    Figures DC license also includes cartoons but NOT movies or live action TV shows

    Figures emailed me back and said its DC license also includes cartoons like Super Friends but NOT movies or live action TV shows.

    Good news for Super Friends, guess we'll wait and see about Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter.

    Hoping for Bruce Timm DC cartoons Batman and JLU!

    Yeah they probably give the movie toy merchandising to Mattel, Kenner, Hasbro, etc to create mass market merchandising.

      It's a actor's likeness issue.

      WB would have to start paying Lynda Carter, or Figures would have to sign a separate deal with her. Same thing with Reeves estate.

      WB has no interest because they're trying to make new actors the faces associated with the characters.

          So could we get Shazam! toys from the Kid Power Hour series?

          Also interested in figures based on literary characters.

            It's sorta like the Batman '66 license. It's just more complicated when someones likeness becomes involved. Hopefully some time in the future a deal can be made. I hope so.

            Good news on the animated versions though. I wonder if this includes the Hanna-Barbara properties?

            Filmation versions of characters as well (like Isis)?

              In that case, I'm rooting for the SuperFriends all the way. So I say, bring on the Wonder Twins!! Bring on the ethnic SuperFriends! And bring on the Legion of Doom!!! Please let it happen!!

                    Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman from the "Planet of Oz" episode would be ridiculously cool.

                      How about the evil SuperFriends from the Universe of Evil episode? That would rock, or the SuperMonster Dr. Frankenstein created in "SuperFriends Meet Frankenstein".

                      I'd sooner have Black Vulcan and I would take the main version or the All New SuperFriends version with the long pants.

                        I put in for a order for some parts I needed at Figures Inc the other day, and at the end of the order it asked what new products you want to see at Figures Toy Company. I put in for Hanna-Barbera cartoon figures. Got my fingers crossed for these.

                            I'm hoping for a new version of Isis. I inquired, and the response was "We're working on it."

                            Hopefully, this one will actually LOOK like Joanna Cameron! LOL!

                              ^ So does that mean that they can do Filmation characters as well?

                              Wouldnt Super 7 be neat?
