I have never understood why Disney/Marvel refuse to release ANY of their classic live action and animated series.
That's one thing I have to give DC and Warner Bros. credit for. They've released every single version of Super Friends, '66 Batman, '77 Wonder Woman, the Filmation cartoons...ALL of it. They don't ignore their own history and realize there are still plenty of fans that fondly remember those shows.
I can't believe there have been SIX Spider-Man films, yet the Nicholas Hammond series, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and even the complete 90's series STILL have yet to see an official U.S. release. That's just insane.
Then there's The '82 Incredible Hulk cartoon, The '67 and '78 Fantastic Four cartoons, the '78 Spider-Woman cartoon...all largely forgotten.
The lack of merchandising for these shows is just as baffling. We've seen a slew of '66 Batman and Lynda Carter Wonder Woman merchandise...Mattel even released a figure of John Wesley Shipp from the 1990 Flash TV series.
Where is the Marvel stuff? Can you imagine a series of '67 Spider-Man animated retro figures? A Reb Brown Captain America stunt cycle? A massive Lou Ferrigno Hulk statue?
They are literally leaving money on the table...and more than that, they're disrespecting Marvel's history.
