Blue Beetle and Charlton charectors ?

[wise guy]

Does FTC have the rights to make a wave of Charlton charectors similar to the Shazam family ?
Blue Beetle , Capt. Atom , and the Question would be a good start

I would think they do; DC now owns the rights to the Charlton characters except Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt. They also own Plastic Man and the Freedom Fighters. And doesn't FTC have a comprehensive DC license?

I emailed them once and asked about Blue Beetle, Dr Fate and the Spectre and the reply was 'possibly Dr Fate.' I am sure it could always change, but that was the reply a couple months ago.

I'd be interested in a Blue Beetle figure if it were based on the Steve Ditko version.

Not to high-jack the thread, but Dr. Fate would be great! I remember Fate was one of the ones that Doc Mego had announced for the last wave of the "Retro Dc Superheroes" before they were cancelled. I think Doc hinted that a sculpted head existed, but I have heard nothing else.

I'd love a Ditko Blue Beetle, too.

A Steve Ditko vintage wave would be great!!!! Question, Captain Atom(costume variant gold and red, or blue red and other colors) Blue Beetle variant, original blue beetle, Night shade! Holy Mego I'd buy two of each! If only the ** that float all around could translate to the physical world.

Hadn't heard about Peter Cannon; did they somehow lose the rights? He did have a DC comic, though short lived.

If they did the Charlton characters, I do imagine they'd be the DC versions. Even Mattel, though they made two versions of Captain Atom, didn't do the Charlton look. It would seem appropriate, though, if they could; those were the versions out of the stands around the Mego era.
