    FTC needs to bring back Comic Action Heroes

    I'll keep banging this drum till they say no. Most of the best playsets Mego ever made came from the CAH line, would LOVE to see FTC do them.

    I second this! I'd be all over these in a heartbeat...plus, they'd be great for people with a little less space and money. Just think of all the new characters they could do. In keeping with the originals, details like eyes and such wouldn't even have to be painted.

        Id love to see it happen. Especially with all the 3.75" retro goodness thats springing up elsewhere. However, i would be willing to bet that DC/Marvel 3.75" action figures and playsets. ....no matter how retro....are completely off limits and most likely not even a remote possibility due to being in direct competition to some of Mattel/Hasbros existing lines

          Personally I'd rather see the Kenner Super Powers return. Call me paranoid but the 3&3/4 inch figures led to the kiss of death for the 8 inch format before and a s wide as the market is nowadays I would hate to see it happen again to over saturation of nostalgic product.

            I'd love to see the Pocket Heroes again, as well! I have a lot of very fond memories of those guys and everything else that went along with them.

            Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you read?

              Count me in too, and I am not even a big fan of the scale! But I loved my Batman, Robin and Batmobile.

              Jim, Funko is churning out their ReAction line of retro 3-3/4" Kenner style figures. Yet, FTC is starting to see some of their products move very quickly, both through them and retailers, so I think this 8" ReMego is safe from that scale this time

                It's likely a pipedream for them to revitalize the CAH figures and there could be some license restriction but man that would extend the DC license for FTC for at least 1-2 more years.

                I just don't think the 3 'figures' for $80 approach is going to work with the Marvel figures, but the more figures FTC sells, the more doors it opens for at least the DC characters.

                  I don't think it will happen either, especially with Mattel having their own line at that scale, but Mattel seems more flexible than Hasbro, or DC/WB has a much more favorable license deal with Mattel. I think it is the latter.

                    I would be in for these.

                    Bold adventure is his game.
