McFarlane has finally revealed their line of DC figures and I think they look really good! The sculpting and paint work on the figures look top notch, and the line is already including Arrowverse characters in the line up! While the Flash TV show hasn't been introduced into the line yet, it is young and just getting started, with no doubt plans of figures based on this show in the pipe line. I'm excited to get another shot at articulated figures based on the show after Mattel's line didn't have the best offerings in terms of sculpt or articulation, and the DCTV line seemingly died a while back. So with a bit of generalization in the slots, here are the top 5 CW The Flash action figures I want from McFarlane.

Top 5 favorite CW The Flash villains (non big bad)
5. The Flash
Starting off with the obvious choice, Barry is the main hero of the show and the one that we watch week after week! He is a big draw for fans of the show, and it makes sense that when the show comes to the line it will be with this hero! I don't know what outfit they would use for him, but personally I hope to see either his season 4 or current season 6 looks, as they were my favorites!

4. Sidekicks
Throughout the six seasons that the Flash has been on air, he has had quite a few different sidekicks during that time. There are a choice few that I'd be really interesting in getting figures of! Wally has gotten some action figure treatment before, but he would looked great paired with Barry in this new line's aesthetic, and I would love some action figures of the newer sidekicks like Elongated Man and XS! Cisco/Vibe is a definite stand out who deserves an action figure of his own, his in show character being a total fanatic about the superhero world!

3. The Rival
I give this character his own slot because he really doesn't fit in anywhere else on the list! The Rival appeared as the opening villain of the first episodes of season 3, providing for a fun, high energy villain who tested our hero both within Flashpoint and without. I've seen a lot of people dislike his outfit, but I absolutely loved it! The black suit with red cracks, along with the almost beaked nosepiece and flared wings coming off the side of the mask, I think it looks straight supervillain and I so hope that this short lived villain somehow gets a figure!

2. The Rogues
The Flash has dealt with many villains over the course of the show's life, but the definite best of the bunch have been the Rogues, the adaptation of some of his best and constantly recurring villains from the comics! My personal favorites among this group is Weather Wizard, Trickster, and Abra Kadabra, though as they stand in the show their outfits were not the most toyetic. I know there is a lot of love out there for Captain Cold and Heatwave, meaning that out of all the Rogues from the show they are most likely to receive figures.

1. Big bads
Not to forget about the biggest villains of all with all this talk about other villains on the show! It is a staple every season for Flash to have one or two big villains to take down over the course of the season, usually leading to a grand battle in the finale. There have been great big bads, and sub par big bads, and there are a few I would definitely love to get in the line! Reverse Flash has gotten a few figures from different sources over the years, but will likely be the first villain to be in the line. Zoom is a very popular foe as well, but as for me I would die for figures of the Thinker and the armored up version of Savitar. The most recent big bad, Bloodwork, in his monstrous form would be quite the figure as well. All would make for very fine figures in the line, and any further representation of the CW line would be very welcome by me.
