        I am guessing if FTC is making Scooby Doo, Wonder Dog may be a predictable surprise.

          Not the greatest translation to 3D, but not bad. Going with molded hair for Wendy is fine, but it should have been easier to get it on model, and it's not; it's too flat. It also makes the decision to go with rooted hair for Wonder Woman a bit dubious. Maybe we will see a molded hair WW down the line, but I doubt it since it would require additional tooling.

                I second THAT emotion----just the best Mego-style "retro tribute" figures to be released since the resurgence----the EPITOME of nostalgia in his genre IMHO.

                  FTC has really done a great job on the Superfriends. But I have to say it is odd they they left Wonder Dog out of the Wendy & Marvin set because I can't see him being sold as a singular piece. Surely they wouldn't stoop to making Wonder Dog a specialty, exclusive item. I hope not.

                    I'm wondering about that, too.

                    It seems to me, as others have suggested, that Wonder Dog (and Dynomutt, too) could make use of tooling from Scooby-Doo. Perhaps it wasn't ready for this release, but them when. They did such a great job with Gleek, I hope characters like Wonder Dog, Dynomutt, and Bandit aren't abandoned.
                    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                      I'd have hard time buying Jonny Quest if Bandit gets left out. They really need some villains, too.

                          No villains doesn't bother me too much, but I like complete groups, especially small groups like duos or trips. Mattel made a big mistake offering Gleek as a Con exclusive only. Thank goodness for the bootlegs that came out a year or so later.

                          I am sure FTC will get to Wonderdog, somehow. With Scooby coming out, Wonderdog and Dynomutt seem like givens, although Wonderdog's body type my be a little off.

                            Seems to me that it's coming, but they don't have the body done yet. As others have mentioned, lots of figures will use that body so it's just a matter of time. If they made Gleek, who has little to no reuse, they'll make the dogs.

                              I hadnt noticed the nice fabric choices they used for these two. I like the additional texture instead of the flat fabric. Nice work.

                                Gleek can be recycled for Blip.
