    18-Inch Format... Why?

    I thought it was a typo when I read that. Who even wanted that scale... I can't imagine a huge demand for it. And they're probably going to be priced at $150 - $200 a pop which severely limits the number of people who can afford to collect them. Seriously. Why?

    I'm worried that FTC is biting off more than it can chew. I don't know how well the 12-Inch format figures are selling for them (ie, KISS) but unless its big numbers the company should stick with the 8-inch format IMO. I just don't want to see them implode.

    So TBolt can make a Giant-man figure.

          I say go for it. I'm sure it will only be for big deal characters, like Batman and Superman, and there are plenty of people out there who would buy those.

            If it's a an "exact" Mego reproduction I would love Superman, Batman and Robin.

                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                        Well, if girls can have American Girl dolls, why can't boys have 18" action figures?

                        'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                        Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                            Actually some companies do make 18 inch boy dolls, just not the American Girl company. And many people make their own boy dolls from used American Girl dolls and boy wigs. I have a custom made Our Generation boy doll, I got from Etsy last year.

                              just wondering, Mrs. TBolt has yet to run across any at the stores. In her sales, that format seems to be dying off and CPK and baby dolls are picking up steam.
