    10549957_742886255753364_8477347494964057396_o.jpgWell I certainly like/love the idea!
    I had one of these back in the day and like an idiot I sold it. It had the normal chest.

    Lucky a few years ago I was able to grab another one (The one you see in the picture here) Which has the red chest/Torso) I never checked but Ben Holcombe mentioned mine might have glow in the dark hands - I'm going to look tonight! lol.

    The only issue I see with this exclusive is the price. Keep in mind I'm all for the variations - if you like them buy them - if not pass. CTV sells card backers now, and the suits - you can make 2 of these for far cheaper then the 70.00 - the only difference is it won't have the sticker on it. I really like the idea - But I just think the price is a little off on this one -I wish you luck in selling them - 100 is only a small amount so you should easily sell out of them. But again - I really like the idea.

      Great idea - I had a chance to buy 1 of those originals a few years back - really kicking myself that I did not.
      By any chance does anyone have a picture of the one with the Trek Legs. I recall one on ebay like 3 years ago. Was listed a few times before it sold. Would love to see pics of 1 again since that may have been the last time I saw it. Was great with the Trek legs bulging out of Fish Boys pants / suit

        It's very specific and kind of meta but not out of character, there is a Mego fan at the wheel of that bus.

          Seems like a neat variant, although I'm not sure I'm interested in one myself.
          I'm hoping we eventually get a retro-carded light blue card Wonder Woman (to match the recently released retro-carded figures), as well as a retro-Kresge RC Batman and a blue-leggings Catwoman.

            interesting to see the lighter/medium blue batman gloves on aquaman (not the current standard, darker blue ones now set by FTC Batman product)

              For those wanting to take the items out of the package to see if theirs came with the glow in the dark hands, I have some extra ties I can send at no charge. Just let me know!

                  What I'd really like to see would be a bearded Aquaman using the Little John head with yellow hair. They could use the Justice League costume.

                  For extra punch, they could just use the green tights and belt and throw in some armor pieces from the Knights line and add a green cape! Maybe even replace one hand with a hook from the Pirates line.

                    Those are all pretty cool ideas.

                      And all with pieces that they already have the patterns/molds for. No new molds and no sizing issues!

                          Be nice if someone on here gets the glow in the dark hands. It sure won't be me, I only want the Superman card one.

                                Thank you for supporting the little guy. The toy business is fun, but it runs on increasingly smaller margins. We are busier than ever and making what we did 7 years ago. But we will keep doing it as long as we can!
