Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Teen Titans Academy figures
The obvious one to start with would be the Titans themselves! We're still missing quite a few of them from the display and major members like Beast Boy, Raven, and Donna Troy would make for awesome action figures from Mcfarlane to go along with Nightwing and Wally! It was really nice to see these once sidekicks becoming mentors of their own to a new generation of heroes, really maturing and growing into adults and heroes of their own.
4. Gorilla Grodd
Unfairly, this isn't technically a character based from Teen Titans Academy but I love the New 52 design for this character and so once a storyline in the series involved Gorilla Grodd as the primary villain I had to slot him into this list! The Injustice 2 figure is one of my favorites from the line thanks to the unique detailed sculpt of this character being a literal Gorilla, and getting a hulking, caped Gorilla Grodd based off of his design in this and the New 52 would be epic.
3. Alinta
This character gets a big boost from me after starring in the Future State Suicide Squad title, and seeing more of her origins here in this comic were fun. The character herself as a representative icon is great, and we've never had action figures quite like her before which would make her even more of a groundbreaking figure for kids to find on the shelf. Mcfarlane also loves to do some speedsters!
2. Cybeast
Another design from Future State that I was excited to see come to fruition in the present day comics, Cybeast is the fused form of Beast Boy and Cyborg and while the transformation didn't come about the way I was quite expecting it to I am hoping that the comics can come up with a unique way to utilize this combination. It should be grim, a struggle for these two separate beings who have now been locked together, and I hope Raven weaving an "illusion" to make them appear separate doesn't effectively negate the event.
1. Red X
I will be frank and say that I was initially really invested in the mystery of who Red X was, the mystery bled into the concurrently running Suicide Squad series, and the idea of some mysterious person infiltrating Titans academy was one of the biggest draws of the series! When they ultimately revealed who it was I had a hard time recalling the character from their regular interactions in the Academy, and his motivation came across as thin, almost random, and without very much set up from the storyline itself. In the end, I was incredibly disappointed with how Red X was revealed and resolved; however, that initial enigma made for some really cool encounters with the Titans and Suicide Squad, and the design has always been very sly.
