This would be really cool. Light up that requires a battery and to switch it on and off or like a glow?

You know, they dabbled in light-up pops, but I do wonder if they would dip their toe into the sound version of a pop or two.

I think the key is they should stick to sounds and not vocals, if you will. There's some potential to make the pop more "regal" or "ominous" much like certain glow pops do to a character.

Never even thought about this one but it would lend itself extremely well to a diecast. The shine would make him look so eye-catching.

Yeah, too bad rock candy didnt do as well as other lines. I thought they were pretty awesome. I think they will go through the heros 1st for die cast before going into the villians. which other villians would you guys like to see?



Dark seed would be cool as well


Darkseid would be sweet. For sure they would have to make joker to go with batman.
