DC Universe Classics Wave Fifteen

theboxSo the line up for DC Universe Classics Wave Fifteen has been revealed. No surprise that Martian Manhunter is finally getting a release, and Golden Pharaoh helps complete the Super Powers homages. (Of no personal interest to me, but it should make a lot of old fans happy.) What I'm exited about, though, is the Jack Knight variant of Starman! I wish the photo showed the back of his jacket, but the figure looks good so far.
Jack was in the fan's choice poll a while ago, so I suppose I should have expected to see him eventually, but it was still a pleasant surprise. Now there's only a few figures I want to see in this line:
Poison Ivy
Huntress
Batwoman
Fire
Ice
Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
The Question (Renee Montoya)
Oracle
Lady Shiva
The Mad Hatter
The Ventriloquist
... listed in order of estimated likelihood that we'll ever get them. Poison Ivy and Huntress are certain to show up eventually, the only thing holding them up is the one female per wave policy. Not sure if we'll ever get a Sandman Mystery Theatre Dodds but weirder things have happened. After that it's pure wishful thinking. The chances we'll see a woman in a suit with a blank mask, an awesome hacker in a wheelchair, or a couple of second-tier Batman villains who'd probably require all-new sculpts are slim. I find it incredibly frustrating that we're more likely to see D-list male characters like Killer Moth and Jemm of Saturn than most of the women on my list.
I'd also like a Lex Luthor in a business suit, which might happen, plus Catwoman and Two-Face in the regular line. Or I could get that box set and have a purple-and-green Luthor I don't really want, and a Superman. And I'm not crazy about the orange and purple outfit for Two-Face, either. I'll have to get a Batman who's not covered inexcrement clay sooner or later, though.
I wonder what useless part of some Legion villain I've never heard of I'll get with Jack Knight? Leg? Arm? Thanks to Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, I have both of Atom Smasher's legs, which is more of a DCU collect-and-connect figure than I've ever owned before. I hope to some day have enough bits to build a horrifying Frankenstein's monster.
