The winner of Toyfare's latest DCUC fan poll has been officially revealed as none other than Raven.

The poll, which began shortly after this year's Comic-Con, consisted of Raven, Freddy Freeman, Toyman, Geo-Force, Libra, and Uncle Sam. The latest issue of Toyfare revealed that Raven won the competition by a landslide and will be a part of the 15th wave of Mattel's DC Universe Classics next year.

Boo! Where's my Captain Marvel, Jr... :mad:

Boo! Where's my Captain Marvel, Jr... :mad:

DC Direct made one! Why does everyone want Mattell to remake characters that DC Direct has already made? My problem is I have to rebuy characters that I've own for years just to get a Collect and Connect figure. Raven is another example. I have the entire core team of Gerogre Perez's Teen Titans so WHY DO I NEED ANOTHER RAVEN???

Frankly...

- I'm not a fan of the DC Direct version,
- I like articulation in my figures,
- Mattel's figures are relatively easier to find at retail than DC Direct,
- and I think the Horsemen could have done something cool with the character.

Those all seem like pretty good reasons for a character being "re-made" (though I don't count it as a remake if a different company is doing it). Just because one company made one doesn't mean it's the best thing ever for everyone. And doesn't Mattel have just as much of a right to make a character that they haven't yet made even though someone else did one?
