    I also like the mattel Flash,and think its an interesting sculpt ,some superheros look a lot of like with different costumes ,i also look forward to the FTC
    Flash ,its going to be interesting to see how well he comes out to look like, because the mattel Flash was very good (in my opinion).same goes for
    Green lantern,and i thought his was a little plain-not much charactor.

      I really dig the Matty Flash as well. It's evocative of a streamlined classic Mego sculpt that they might have in later releases. The entire idea is that these fit nicely into the original Mego line right? Put him next to Captain America or Batman, as guys with cowls go in Mego format, he's much more than fine.

        I think Mattel Flash looks better now....to me at least (it's subjective Ya'll).


        ^^^ Nice job!

          Yep. I thought Flash had that Mego Batman mouth which lent that vintage feel to him.

            The Flash head was one of my favorites of the series. It was Lex that I didn't like. A bald Thor doesn't scream "Luthor" to me at all. But Flash fit right in with the mego-vibe.

              I did not like Matty Flash with his goofy face and turtleneck. Nor did I like Flattop Superman head or Aquaman hair combed wrong way or Sub-Mariner Black Adam. Others were all right.

                What a way to guilting kids into coughing up 12 cents.

                  I'm exactly the opposite. I thought the Lex sculpt was one of the strongest and Flash the weakest.

                    To answer the original question, we're working with FTC to put together regular updates. It's going to be a big year for WGH and more.

                        The Titans have me on board, but the new stuff is what's got me really excited. The 66 stuff, while not my cup of tea really sets the bar, and I expect good things.

                        Can't wait to see Nightwing and the new Robin.

                        Are you planning a Jason Todd Robin at any point? You'd be the very first to do it. We've gotten a few JT figures, but NEVER as Robin.

                          Jason Tood was pretty much drawn like Dick Grayson, except early on when he had red hair. So a red-headed Robin.

                            I'm probably the only guy who wants Jason in his original, proto-Robin costume. But I loved that design, and wish he'd kept it.

                              JT's hair was different. By the time Dick was retiring he had straighter hair. JT's was a bit wavier. My point is, a Dick Grayson is not a Jason Todd.

                                I had forgotten all about that costume. There's room on my shelf for that version for sure.
