Something Mcfarlane has made a point about with his line of DC action figures is that he wants to do the cooler looking figures that will stand out against the others, and also that haven't been done before really. That was his reasoning with the Hellbat armor, the Superman Unchained armor, and the upcoming White Knight figures, and it appears that these choices have been well received by fans with these figures being some of the best selling in his assortment! He's said he will do more of what sells, so more of these specific, stylized figures are probably on the horizon so I'm looking to the less classic versions and more modern variations like those listed above for my top 5 most wanted DC stylized figures!

5. Apex Lex
The current Hell Arisen storyline is still going without being resolved, but that doesn't mean that I don't want a figure for the Apex Lex version of the character asap! It is one of the coolest looking power ups for Lex I've seen in comics, and the color scheme would look stunning on a figure with the imposing stature that it would bring along with it!

4. Last Knight on Earth
This is a more recent storyline I read that I really enjoyed. The gritty, insane setting of the story really helped it branch out and do whatever it wanted without being hampered by the continuity of the main stories which I think helps it be so stand out. Batman ends up in a standard batsuit by the climax of the story but it would be absolutely amazing to get a figure based on his insane asylum, tan outfit complete with a Joker head in a jar! In fact, if they made a Joker with the Robin exo suit I think I would cry.

3. Tales from the Dark Multiverse
This was hard to choose so I lumped all of the stories in one slot for this section of the list. I really enjoyed the Dark Multiverse stories we got in the last year, each one depicting some twisted alternate reality where some hero or villain ruined their universe. Each story was its own thing and gave us chilling renditions of what could have been, and while the characters from each story weren't formally united into one Dark Multiverse League I still like to think of them in that way and it would be awesome to have the full set of Batman, Terra, Sinestro, Blue Beetle, and Lois Lane.

2. Grim Knight
Getting back to specific characters, this was one that when I read about him I thought it was a very interesting take on an alternate universe Batman and imagining a figure for him makes me very interested as well. A Batman who picked up the gun in Crime Alley to kill Joe Chill, and eventually becoming a vigilante focused around an arsenal of guns? A great twisted version of Batman and it would make for an awesome figure, with surely an awesome load out of accessories.

1. Dark Knights
We got the Batman who Laughs in wave 1, which was a big hit for them I know, and I really hope that the rest of the Dark Knights won't be far behind because they're definitely one of the most popular things to hit DC pages in recent memory and with their incredible designs would make for amazing figures! Red Death is on the top of my wanted list for this group of characters, with Devastator coming in second because of action figure coolness alone, but the whole group would be welcome in the line and fit the bill of Mcfarlane wanting to do more specific, stylized, hardcore, cool designs that haven't been done before!
