Last night I was listening to the Superman Movie podcast discussing the Mego tie-ins released around the time of the first Superman film.
And I started thinking... It seems odd that Ma & Pa Kent were released by FTC, but no Jor-El or General Zod - especially since Mego released both of those characters, albeit not in 8" scale! The classic purple/green Lex Luthor was released as part of the Super Friends set, but the Superman line has boring labcoat Lex. Bizarro, Mr. Myx, and Brainiac have been made. Seems like there are more Superman villains and characters FTC could tap into.
I'd really love a Jor-El and a Zod, and maybe even the other Phantom Zone villains.
Do you think there will be a WAVE 4 and if so, who would you include?
Also, minor complaint:
I wish Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane came with cameras.
Even Classic TV Toys doesn't have a camera, other than a video camera.
I bought a Barbie camera on ebay for my Lois, since the microphone isn't even something she can hold in her hand.
