I guess Dr.Doom,Doom 2099 and "secret identity" Victor Von Doom could be the three they use.

DST Marvel sets are dwindling down. In 2015 4 sets, 2016 3 sets, and in 2017 only Punisher so far. I think 2nd Deadpool set will be released in 2018 along with Deadpool movie sequel.
I wish DST had released as many Mego Marvel figures (singles not sets) as FTC has Mego DC figures. I like to have plenty to buy than too little.
How can DST Mego Marvel continue at this rate? 1 set a year?Comment

The reason people do so is understandable...there is simply no comparison between the number and variety of FTC DC releases vs. DST Marvel releases. The Marvel business model is ridiculously prohibitive and they are literally leaving money on the table. For as long as DST has been producing these sets we could've gotten what the fans REALLY want which are reissues of the entire Marvel lineup, as well as a couple DOZEN new characters by now. Instead they've produced what six or seven figures? That's pathetic compared to FTC's output. Yeah, FTC has had some quality issues and there are probably a dozen figures with big head syndrome but for crying out loud...they've given us so much it's not even funny.
I am holding out hope that FTC will eventually get the Marvel license. Somebody, somewhere with a lick of business sense will finally wake up. When they start cranking out Marvel figures on individual Kresge cards, I won't be able to get my wallet out fast enough. Til then, forget it.
My only complaint with EMCE/DST is character selection.My posts were needlessly deleted ...Comment

One figure a year is worse than another company trying to put out a lot more merchandise .
FTC would have given us the Capt. America corvette and Spidermobile . At the rate of one figure a year some of us will be in nursing homes before we get 20 marvel figures.Comment

When FTC reproduces the Arrowcar, I'll agree with you.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.Comment

I cannot believe Disney would let DST release only 1 set in 2017- Punisher and let DST hold onto license.
Disney must be pleased with Mezco One:12 Marvel and will give Mezco One:12 Star Wars before Disney will renew DST Mego Marvel.Comment

If I'm not mistaken, it would be Hasbro that could make 8 inch Mego style figures, but they choose not to.
Hence we have DST and EMCE working with a license that requires an $80 price tag.
That is the only way the two companies could put these out!
They cannot put out single figures at $30 a piece!
I'm happy with what they've put out so far.
It doesn't seem like it's been that long, and I don't lose sleep if they aren't making 3-4 a year.
And... who cares what Mezco puts out? I'm not interested in them, because they are not 8 inch figures.Comment

Someone remind me, does this board have an "ignore" feature so I shut out the teemus and ovenmitts of the world?Comment

I like the retro sets and Diamond has put out some really nice stuff ! It's just taking too long to get new figures and I'm hoping that they don't stop making them like Star Trek remegos. It would be cool if EMCE/DST could produce an 8" HotToys style Spiderman
or Ironman (I would pay 80.00)Comment

And FTC since it's Mego start in 2004 Munsters, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Mad Monsters, Robin Hood, Pirates, Knights, and Western. When FTC made a big comeback in 2013 I was thrilled they had master Mego DC license and 66 TV Batman and now Super Friends and Hanna Barbara! Yes I had same hopes for DST Mego Marvel but time will tell. NECA has made detailed Megos I have a few of.
I have collected Mezco One:12 since start, too all DC, Marvel, Star Trek, Frankenstein and Space Ghost. I consider Mezco a cross between Mego and Hot Toys. And Mezco DC remind me of the DC Direct 13" figures I collected especially Shazam so far.
$250 Sideshow and Hot Toys 12" figures are way out of my toy budget although I did buy SS 12" Universal Monsters and James Bond when they were only $40 each and $50 Star Wars.
Basically cloth costumed action figures are my favorite since 1972 Mego 8" WGSH when I was 2. So I can collect and enjoy retro Megos like FTC and Modern takes like Mezco One:12. The more the Better!
I agree with enyawd72 and Teemu!
BTW 6"-7" is my favorite all plastic action figure scale. I have collected DC Direct since 1999. And still buy DC Multiverse, Marvel Legends and Marvel Select and Star Wars Black!Last edited by ovenmitt; Sep 20, '17, 9:51 PM.Comment

I think when Lonnie started this thread, he was referring to 8inch outdated cheesy looking Superheroes.
Lonnie, I would like to see 3 outdated cheesy versions of Cyclops, not unlike the Wolverine set.
