    FTC needs to make rest of 70s/80s Classic CBS Friday night TV shows!

    OK, from 70s/80s Classic CBS Friday night TV shows FTC has made 2 12" Dallas JR Ewing figures and Dukes of Hazzard Series 1 and 2 8" and 12" figures!

    Now we need Lynda Carter Wonder Woman and Lou Ferigno/Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk if FTC ever gets Marvel license ANY scale!

    1978

    Wonder Woman
    Incredible Hulk
    Dallas

    1979

    Dukes of Hazzard
    Incredible Hulk
    Dallas

    1982

    Dukes of Hazzard
    Dallas
    Falcon Crest- *watched it but can do without figures!

    I once heard NBC placed Diff'rent Strokes against Wonder Woman on Friday and hurt WW in ratings. CBS moved WW to Wednesday I believe in 1979 but WW was cancelled that year! RATS! I liked Diff'rent Strokes but hate it put WW off TV! Likewise I loved Incredible Hulk but it got to continue a few more seasons and not WW?!

    Would love to eventually display all my favorite childhood Friday night TV characters together Mego style!

      Doing Falcon Crest or even Dallas would be difficult without having someone willing to put a lot of time and effort into the female characters and even fashion. And so far, female characters seem to be taking a back seat... WAY back.

      I do think it is time for the female characters to take more of a role in FTC's plans.

      Time to bring in the 66 versions of Batgirl and Catwoman as well as the ever recurring theme of a much improved Wonder Woman!

          What about the "Love Boat" they never made 8 inch figures of those and I believe the cast members are
          all still living, plus it was popular in it's day with all the guest stars and I see reruns on tv all the time.

          Not saying that FTC would have to make 12 inch versions, but 8 inch versions would be fine,
          Captain-Doc-Gopher and Issac at least those 4 would be fine, if they sell then they can do the gals, Julie and Vickie.

              I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are there NO Lynda Carter Wonder Woman and Lou Ferigno HULK figures? I understand the Marvel license issue but they have DC. Instead you get FTC Gilligan's Island and Scooby Doo which I don't care for. I don't know how they plan on selling Gilligan's Island because that hasn't had any steam since maybe the 70s? Some properties can make you money and some will eventually collect dust. Its nice to see the Dukes Of Hazard and other lines that were always a HIT with young kids and older folks. I don't get Dallas and Falcon Crest being important enough to command figures. I think fans would rather have HR Pufnstuff, Knight Rider or Hanna Barbera cartoon figures.

                  I'm sure I'm in the minority here but a complete line of 8"Dallas figures? SOLD! They would become the centerpiece of my collection. The 6" female body would work great for short and sassy Lucy. Sadly, I doubt it will ever happen. A guy can dream.

                    Speaking of Dallas I hope Pam wakes up one day and tells Bobby she dream Kenner got the Star Wars license instead of Mego! Still 1978 when Dallas started Bobby reassures Pam it was just a dream and Mego 8" Star Wars figures have started hitting stores!

                        I still believe Night Stalker is a viable property. That would be great.

                          I was just thinking that when I read the thread title.

                          The Rakasasha could change into any of the figures!

                          If thinking Love Boat, we need Khaos members, Sigfried and Get Smart 86.

                          Not sure what channel the shows were on.

                          ___

                          To go further, I'm up for a Mego style Lovejoy, Jim West and others.

                          I'm surprised some convention guests don't commission a short run line of themselves.

                          After watching youtube old toy commercials, some of the Mego series of vehicles
                          would fit well for The Walking Dead. Such as the big RV.

                          Do we have a batch of various zombies on card yet?

                            8 inch Dallas is one of my dream lines. Kolchak too. Maybe someday they will really happen. If only those 12 inch FTC JRs were 8 inch ...
