Ew !! do tell... Seriously was there talk that they almost licensed to Mantis to do Dc Figures? I had never heard this but please share the story I really am curious.
I kinda think C.A is a bad example of judging the sale of the 8" figures because all that I have read says that the original Ideal figures were unpopular and sold not so well ( my dad would argue vehemently) and that their failure really lead to the success of the 8" toys.[/QUOTE]
what i understand it was going to be a 2 figure set ,batman and villian, and superman and Villian
sold threw the WB stores.
which villians I do not know.
and anyBody who can pull off a reintroduction it would be diamond comics.They Could "coax" DC in to doing it.
because they control the shipping network of getting comic/toy products to retailers.
there a lot of reasons why CA failed , Being sued twice by hasbro did not help.
The outfits were welldone but pricey.The regrind plastics for the accessories(becuse they hold the paint on better)ment many returns.
the lack of a villian at the onset was big mistake,but IDEAL resources was streached to the limit and could not do a villian at first.
remenber Ideal was 9 largest toy company at the time.
Capatain action face was plain ugly.
