"mediocre bajongas"😂geez😂😂 Really great episode; thank you! I just counted and was surprised at how many episodes I've missed. I tend to be sickly and quite often have to take things super casually. I'll enjoy trying to catch up tho'! Your three-pack ideas are ingenious and so obvious in retrospect. Hmm. Maybe it's not money that Todd hates, but...??
I devoured those Super Powers articles, and even created my own recreation of the Supergirl prototypes discussed/shown in those action figure magazines. Interestingly, they mispelled the name of the WOMAN who helped do the design pitches for Super Powers, Justine Dantzer. Justine was later immortalized in the Ever After High line as the namesake for a character named Justine Dancer.
It's interesting how Poison Ivy was mostly forgotten until a few appearances right before Crisis, then she got a post-Crisis polish in Secret Origins, and then ended up in BTAS and just blew up into one of Batman's Top Rogues.
Yeah she was really a lot of nothing until BTAS really. Like we knew about her but suddenly seeing her fully realized and in pop culture was the boost she needed.
Seems like the Girls Night Out Animated Series set sold pretty well, so it’s interesting that we haven’t seen something like that for Super Powers from McFarlane yet. And if, for whatever embargo there seems to be on ladies in the Super Powers line, that’s just not in the cards, I love the idea of 3 packs that includes a male character too. My personal pick is a “Mad Love Triangle” pack with Ivy, Harley, and Joker. Tell me that wouldn’t sell…
I do wonder if DC Direct has less oversight. But yeah, pull a Mattel and do a Radiation Suit Supes with Kara or Lois, Lava Blast Batman with Babs or Selina. I'll pay for the straight-the-trashcan repaint JUST to get a lady out of the deal.
@@JustBSingProductions They're up to wave eleven and it's just... four versions of Wonder Woman, yeah?? (Including that Comic Con exclusive where each of the Trinity is pretty much just greyscale)
I'd love to get these, hopefully one day they might get made. Interestingly, while I don't buy many McFarlane figures, nearly all the ones I do buy are of women.
The current Super Powers line is very weird. I collected the original line, but I have Metamorpho, for goodness' sake, I am not buying any more of these until there are more female figures. Great choices. There are numerous female figures I could realitically see, Lois Lane, Supergirl, Power Girl, (there's a three pack for ya) Batgirl, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Black Canary, Huntress, Zatanna, aside from the Gotham and Titans characters you've mentioned. I'd at least like a classic Wonder Woman sculpt, Superman has had a few sculpt passes. If they were doing deep cut choices like with the men I would be talking about Cassie Sandsmark and Jade, give me a break.
3:23 incorrect! Harley was never popular on BTAS at first. The writers had no intentions on a sidekick for joker until Paul Dini came up with the idea of Joker having a henchwoman remeniscent of Queenie from the Adam West show. Bruce Timm let Dini use Harley in Joker’s Favor episode and that was it. But Dini kept pushing to have the character being a staple of the series. Bruce Timm and the other staff didn’t care for the characters..Paul dini did and that’s why all Harley’s episodes are written by Paul dini and she only appears in the Paul dini written episodes. It wasn’t til really the Arkham games and Margot Robbie’s depiction is when the character became popular.
Internal division aside, I would argue she was instantly popular with the fans. She made the jump to DC Comics proper in 1999 and was slated to be one of the villains in the sequel to Batman & Robin before the floor fell out of those movies.
Yeah definitely,she became popular but only to like comic fans. I think Margot Robbie is where she fully took off to the mainstream. As far as Batman unchained..I think they were referring to duela dent who also went by name of Harlequin and was the joker’s daughter. But it could’ve been Harley Quinn herself. It sucks the sequel never got made. There’s a Batman 89 comic saga that takes inspiration from that cancelled Batman film.
Totally agree! Need all those women. And where is Shazam?! Just preordered the Bizarro and Riddler, but I am surprised but not shocked McFarlane has only done Wonder Woman
I think I truly was shocked and disappointed each time a leaked list would come out but now I think I'd drop dead if I saw literally anyone without a penis in the rumour mill.
Sir, you are welcome to come back to Super Powers as many times as possible

STILL bajongas. But more modest. And yeah it's not a cute look for Todd

Oh daaaaamn dropping history and facts!
This is so cool! Thank you!

The breadth of your knowledge, Allison, is continuously astonishing. Pretty cool! 😃
@@TitularHeroine If I ever get my ducks in a row, I'll launch my Wonder Woman History channel one of these days.

I know it's just comical at this stage. And time is tickin
Why do you hate money, Todd? Why?
Childish pride?

@@keeferkifflom360 Oh completely. Although BTAS was huge for Gen X and Millennials but her meteoric rise into the zeitgeist wasn't overnight.
