I am hyper-allergic to the word "toy," so I use "figurine" loosely. I guess "action figure" is okay middle ground, I guess. Thanks for the slightly therapeutic comment. @ Max

Fine. I am hyper-allergic to the word “toy,” so I use “figurine” loosely. I guess “action figure” is okay middle ground, I guess. Thanks for the slightly therapeutic comment.

They're just bulking up the figure line to coincide with the release of the movie, it likely means nothing more than that.

However, I also don't follow DC very closely, so that's probably why. Also, though, this wouldn't be the first instance of Marvel "borrowing" from DC, or vice versa.

First, Hunter, if you're going to be writing about clues at toyfair leading to a possible cameo in an upcoming superhero movie, I'm not going to hesitate to split hairs in your use of the word "figurine." A figurine is like a small statue, whereas an action figure is articulated and probably shoots missiles. Get it right, get it tight. You got nerds reading. Second, I think it's bizarre that nobody's mentioned the connection between Deathstroke and Deadpool. Deadpool was made in something of an homage to Deathstroke, from what I gather. Both of the characters are mercenaries with enhanced healing abilities, known to wield swords and drape themselves in ammo belts and bandoleers. Just looking at the characters, you can see a similiarity... But hey, that could be coincidence, right? Yeah, except Deadpool and Deathstroke's real names are Wade Wilson and Slade Wilson, respectively. Deadpool's been my favorite superhero since 3rd grade, but even I've gotta shake my head at the lack of originality. Just thought I'd throw that out there for the folks who've got better things to do than read comics all day. (And I wonder why I haven't gotten laid in a while...) Couple things.

Its interesting to say the least. Toys never make it a sure thing that it will be in the movie as others mentioned but it could still be possible. Deadshot is in the Batman anime, not Deathstroke.

I'd have to go with Deathstroke, simply because if you know Deadpool's backstory, his name actually carries quite a nifty meaning.
