So true. Us old-timers are always looking for the next chapter, not just the same verse. Hopefully that will come if these sell well.

I am really interested in how they do this, are they straight reproductions of CAH? The words "Comic Action" are sprinkled in the description (although the brand now belongs to ZICA).

Anyway, this will be fun to see. With 3 3/4" stuff, the card art has to be killer, so hopefully some style guide support is present.

WOW!!! I’m excited about these! Fingers crossed!

Wow, didn't expect that. I kind of assumed Funko or Mattel already had the rights. Interested to see what they do with it.

Wow. The DC license is rocking this year. This will be VERY interesting to watch. Can't wait to see how they look and what the price points are. Love Brian's tribute to Karate toys. Nicely done. And the auction samples are always a treat to read over. Great work guys!

It's nice to see DC merch again, but I wish there was more of it at retail. It seems like the bulk of DC collectibles are from smaller guys who aren't in the major retail space (DC Collectibles, Figures Toy Company, etc.). And I barely find new Mattel DC Multiverse figures in the wild anymore.

But, back on a positive note, I can't wait to see what these look like. I would pull Batman's head off so he could become Bruce Wayne. A headless Batman was my Bruce Wayne... LOL!

Oh I would die for bent legs Comic Action Heroes, but either way, I’m over the moon with this.

Now they’ve got me right where I want them.

Mattel's distribution is horrible. The company that makes Hot Wheels and Barbie can't get product out any better than this? I think their inventory system is part of the problem. Stores keep old waves in perpetuity because they can't tell the difference between it and new assortments. Our local stores have been choked up with the Supergirl/Dark Knight wave for two years now.

[Werewolf]

Yay! Pocket Heroes are back! That is exciting news.

I love that story. That's the magic of the imagination we as kids had back then. Hey, you work with what you got and let the mind fill in the rest.

Pocket Heroes are coming back? Oh my goodness! I can't wait!

Kind of surprised, because Funko has put out a few retro 3 3/4 DC characters in their collector's club over the past year or so (1st Appearance Superman and The New Teen Titans) so I assumed they were gearing up to do a line like this. But I'm super excited... I love the original Comic Action Heroes and Pocket Heroes, it will be great to get some clean minty repros, or even better, previously unreleased characters.

Hopefully the price will be decent. I've been buying less and less FTC figures since their prices have gone up to $30. At those prices it makes more sense to me to focus on filling in the gaps in my vintage figure collection. But if these new Pocket Heroes are reasonably priced, FTC will probably hook me back in.

I never collected 3 3/4 Superheroes but I might give these a try, depending on the price. Very cool they got the rights to make them.

[CrimsonGhost]

Curious. I wonder if they're going to be repros of the pocket heroes, something with more articulation like the Dukes and Buck Rogers, or a new, different animal?

[PNGwynne]

This is great news!! I'm curious about the figure style and price point.

[Remco Monster]

Very excited about the 3 3/4” figures AND the recently announced 12” figures. Can’t wait to see them all!
