Lastly from Lagomorph is their offering of a DC Direct wave that has been sadly neglected thus far: The Doom Patrol features the expanded Patrol, with not one but three special boxed figures. Because DC Direct's motto is: " God forfend they might have accessories."

First, of course, is the Chief. Niles Caulder is one of the world's most brilliant people and hand-assembled the original Doom Patrol. He comes with a wheelchair because they had to include it. DC Direct wanted it to be fused to him, much like their Oracle, but Lagomorph has sneakily arranged to allow you to pull the Chief away from it. Of course, they also made it so if you do that, he can't stand at all since his hips and knees have no friction to them. Just a little part of their dedication to you, the nitpicky end consumer.

The first boxed figure is Larry Trainor, the Negative Man. He's boxed so that they can include N-Man with him, since it would be just cruel for you to have to search on the pegs for the shortpacked "other" figure that is vital to having Negative Man in the first place. Of course, in strict accordance to DC Direct policy, the boxed sets are starting at $30 each. That's before they get off the loading dock, folks. Your milage and payment scales may vary.

Back to the clamshell-carded figures, we have Steve Dayton, maybe better known, maybe no, as Mento. He has a non-removable Mento helmet and an massive sense of superiority (also non-removable).

Naturally this leads us to our second boxed figure, Rita Farr, Elasti-Girl. Why is Rita boxed, you ask? Well, simply because she comes with a twelve-inch version of herself as well as a one-inch version. We'd like to see you clamshell those accessories, pal. Okay, so the one displayed at the Con didn't feature either of those, but Lagomorph says they're in the works. So we have no reason to doubt them. Despite the fact that they didn't even have this one finished.

Since we mentioned both Steve and Rita, we may as well pick up with their adopted son, Garfield Logan, here known as Beast Boy. He's also boxed because he comes with several bright green animals for him to turn into. We only had access to the tiger, wolverine, and lizard, but Lagomorph swears he will also come with an owl, a snake, a wolf, and " possibly a horse. Or an elephant. It all depends, really. Definitely something else as well. None of this 'one monkey' nonsense." Here's a special hint for you investors: Remember the New Teen Titans/X-Men crossover? Think about it, it was a while ago. Now do you remember? No? Well, anyway, in it, Beast Boy (then Changeling) meets Wolverine. Garfield mentions that Kitty told him Wolverine's name was Logan, like Changeling's own last name. He then proposes that they might be ... related! So be sure to buy three or four Beast Boys! It's like buying a Wolverine, and you definitely don't have enough of those! Wolverines always soar in price no matter what! Plus this Beast Boy comes with a wolverine! Coincidence? Lagomorph thinks so.

Finally, after that minor departure from our coverage, we have the last figure in this wave: Cliff Steele, Robotman! Robotman is packaged with shiny metal skin and a jutting jaw. Lagomorph tried but cannot include all the attitude Cliff needs to truly capture the spirit of Robotman, so they encourage the consumer to go out and find some themselves.
