They're planning Harry Potter??

[megodarryl]

At the bottom of the home page, after the company history, they include Harry Potter in their list. I'm not a huge HP fan, but I'd love to see how they handle these.

Don't see anything myself, got a link?

[megodarryl]

I still haven't learned how to post pics or links- but it's in the fine print, at the bottom of the CTVT page

Ok, found it - interesting. Here is the quote.

"Classic Tv Toys started making retro MEGO type 8 inch action figures in 2005. The Lines included Mad Monsters, Happy Days, Space 1999, Married with Children and Mad Clowns. Also introduced were Worlds Greatest lines of Robin Hood, Super Pirates, American West and Super Knights. We currently specialize 8 inch Retro Mego Batman, Batman 1966 TV Series, DC Comics, KISS, Harry Potter, Three Stooges, Tarzan, Conan, Evel Knievel, Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas Jr Ewing. We also have custom 8 inch bodies, boots, outfits and accessories for 8 inch Mego-type action figures.

This will be a LOT of fun!

Hopefully they will fix their humongo noggin problem by the time the figs come out next year.

[plaztekman]

I hope they're 6in.

Yeah, I noticed that sometime last year when the Batman figures were first announced. But FTC has Been silent.

Maybe that's the line mickeymoose was suggesting in another thread. I know Potter is out of the main demographic of this forum, but there are a ton of Potter fans out there that might get interested in other 1/9 or 8" scale figures if they like the Potter figures. The more fans the more possible sales.

Personally, I like the books a lot and would buy many characters if they are done well. But for them to go over with Potter fans, the figures will have to look better than the RE Howard and Burroughs figures, imo.

I'd like to see the three main characters, Dumbledore, Voldermort and Snape.

Also would love to see 8" scale Lord of the Rings and Hobbit figures.

[JediJaida]

Me too.

Nope that's not the one I was speaking of..but get ready for more Movie inspired lines and one very big one you'll love. And yes way bigger than Harry Potter.

[JediJaida]

BIGGER than Harry Potter??? Let me see, that could be anything from the Avengers, to Thor, to Guardians of the Galaxy, to Iron Man I, II, and III to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to whatever else is coming out.

STAR WARS!

Maybe like Hot Toys FTC worked a deal with Disney for NEW Star Wars movies 2015 and beyond and Original Trilogy and Prequels! Hot Toys has 12" figures and FTC can have 8"!

Mickey, when will FTC start announcing these NEW licenses?

[TRDouble]

I was thinking Star Wars too. Which if that does come to pass, makes you wonder how FTC missed on Marvel and/or why DST & EMCE are being punished with the licensing restrictions they were given with Marvel ReMegos. It's not like Star Wars doesn't have enough lines -- 3.75", 6" Legends style, 1/6 Scale, etc.

But again, all those are questions to ask IF the new big movie license is Star Wars. And as much as I loved Lord of the Rings, has there been a bigger movie of this type besides Star Wars? I'm not sure I would put LOTR above Harry Potter. Certainly not way bigger.

[Brown Bear]

Harry Potter is a smart move to bring in some younger collectors to the mego world instead of us old farts. LOL
