    Why do you think they won't make a new body? Old Mego did. All they really need is a new tummy section, or create a teen body and use stuffing as Mattel did with Darksied. They are using different bodies with their 8" line. I think the only way this line will survive the long haul is by using different bodies. Neca made a greeat 1/4 Penguin. I have confidence Mego can do it. Their classic Penguin from the 70's was one of their best figures. He and Joker were the only two characters to run the entire life of the line besides the big 3 of Superman,Batman and Robin.

      If Mego wanted to make a 14" Penguin, my guess is they would make a padded outfit for the current body. There would have to be plans for numerous fat characters to justify the cost of making a new mold for a fat body.
      Expectation is the death of discovery.

            Besides the Marvel Family suggestions already made, I'd love a Jonah Hex if they're going to tackle any of the western heroes. I'm also always a fan of Blackhawk.

                If they go non-hero, I would love to see a line of the mystery book hosts- Cain, Abel, the three Witches, etc. from House of Mystery, House of Secrets, Witching Hour, etc. as well as a full line of the war book regulars-Rock for sure, the Losers, War that Time Forgot, the Haunted Tank crew, etc. but then I have eclectic tastes and know the hero line would be much more profitable and sellable for Mego.

                    I have a soft spot for the WW2 DC comics. Plus I'm thinking of all those awesome Joe military pieces to accent the line...

                          What about Tarzan and Jet Jungle? or the 8" version? I'm pretty sure no toy line has the owner rights to them?

                            Dick Grayson Classic Robin! And OK to use the 14" body... Mego did the Mego Magnetic Batman and Robin equally tall.

                              Mego needs to finish what Mattel tried to do with its retro action line and round out some teams/core characters:

                              Heroes:
                              Robin
                              Aquaman
                              Green Arrow
                              Martian Manhunter
                              Shazam
                              Dr. Fate
                              Supergirl
                              Hawk Man
                              Firestorm
                              Plastic Man
                              Spectre

                              And if Mego has the right to Super Friends characters:
                              Samurai
                              Apache Chief
                              El Dorado
                              Black Vulcan
                              Marvin
                              Wendy

                              Villains:
                              Sinestro
                              Riddler
                              Braniac
                              Bizarro
                              Black Adam
                              Black Manta
                              Cheetah
                              Captain Cold
                              Professor Zoom
                              Giganta
                              Scarecrow
                              Toyman
                              Solomon Grundy
                              Gorilla Grodd

                                What he said about the SuperFriends. And I want to add the Wonder Twins to that list.
