Mcfarlane recently revealed a Batcycle vehicle from the Death Metal series currently running from DC, which means the gates are now open for the toy company to delve into this new Crisis the DC universe has found itself in. While the story is only a few issues in, it seems that isn't stopping Mcfarlane from going full steam ahead into the pages of this insane chapter in DC's history, and I already have a few choices about what characters I'd like to see adapted into figure form! So here are my top 5 most wanted DC Death Metal based figures.

5. Wonder Woman
Avoiding spoilers as much as possible, Wonder Woman got an incredible moment in the end of issue 1 that is definitely one of the most stand out moments in this Batman who Laughs saga so far. She also has a critical role in this storyline, making her ripe for picking out of this series along with the fact that we haven't gotten very many Wonder Woman figures yet. Her chainsaw weapon would make for a very interesting accessory to replace the usually standard sword, and her armor would look awesome.

4. Batman
I'm placing this one lower on the list because I feel like its all but expected to happen with his bike now made into plastic form. Who else is going to be made to ride it? I love Batman's gritty look in the tale too just like Wonder Woman, with his trench coat, scythe, and back lantern ring all rounding out a very unique design for the Dark Knight that would definitely make it stand out from all the ones we've gotten so far!

3. Lord Batman who Laughs and the Darkest Knight
Mcfarlane admitted that they dug deep in order to make another Batman who Laughs figure when they came up with the comic cover inspired figure of him with the Sky Tyrant's wings, but now there are two more entirely real versions from the comics and I'm sure they will jump on these new designs for the character. The silver accents of the armor he wears while he is the Lord looks awesome, and truly makes him seem like a royal version of himself while the Darkest Knight is truly scary. The abstract design of this version would make for a figure unlike any others in the line so far!

2. Superman
Out of all the new looks introduced in the Death Metal storyline, I think I like Superman's the most! The hardcore rock and roll aesthetic of the character really just goes against my minds eye of Superman but it works really well for this dystopian world where things aren't entirely how we usually know them. The long hair, sleeveless look, chains around the waist all just seem like something Mcfarlane would be interested in adapting and I really hope he would come with that guitar as well!

1. Wally West
This isn't a design that hails from Death Metal but it is a character that has featured heavily in it and I don't expect to do a list talking about Fast Forward so Wally West falls into this list as number one. I love the character and I love the Flash series in general, so I'm super eager to get more figures from this super family after Barry Allen soon. While I would like Wally's red uniform as well, his blue Mobius chair outfit would look very striking and is a figure I've been wanting ever since I read the end of Fast Forward.
