How excited are you?!

So explain to me why the woman openly in love with her abuser is a role model for kids?

Harley is more popular, of course she's going to be in it

and she's not an abuse victim or a rampant murderess in this, just a clown girl that likes pranks
>>
>>83697500
She hasn't become a villain yet.

They already planted the seeds for Ivy going full school shooter in the future.

>>83697459
So in superhero high, is joker Harley's abusive father?

Poison Ivy is a good guy now?

She's been one for quite a while
>>
>>83697630
Ivy has always been on the edge of "neutral"

I mean even in the Arkham games she helps Batman. Harley is still a villain in pretty much every incarnation so I don't know why shes a hero.

>>83697459
>>83698140
Because it's a blatant marketing-driven toy commercial. They don't care about the implications, she's popular.

You guys are looking for some sort of story or thematic consistency - there isn't one. You could get a better narrative out of a Sears catalog.

I like the shorts. They are bite size and can be as meta as they want. Without any over arcing plot. Like this episode you get the Harley craze of everyone wanting to ape her style and her being a Blog whore. It works so well for this version of HQ that I'm surprised it hasn't being done soon.
>>
>>83697459
You can take a character out of one context (a darker one) and put them in another context (a lighter one). That's how Batman: The Brave and the Bold worked. That's how it's worked for literally decades, my man.

Me too anon but this series seems immune to the rule 34 trope. I guess people just don't want porn made of this series which baffles me honesty.

Watching people complain Harley Quinn because is popular always makes me laugh considering this is the same board that never complained when Johns pushed his pet character Cold into every media and even the Justice League.

With the difference that people like Harley Quinn so the push is justified.

He's actually an idiot, though. The whole reason he's not the most broken DC superhero is because of his extreme lack of creativity and imagination when using his do-everything power.

>He's actually an idiot, though.
Which never made sense to me since you have to be very quick thinking and creative as a test pilot to do the job. Hal should never be as dense as he's shown most of the time unless he's being a trolling bastard most of the time.

It's intellectually dishonest.

Harley was created as a villain. Therefore, that's how she must always be portrayed. No deviating from established parameters. Consistency is something that must always be maintained to the letter.

>>83702588

She's not. DC doesn't have the license to any Disney characters. And there wouldn't be any point in securing the license for that purpose.

Sense has never, and will never be common.
Your post is proof enough of that. Instead of picking up on anon making a not-so-subtle jab at Katana's design, you launch into full-condescension mode assuming anon actually expected the character to be Mulan.
Think before you post next time.
Then DON'T post.

>He's actually an idiot, though.

- The most famous Green Lantern and the yardstick against which all other GLs are measured.
- Routinely rescues lives by the billions and trillions time and time and time again.
- Appears in countless comics, even BESIDES the titles he himself headlines
- Founding member of the Justice League
- One of DCs top tier heroes.

"Idiot"

Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, bitch.

>>The whole reason he's not the most broken DC superhero is because of his extreme lack of creativity and imagination when using his do-everything power.

But answer this question. Yes or no. Does he get the job done?

YES

or

NO?

Ill answer that for you. Yes, he does. It doesn't matter if he uses a giant boxing glove or some super intricate elaborate trap that would make the killer in SAW shit himself to stop an alien fleet. The alien fleet got stopped. And that's all that matters.

>>Just read any of the hundred storylines where someone competent and smart got the ring.

Don't get pissy at me. I didn't make him post his ignorant comment.

So who is in the second wave of dolls? So far we know Katana is getting one.

The other girls who show up are Cheetah (whole first season,) Frost (shows up in Harley's group of best friends and is the head of Science Club,) Catwoman (she's in the episode about weapons training), Miss Martian (in Space Club), and Star Sapphire (I can't remember the episode but she fawns over Hal.) Hawkgirl is listed on the site too but I don't remember her actually appearing.

Of those I'd say Catwoman and Katana are sure bets, and Cheetah is incredibly likely.

The dolls are currently exclusive to Target but are selling so well that other retailers have picked them up.


Anecdotally I was at a target and heard a little girl positively BEGGING her mom for a Batgirl while they were coming into the store, so kids are dragging their parents to target to get DC dolls.

The most prominent Justice League members in merchandise tend to be the ones whose powers and abilities are obvious just by the name and design. That's why Flash and Aquaman are more well-known than Green Lantern. Cyborg is perfect in that regard. Even if you had no idea who the hell he was, you could immediately infer what his deal is just by hearing his name.

>It's a different Harley!

What >>83712513 said still stands, why reinvent a villain when they had several characters they could put in her and Ivy's places? And give me a reason besides "They're popular."

>>83720102
>SHE'S THE PINKY PIE OF THE GROUP
I want to vomit.
>>
>>83720305
They're popular.
>>
>>83720191
>Crazy Quilt is also a costuming professor. Grodd is vice principal.

Did they just run out of characters or something?
>>
>>83720305
Ivy does provide diversity in colors too for the little girls who like green. Hard to think of another female character with that color who would sell unless they put Arisia on Earth I guess but stores are probably afraid of GL stuff still. Fire was in a spread but she wouldn't sell.

>>83720361
But popularity is the reason. Mattel wants money and Batshit sells. You don't have to like Harley or Ivy to understand that it's a numbers game to help the overall health of the line so that they can do less popular characters in the future waves.
>>
>>83720361
>when they had several characters they could put in her and Ivy's places?
Like who?

And "they're popular" is a valid reason, why would you not use easily marketable characters that already have a foothold in popularity?
>>
>>83720409
And by the way, it's working. The dolls are a huge hit, especially for an exclusive line.
>>
>>83716323
Obviously Air Force in DC universe works differently. 6 months basic training and into that plane you go, pilot!
>>
>>83720469
I think the exclusivity has ended or will end soon? I know Katana is getting an SDCC exclusive doll through Mattel

but yeah somebody from WB says the line is doing really well and they're probably going to expand it soon
>>
>>83698249
Arent they children?
>>
>>83718902
My guess for the second wave is Katana, Cheetah, Catwoman and Hawkgirl as basic dolls, with a 2pack of Star Sapphire and Hal.
This is partially because I desperately want a Hal doll, yes, but also because it would be in line with Mattel's release stradegy with both Monster High and Ever After High.
>>
>>83720517
Yeah, I think it's already ending. I hope they expand the line dramatically.

The thing is though that it's sort of a weird toyline in that every character gets two toys- an 11'' one with fabric clothes and hair and a 6'' "action figure" that's all plastic. Which probably explains why they're only doing six at a time.

Apparently the intent is for the line to be popular with both genders. My store hasn't done it but apparently they're supposed to be stocked on endcaps, since boys won't go down the pink aisle.
>>
>>83720414
>Like who?
>>83712513
>>
>>83720648
Hawkgirl and Big Barda are already in it, Supergirl is there so they don't need Power Girl, Zatanna and Livewire aren't nearly as popular as Ivy or Harley
>>
>>83720409
I'll add maybe they could have done Artemis from YJ. It seems like they used her design on an archer in this (colored red though so it's likely just a Speedy). Her and Ms Martian are the only characters I can think of that might be popular with kids right now at least. And I don't have info on how their toys might have done (if they existed) besides the generally believed rumor of the show's merchandise generally underperforming, so it might be the same situation as GL where it's seen as too risky.

Someone asked Johns about Mera on twitter and he suggested she would be in a later wave but she's not in any of the show's shots so I guess she just didn't make this initial cut (maybe she gets a push when the Aquaman movie is coming out). We generally don't know which characters they might have focus tested with the children anyway if they did try other green ones. Ivy does seem most obvious if you need a popular one one and can't do a GL.
>>
>>83720636
I noticed both Targets near me doing endcaps (and last time I looked all the fashion dolls were gone except some Bumblebees), but that's a good idea

I know they're planning on a shit ton of merchandise for girls but aiming the toys towards girls while keeping them accessible to boys is a good idea
>>
>>83720361
>Reason other than 'They're popular.'
You are a pleb.
Why does Mattel/WB do anything? Because they think they can make a quick buck on it's popular. Why make Monster High because movie/mythic monster are a draw. Same with Ever After High and it will be the same with this DC Super Hero Girls property. In contrast, to BvS large action toys the DCSHG dolls sell out compared to the 12 inch BvS shit which you can't seem to give away. Let alone the dozens of movie batman in that goofy armor that just shelf warm.
>>
>>83720701
Why not make Harley and Ivy main villains then?
>>
>>83720648
The only one of those that would make sense and is still missing is Zatanna. They only just now started doing Supergirl storylines. Pushing for Peeg already doesn't work.

>reminder that Supergirl could have gone to Korugar Academy and choose this shitty Waller high school instead

Sinestro when
>>
>>83720568
I want Cheetah and Frost the most. Cheetah's definitely in but I think Frost will get pushed back to the third wave at best. She's shown up with Flash so they might get packed together.

I also really like how this is one of the best Cheetahs in DC media. She's a glorious bitch

>>83720679
They've only done merchandise for the six main girls (sorry Katana) so far anyway, they might intend to add more down the line once they've gotten into second and third waves

so far I don't think there's been too many added characters outside of the ones from the web series, but the one hour special did have the Female Furies
>>
>>83720679
Poison Ivy also has the advantage of a unified theme. "She likes nature and controls plants" is a very easy thing to understand. With someone like Artemis, for example, you'd have to work a bit harder to convey who she is.

That's also why the rainbow horses, for example, all only have one personality trait.

If Gorilla Grodd can be a teacher why not Sinestro

>>83720757
the only villain aside from the Furies so far is Cheetah and she's just a bitch, not actually a villain

they probably wanted to actually use Harley and Ivy a lot, not just every so often as antagonists
>>
>>83720757
Maybe they will be in the long run, maybe they won't. In one short Ivy had some plant monsters attacking people. But one woman from Mattel said that the children they focus tested with generally preferred for villains to be redeemed and become friends with the heroes rather than to die or get locked up. So that explains that I guess if you can't get over just the different universes idea.

>>83720812
Yeah she had a baby in Titans Hunt and will be joining the Titans book in a few months based on the covers at least.
>>

I know when I was a kid I always liked villain characters, and when they got locked up you didn't get to see them anymore. When heroes teamed up with villains it was always exciting, especially if they got to stay a team.

Harley sells a lot. Second highest solo after Batman. Ivy's mini doesn't do amazing, but it settled out to a healthy point. I also think she is more villainous there than heroic though.
