Black Lightning or Black Vulcan?

[samurainoir]

Who should Mattel make?

Superfriends...


or would you like to see Tony Isabella finally get the royalties he deserves?


Keeping in mind that Vulcan was a thinly disguised Lightning.

Bonus Question: Should Black Lightning come with a removable afro-wig, like his comic book counterpart?

[exoduschj]

Black Lightning, without a doubt! I would prefer him in the new costume he's been wearing in Justice League in recent issues.

[Mego Milk]

Vulcan.

[jasonmego1277]

Vulcan without a doubt.

[thunderbolt]

Vulcan, complete with Shorty shorts

I guess Black Vulcan so we can talk about "The lightning. In his pants."

[huedell]

I think they are equally perfect for this retro line. Both their suits are exciting
and both represent the Mego time period spectacularly.

I had both made custom-wise...and now FALCON isn't
"Mego's black superhero (singular)" (remember that commercial?)....
at least not on my shelf anyway. 8)

[The Bat]

Man...I hope Mattel doesn't waste time making Characters like them.

"Characters like them"?

More specific? I'm curious.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I don't know either of these characters but I love black figures and would be very happy to see more of them.

[Raydeen1]

BOTH!
I grew up on Superfriends and I'll take all the SF figures they want to make.

Black Lightning has been on my custom "to do" list for years. I have this same comic and he was always a welcome addition to my DC comics collection. It MUST be this incarnation of him and they could do Tobias Whale in a Pengy body as his villain!

I won't speak for The Bat, but can I try to nicely salvage this by saying that Vulcan and Lightning are a bit more obscure characters compared to say Cyborg... who's been a mainstay in the DC comics Titans for two decades now, not to mention Superfriends, Smallville, Animated Teen Titans, Super Powers Action Figure, and a Truckload of Bandai Toys in recent years?

Do you guys think that a Cyborg figure would make a good Mego and perhaps be more commercially viable as a Mattel product?


Which version of Vic would you want to see? As much as a Perez fan as I am, I don't think the "garters" look would work... even if they did cloth to denote the exposed parts of the arms and legs ala Tarzan or Wonder Woman.

Super Volt!

[The Toyroom]

Black Lightning, no doubt....Black Vulcan is just a disgrace. BL has one of the more iconic costumes of the 70s IMO. And I think the removable 'fro idea is pretty cool.

And as for Tony Isabella getting the royalties he finally deserves, DC Direct has already done a 70s BL as part of its History of the DC Universe line....

Black Vulcan Baby!!
