    I sure hope FTC gets the Marvel and Trek license. There are so many characters to be made. Too bad DST did not embrace this format. They are highly collectable, but they overpriced the 8 inch scale and doomed it to fail with the 80.00 price point. I am eternally optimistic, please FTC or someone - pick up the 8 inch line of Marvel and Trek.

      FTC would be offered the same license parameters from Hasbro.

        We can only wish upon a star that after Disney and Marvel saw $80 sets did not work and ended them that they offer FTC something new this time with FTC success with DC Megos.

          I highly doubt it. Why would they want to repeat what was obviously a failure? I realize FTC isn't perfect, but man they sell the CRAP out of those DC figures. Marvel would be stupid not to follow that example.

            That's the license that Hasbro offers. It has nothing to do with Marvel or DST. I've heard rumors that another company went for the license with confidence they could alter the deal due to previous clout and couldn't. They got offered the 80$ collector figure license again, same as DST.

            Furthermore, the money generated by remego figures is chump change to Hasbro and Marvel. It's obvious to me they couldn't care less about what it brings in.

                  Trek is an interesting match. It is a line that is made for variants (same costume, different head... same head, different costume...) and for whatever reason, EMCE seemed reluctant to do them. But FTC *loves* variants.

                    I don't want any FTC Treks unless they reuse vintage head sculpts and hire a new sculptor.

                        I have most of 90s Playmates 9" Star Trek Mego like figures and there were 89 different figures 10 of which were different versions of Kirk and almost as many of Picard. PM covered all 4 Trek TV shows at the time and the 1st 3 Next Generation movies. There was even Pike, Chapel, Edith Keeler and Mirror, Mirror variants. I wanted more classic aliens but 3 of those were in the 12" line. PM does everything with a license like Trek, TMNT and the Simpsons.

                        I would love for FTC to do the same with Mego 8" Star Trek and maybe 12" too. All Trek TV shows and movies. Well maybe not Enterprise TV and the new Trek movies. Hee hee.

                        And on Marvel Hasbro has made up to 18" Marvel figures. FTC would be lucky to get 8" Mego Marvel I doubt 12" too.

                          I'd be cool with FTC Trek. The results wouldn't be as nice as EMCE, but man they would kill it with accessories and variants.

                          FTC Marvel....How about they QC their current license before bottoming out the entire format?

                            if emce diamond select did black panther ,the line might have a slightly longer life. they missed the boat that they didnt miss with deadpoole when the movies
                            came out ,i cant help but wonder why they didnt do black panther ? (not the movie of course ,but the classic comic book).
                            if FTC actually did marvel ( i know loooonnngg shot) can you imagine how many charactors they would do +variants .i look at all these great DC figures -and theres a lot ,the figures
                            would be overwhelming to have in a collection along with DC.but i would try and collect them all it would be nice to have both marvel and dc under the same umbrella ,with
                            hanna barbara superheros their doing to truly call them the worlds greatest superheros then just worlds greatest heros .as for trek ,i have all but two of the playmates "9 line.and
                            although their good ,would still like more "8"mego trek figures from all series and films ,i have the Emce figures ,FTC would run wild with that property'would like planet of the apes
                            retros also i have the emce apes and neca (but necas are not mego to me) but a FTC series of apes would be nice .

                                It's all about obtaining the licensing rights, I'm not sure how FTC would work Star Trek? maybe the same way as the 66 Batman series, releasing sets of 4 characters at a time, and please NO AJ redshirts. If FTC did get the Marvel license, they would make a killing, but don't count on the body quality to be any different.
