Dark Knights Metal continues to be the bread and butter of Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line which is really leading me to wonder what the line will look like once he gets close to finishing out that storyline? For the mean time though we're still getting awesome looking figures from the story like Red Death, the Merciless, and the Robin Crows which thin out my initial list quite a bit, so I'm coming back around to delve in Metal and count down the top 5 figures I want Mcfarlane to make from this major storyline in recent DC history!

5. Lady Blackhawk Hawkgirl
Hawkgirl's role in the Justice League comic book after Metal has been a pretty substantial role and that follows up on what happened in Metal itself, with Hawkgirl becoming a figure called "Lady Blackhawk" and obtaining wings made of pure metal. It was an absolutely awesome look for the character, and while I would like a regular comic book Hawkgirl at some point, I'm not completely opposed if Mcfarlane wants to produce this intense version first.

4. Golden Red Death
Perhaps the easiest figure on this list for Mcfarlane to do as it would be a simple repaint, and offer him the chance to save money on sculpting as the line is predominantly new sculpts. Once the evil Bruce Wayne persona was sponged from Red Death all that was left was Barry, free to have control over his body again, and with this change the grim red color of his skin became a dazzling gold. It would make for an awesome look to the figure even if it was a simple repaint.

3. Element X armored Trinity
The big moment at the end of the story where I knew things were finally changing in the way for the heroes was when the Justice League were given armor made out of element X, which made them more powerful than they had previously been and they finally began to overcome the Dark Knights! The main trinity are the ones I'm narrowing in on, as they were the ones who wore it most iconically, and the line can always use more Batmans, Wonder Womans, and Supermans! Especially if they're wearing cool looking silver armor.

2. Barbatos
Getting into the two that are left from the first list I did, Barbatos was effectively the big bad of the Metal storyline despite Batman who Laughs being the poster child. His form was truly scary, being a gangly figure in a bat cloak many times much larger than the heroes of the story. His size would likely be scaled down for figure form, but his design alone would warrant an awesome looking figure and the Dark Knights display would grow even more with him looming in the background.

1. The Drowned
After the recent round of reveals from Mcfarlane, this is probably the most wanted figure for a lot of collectors. Not only is it an awesome character from the comics, and one of the most unique Dark Knights being a gender bent version of Bruce Wayne, but she is also the final Dark Knight we need in order to finish out our line up of the original Dark Knight Justice League! Hopefully it won't be too much of a wait to finish this awesome team, and one that we've been building since the very beginning of Mcfarlane's time with the license!
