My guess would be the Jim Lee designed armor. For me I would like both versions. I just feel it will be the armor since the new Superman movie suit looks a lot like it.

Yeah, I figure that's the most likely option, but I'm still holding out hope

I misunderstood, sorry, I thought it was a typo, because McFarlane used to do a platinum edition.

No apologies needed for anything, I wasn't jumping on your back, just answering your question. McFarlane still cranks out the Platinums, now more than ever, really, this just isn't that.

Superman VS Godzilla isn't really a shocker, I was expecting it since they announced Batman VS King Kong. Cowboy Batman sounds fun. But the main thing that really caught my eye was New 52 Superman. If that's the Jim Lee designed armor, I'll probably let it pass me by, but if it's the jeans and T-shirt look from Morrison's Action Comics, it'll be a must have for me.

Edit: Also, I'm predicting that Hal Jordan armor suit (RETURN OF SUPERMAN) figure will probably be a Hal Jordan built on the new Green Lantern body, with removable armor. Probably the grey in his hair, since that's how he looked in that storyline. I'll probably pick that up if I'm correct

I have no idea what a "Platina" is, but Patina is correct. Those are the repaints they do where they're painted as if they're bronze statues (for some inexplicable reason).

That SPAWN #311 (PATINA), that's supposed to be PLATINA, right?

The Cowboy Batman might be Jonah Hex remade (we'll see), I'm looking forward to the Cyborg Superman and Eradicator hopefully it'll be good. Will the New52 Supi be a new body or just a repaint? (That Alfred is really needed?) That SPAWN #311 (PATINA), that's supposed to be PLATINA, right?

Classic Eradicator and Cyborg Superman (surely one of the two(!) will look 'classic' enough) will be must-haves for me.

I'm honestly shocked they've held off this long from doing a gimmick Demon figure of any kind, it's one of the few sculpts from the early days they haven't re-used/recolored/re-released yet.

I'm actually kind of bothered by the notion that Creepy Robin getting Jokerized is probably going to work for the sculpt, and will likely look more interesting than the original.

Who wants to bet that Cowboy Batman will get re-released somewhere down the line double-packed with a horse, regardless of how much of a pegwarmer this first one winds up being?

I was lucky to get that. Chrome vacu plating still holds up. Its not as articulated as the others in the line though (and they had limited articulation even then).

Nice! I came across one at an antique mall once where the vac metal was pretty much worn out all over and even that one commanded a hefty price lol.

Where is Modern Harley already?

Seriosuly, McFarlane, can you maybe make LESS Batman toys? The DC universe is wast and has tons of great characters. I do not think anyone needs 50 more Batman figures of his various incarnations and color variants.

Like any other company, he's going to only respond when he sees his bottom line being affected. Despite the overt re-use, inaccurate designs, wildly overpriced crude products he puts out, inexplicably people are still buying his stuff. So he has no reason to not continue milking that particular cow.

When he wants to, he can do some great work; he's adding soft good capes that look good, that Batmobile (Tumbler) was one of the better versions of that vehicle made to date (that can actually fit figures), the Superman Unchained armor and the red Azrael Curse of the White Knight were also exceptional. I made a comment recently about the Kenner style Super Powers JSA 3 pack, too. I may not be buying his line but If for nothing other than the nostalgia, I'd be interested in seeing him do more of those.
