I'm wondering who the one after that will be. Axel? James? A new villain? (who we know is coming)

...I don't dare get my hopes up for the Top.

Or Boomer, I think it's the issue after the Renegade arc when they do a spotlight on him.

Yes, although the way it was phrased suggests there will be another one after Mark's, and Digger's will be before Mark's. However I wasn't there myself, and the phrasing is based on what other people reported, so it could be misleading. We'll see, I guess.

Awwww...cute figure of Digger there!

Cool news, thanks for posting.

I want like half of those figures, which is going to be tricky since most of that line (so far) has never made it to Canada. But maybe distribution will change now that the focus of the line is changing.

What an excellent development. As he's my favorite, I was always disappointed that Mark never got his own spotlight in v2.

I'm curious as to who the other profile would be on. My guess is Axel but I'm never right.

You and a whole bunch of other people...Mark was an odd omission from Johns' last run. JJ too.

Probably Axel, yeah, although I'm not sure he has the history to fill one.

Plus, during Rogue War, one of the prologues had some stuff on him with him narrating in comment boxes so I don't know if they'd do a whole issue.

I'm hoping it'll be JJ or one of the deceased Rogues (Scudder was shown in Rebirth so maybe him?) Or Owen even though I don't trust Johns with him even if he's brought back.

Also the Digger figure: does these mean the Diamond/DC Direct isn't releasing one of him with the rest of the BD figures or is this in addition to that? Because I'd defo want a Digger to go along with the scant amount of Rogues figures I have.

The Top is overdue for a spotlight, but he'll never get one. Scudder won't either, as DC wouldn't want him to (somehow) become more popular than McCulloch.

A BD Digger figure hasn't been announced yet, but this Action League figure won't have any effect on that. They're totally separate lines and companies, so don't worry (although there's no guarantee there *will* be a Digger in the BD line).

I´m half excited for the issue, and am half-dreading it.
I just feel the retcon coming up...but I´d love to hear more about his backstory and maybe we finally learned what happened to Josh.
(I just fear that they make the Cain-thing canon)

That digger figure looks...it may be the perspective, but the hands look kinda weird.

I´m very excited for Speedforce - more speedsters!

I don't doubt we'll see the Clyde-killing in the issue -- I think Rogues' Revenge made it canon already :\ What would be nice, though, is if we see some early background between Clyde and Mark.

The hands and feet are indeed all oversized on the Action League figures (I have a few). It's part of their stylistic trademark. You can see a few here, including the Top:
