Oh this is a good day for me. I LURVS ME SOME SWAMP THING.

I just pray they don't screw it up somehow.

I'm definitely skeptical at this point as to how they can pull it off satisfactorily. We shall see.

Awesome news, I love Swampy, but am curious to see how they will pull this off.

This is really cool and I hope we get Deadman too

And John Constantine! Oh, and Phantom Stranger!

I'm picturing a naked Martian Manhunter with brown yarn glued to his body...LOL

[Gadgeteer]

Yes! Swamp Thing!

For me, FTC is definitely hit or miss. I liked they way they pulled off the Grodd and Grundy figures for the Superfriends line, so I have hope that they can do Swampy some justice.
They would need an Anton figure or perhaps Sunderland, and the line would be remiss without Abbie, tho that is the character that I would worry the most about FTC doing well. I would hate to see Abby done as poorly as the poison ivy figure. Constantine would definitely be a great add in to this line, tho I could also see them having a pre-accident Alec.

Abby in the house

I'm thinking Constantine will be a lock with him joining Legends.

I'd be perfectly happy with an olive bodysuit with brown vines and green foliage appliques. But it seems to me that the body should be like one of DM's tall "Hulk" bodies, as for Brock Samson.

I'd love an Arcane and Alec Holland to go with Abbey. But what is considered Arcane's classic Bronze depiction? Sinister codger in a smoking jacket?

The Floronic Man or Deadman would suit me as a fourth character.

[SWDAVE]

Cannot wait to see pictures of Swamp Thing!!

Is Black Orchid considered to be part of the Swamp Thing universe these days, or is that too far off the mark?
And how would they even make her, if she was in her purple body form?
Recreating her "hair" would be pretty impossible without lots of gel...

^ The Bronze-Age Black Orchid (and the New 52 version is similar) would be easy to do with a cowled head and screened suit and cape-wings. It's a Mego I've wanted for years.

Re: Bronze Age:
I'm always inspired by online sources of quality cosplays and other great customs (like Rodkeith 's figures). Man, yeah, an FTC Black Orchid would be really awesome !

Thanks for posting that cosplay, I've long admired it. I think it's fantastic!
