I think our "Custom of the Week" may just get taller.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. Good for them! My Spock and Kirk are finally going to have decent legs again.

Wow...Classic TV Toys has exploded back on the map! Their even selling the KISS figures there. Now the other question... Are the 8 inch KISS figures using the CTVT bodies that gave us all the problems?

Unexpected and very cool! Be neat if they did 9-10 inch bodies. That's the scale I like!

The pic looks like it's got that odd pelvic tic that typical of the 8" CTVT bodies. Hope that is not the case!

Can't wait until folks start reviewing the quality of the 12" body for customs. I'm on the 12" Superhero train if that is the case. This might be a great crossover point for our Mego hobby if the format takes hold in the customs forum.

I wonder if CTVT intends to repro 12" scale superhero/generic boots, outfits, accessories, etc. something like multi colored Hero boots and outfits would likely be pretty popular.

Or even generic heads at 12" scale. Hmmmm.

Whoa, will these pins actually fit in the vintage 12" bodies too? If so, I'm definitely placing a big order of them. :yes:

I could not imagine them not doing it. :smile: I think within due time you will see an influx of 12" scale misc. grace their website. :smile:

I am stunned with this action from CTVT. And I mean that in a good way. I have been very hard on them for all of the **** poor quality issues they've had in the past but if they have fixed those problems I may turn into their biggest cheerleader considering the possibilities.

Along with the new KISS figures how cool would it be to see them re-re-release their original reproductions but with better quality bodies? Wow!

I too was hoping that with thier second chance at the Re-Mego market that CTVT would reissue thier past product with better quality. I actually read somewhere that they were going to re release the Mad Monsters at the end of 2011. Don't know what became of that but I would love to see them do the Mad Monsters again using the original Mego box art on the cards. Anyway, really looking forward to 8 inch KISS. A dream come true.
