      We're not even halfway through the year, I'd assume that means 3rd quarter.

      Surprises are usually fun.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

        I wonder what Jane will be like.

        Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

          Likely Q3 at earliest, especially since we haven't seen any pics yet.

            Tarzan and Conan always seemed like 'Marvel' figures to me, so those plus the EMCE Spidey will be fun.

              ^I've always had this feeling she'd be the FTC generic blonde female with a polysuede dress. Hopefully with a better seamstress than OMBC Mada.

              I'd love to see a Leopard Man, Clayton, Queen La of Opar, and Korak.

                Queen La would be awesome. But only if the head sculpt looks like a woman and not a child's doll. No Mego Batgirl / Wonder Woman / Supergirl style heads please.

                  I'd love to see a Leopard Man figure from the old Weismuller film. The wore leopard pelts and used the claws to attack people.

                  I know the film TArzan isn't not the license FTC has, but a character wearing a big cat pelt would look cool or maybe silly, depending on you view the photo, lol. I loved that movie as a kid.

                    Queen La of Opar had devolved ape men as her subjects. They'd make some great figures too.

                      I hope the Tarzan figure isn't just a Repro of the MEGO figure.

                        That's what they are showing on the website.

                          I have no idea what the ERB product license entails. I'd love toys made from all weird 'Tarzan' characters made through TrendMasters.
                          Trendmasters made the Leopard men, but also had tones of weird critters.
                          The John Carter & At the Earth's Core stuff would make amazing armored mego figures.
                          Not that this would actually happen, but that is the sort thing I am totally into.

                          Long lost forgotten TRENDMASTERS Tarzan Epic Adventures At the Earth's Core TV Commercial. You may not have liked this toy line, but it was still an importan...
                          Cheers,

                            That's the whole point of the line, to give us the original Megos plus the figures that should have been made.
