. Or Cyborg pre-Snyder.

It's a forum, what other dumb stuff will we debate?

If you could pick one artist to base any statue line on, who would it be? No Perez.

That Blue Beetle with transparent yellow goggles is my extreme longshot wish. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Kevin Maguire style of course.

A Barda and Mr. Miracle would be great too. Maybe lightning will strike twice for Tom King and he'll get a show for them like Wandavision.

Well you're in luck with Ivan Reis if you like 1/10.

I could get down with Rogers and Maguire. Breyfogle, Mike Allred, and Joelle Jones as well.

DC Direct line didn't capture Jones' style well.

I was considering getting the Joelle Jones Black Canary statue but I did not like it to pay full price for it (if I could find it discounted then I might). The Jones Catwoman bride statue was stunning though.
