I recently finished reading through the 2003 Teen Titans comic series by DC Comics and it was undoubtedly one of the funnest comics I've read from this era of DC, and quite possibly the best iteration of the Teen Titans I've read as well. Unfortunately we don't have too many figures from this rendition of the team quite yet aside from the recent Conner Kent figure as well as the proportionally odd red suit Tim Drake. With so many fantastic members of the team and villains throughout this run I hope to see some of these upcoming slots in the DC Multiverse line by Mcfarlane in the coming year.
5. The Teen Titans
This slot itself will revolve around the Teen Titans team itself which saw quite a few changes throughout the several years the comic ran for, with a more classic rendition of the team populating the earlier pages of the comics and the later arcs of the run shaking things up towards more obscure and unique line ups. Bart as Kid Flash, Cyborg, Miss Martian and Wonder Girl are some of the more popular choices from the team I'd like to see made, while others like Kid Devil, Bombshell, and Ravager that joined the team throughout the run are others that would make for great releases in the line.
4. Doctor Light
Prior to Identity Crisis Doctor Light was also a bit of a silly villain that the team fought, even during his time on the Suicide Squad, but this comic series saw his return as a villain following Identity Crisis and he was no longer messing around. The short arc that chronicled his return saw him lay waste to legions of Titans, unleashing power unlike any he had before, and with so many villains getting released in the line lately by way of Platinums and chases I would love to see this controversial villain make a new figure debut.
3. Titans East
Speaking of villains, the rest of the list will feature a lot of them, and firstly I'm bringing up the Titans East. Deathstroke himself heads this team, and a classic Pre-New 52 release of this character would surely sell like hot cakes, whilst members like Inertia and Match would be easy re-use of current molds in the line. Batgirl has already been made so the team is started, and others like Sunfire, Riddler's Daughter, and Risk would be more obscure additions to the line.
2. Terror Titans
The Terror Titans were another villainous team of anti-Titan characters, these of which were headed by Clock King and saw their own miniseries chronicling Ravager's infiltration to take down the fight club. While the Titans East were namely there for an elongated battle sequence, the Terror Titans had a much more involved storyline and development for its characters like Dreadbolt and Disruptor. The members of this team fall a bit more on the obscure side so they might be more abstract hopes to see in the line at some point, but releases like Dr Tyme and Sportsmaster give me hope.
1. Titans of Tomorrow
Appearing a couple times throughout the comic series was the Titans of Tomorrow, a horrifying future take on the Teen Titans as they all fall down a dark pathway that cast a lot of self doubt into the minds of their present day iterations. This version of the team even appeared later on during the Rebirth era as Tim Drake of Tomorrow returned as Savior. Conner, Tim, and Bart from this version of the team would be my top three picks to have from this moral-less iteration of the Titans, and as versions of Superman, Batman, and Flash that makes them more likely to be made as well.
