    May 8 clue

    From FTC's Facebook page:

    Waiting for ‪#‎MMFTCNEWS‬ each week is a tall order, but you'll love what's set to be announced this Friday!

    ---
    Dunno. A set of tall (18") figures? A Wayne Foundation set? Any good guesses?

    The two key words are definitely "tall" and "set" (the latter so awkward in that sentence it has to be there for a reason). My wish would be an Apache Chief/Giganta two pack at 18", but I think that's too much to hope for. It appears a good fit would be the Wayne Foundation; that's one of the holy grails of Mego collecting, and would make a logical follow up to the Batcave. My only trepidation here would be: would FTC commit to a second, even larger playset before even seeing how the first one sells? Only other thing I could see is another 18" set of figures, like a wave 2 of the DC heroes (again, not sure if they'd do that until some sales are in for the first round). Perhaps 18" Batman '66, which has seen some discussion here on the boards?

      I'm thinking the 18" KISS figures. The way I understood it, those might go to TRU stores as well as online retailers.

        Tall, Order, Set

        Yeah, 18" KISS figures would be my guess.

        Another announcement that has no draw for me whatsoever.

          Although my first thought (Wishful Thinking) was a Super Friends Apache Chief 8" & 12"-or-18" Set, a Giganta 8" & 12v-or-18" Set, or any combination of Apache Chief vs Giganta (pleaseFTC give SF Giganta & WW rooted hair!), I knew this was dreaming. Then I saw my friend ScottMetz also immediately wished 4 this as well, but then reality set in, something I personally have NO Interest in (but I am sincerely happy 4 Kiss FTC fans!).....

          It'll be 18" KISS, because they are tall, a SET of 4 figures, of characters who perform "SETS" of classic Rock'N'Roll!

          But a WAYNE FOUNDATION would make me squeal like a giddy school girl, until I get my boxers in a bunch when I hear the price tag! Then I better start being nice & helpful before I start hinting I want one. Its one of those things I'll DEFINITELY want.....but not with my very limited income. Thank goodness I have sulking & whining down to a science! Sometimes being a grown man child gets you toys! I LOVE TOYS! But I REALLY LOVE TOYS that are bought for me! Makes them so much FUNNER!

            Can we start seeing some stuff instead of all these announcements? Seems to me they used the WGSH to lure us all in to buy the 66 line and the other licenses they are acquiring. Which is fine, but give us what we were promised too, not just re-re-re-packaging of the same stuff!!

              The Wayne Foundation would be great! I don't remember even hearing about it as a kid, only after I became an adult and started getting back into the Mego toys.

              I am afraid of the price tag though!

              I'm also afraid of what my friends and family would say after they see basically a large dollhouse in my "man cave". LOL

                This is 18" figures for sure! to early for the Jumbo worlds greatest to be out... right? So I would guess Kiss as well

                also I doubt we see a Wayne Foundation - unless they have some real good sales on the Batcave first.

                        I hope you are correct, this would mean we will get to see some actual product!

                          I have an inside scoop:
                          18" Waltons are being introduced tomorrow. Try to stay calm.

                            They just added a new clue on Facebook where they used the words "Hooligan" and "Rock".
                            It's going to be the 18 inch KISS Love Gun figures.
                            If the price is decent, I'll buy them.
