What are the odds/rumors of a Hawkman re-release or a Hawkman/woman two-pack where they match?

Or actually classic.
If you look at Hawkgirl's boots seems she will be using the WW body for she looks pretty tall.

Can someone please find the designers, shake them violently, and scream at them to not make the legs so fucking long that all the figures are out of scale. It’s been years of this, they cant not know at this point.
@supreme_d Oh, they know. It's either very intentional or they just don't care.
@supreme_d But remember every other company has bad scaling too which is the norm, so Mac should get a pass. Never mind continuous improvement and serious critiques by the fans who give his company their hard earned cash and should basically stay quiet.
Seriously though I feel you. I’m still pissed off at Powergirl. Sculpts are great even though I’m meh on the articulation.
Guys how come we're not talking about this BANGER:
If you love purple, boy, we have four mismatched purples for you here. The box says it best, "HA HA HA".
This one's readily available. Sure, maybe you missed out on Powergirl, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Spectre, and a pile of Platinums, but this guy is in stock and ready to rock.
Can we all agree that these Jokerized figures have been the biggest miss of McF's reign? Is anyone collecting them? No shade if so, I can imagine them looking fun together on a shelf. They just seem kind of "forced" to me, like, every Batman "needs" a Joker repaint for some reason.
When are we getting a jokerized frostbite patina Batman?
I've bought a few of the Jokerized versions of figures, after they got to be under $10. I have them in Dark Knights Metal display with all of the evil Batmen. I've got Harley, Hush, Scarecrow and Last Knight on Earth Batman. I think I paid an average of around $8 for them. They're... not good. I don't recommend anyone else buy them, even at that price point.

If I never see another Jokerized figure it’ll be too soon.
McFarlane is like the husband that gives his wife the set of golf clubs HE always wanted on their anniversary…and legitimately has NO idea why she’s upset.

I don't think anyone's trying to give him a pass, but its surely a valid point that that some fans are critiquing this line in ways they don't critique others.
Particularly with the sentiment that Mattel will do a much better job- I collect their Masterverse line, and the leg proportions were the thing that initially put me off starting my collection and that still is one of my biggest annoyances with the line.

🤣SO much this!!!
@dave-o This is the third response I’ve tried because the forums keep not loading my responses
Im of the opinion that Hasbro ML gets more critiques than Mac for the simple fact that they have had the ML license far longer than Mac has had DC but you may not see it much on here. Outside of here, the criticisms are just as much if not more on different forums. But that’s irrelevant. Any company, where there’s an obvious recurring issue, should get called out. Doesn’t matter if it’s Hasbro, Mac, Jada, Storm, Mattel, Neca, or whoever else. On my end I’ve written emails at least once to every company I collect and of course rant on here if something seems off to me. But that’s just me.
I genuinely didn't think my post had posted- I just had an error message when I posted, so I think its happening to a fair few.
Fwoosh has and always will be a Marvel orientated forum- the Marvel threads always get more traction. It isn't just coincidence that its listed first.
I originally joined in 2011, and there were lots of annoyances about Hasbro who had pretty much killed off the line it seemed- but when ML did return everyone was so appreciative to have anything at all in the way of 6 inch figures that Hasbro often got a lot of leeway. I did it myself- character selection was mostly modern (fine for many), paint apps minimal, re-use of many moulds, but few vocal complaints. By the time of the Bucky Cap, there was a clear preference for anything Hasbro over Toybiz. The mindset was that fans didn't want the more unique and distinct looks of the Toybiz figures, and the more awkward joints (some of those shoulders and hips were pretty out there), and they preferred a more streamlined and homogenised look across the line. There's a particular mindset that has taken hold over the community.
And there's a lot of bleedthrough here that people just want a Hasbro-like toyline for DC. They think they're more likely to get that with Mattel- which is fine for them. I personally think that Hasbro lack any artistic integrity, are lazy and cut way too many corners, and everytime you think you are getting value (that they charged the same for Spiral as some of the other trash they spew out is still one of the most surprising things of the past few years) they'll quick readjust to make sure next time you don't. Mattel have been better with Masterverse, but its their own license. I think we're going to be getting an ML-lite line, but whether that is good or bad I think we can all agree the McFarlane line has never been.
As much as I have gripes and annoyances with McFarlane, I 'm going to have more issues with Mattel's line. I'm not gonna hold back on stating those annoyances with McFarlane, and everyone should be be free to call them out when they do silly/stupid/dodgy things, but I am going to try to keep some perspective- it could be worse, and everytime I see that everytime I look at my ML display.
