Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
Another wave of 5. How about that? I'd agree that Wave 3 where the only big time villains are Penguin and Ras is a little disappointing. But, I think the inclusion of Azrael and that thug means they're likely to have at least two more waves. No way they make a random thug and leave out Nightwing, Two Face, Strange, etc. I'd rather they have gone with Strange rather than Azrael or the Thug ... but, can't win 'em all. Its good news that they appear to be taking this line to the end.
That leaves unannounced ...
Major players -- Nightwing, Two Face, Hugo Strange, Talia Al Ghul, Deadshot, Solomon Grundy, and Clayface. I'd figure you'd only need one wave of 5 to get those, and two more DLX figures (for Grundy and Clayface).
Non-major players ... Calendar Man, Bruce Wayne, Black Mask, Deathstroke, Commissioner Gordon, Aaron Cash, and the Abramovici Twins.
The way they've been throwing in random non-major guys (like Azrael, Hush, Hatter, Thug), I'm thinking they're more likely to do two more waves of five. Maybe one wave with Battle Damaged Batman, Hugo Strange, Talia Al Ghul, Nightwing and Calendar Man. And, a second wave with Bruce Wayne (or another Batman variant I haven't thought of), Two Face, Deadshot, Black Mask and another Thug.
They could mix in the Abramovici twins with the deluxe waves, I guess. Maybe Grundy with Titan Joker, and Clayface with the Abramovici twins.
