    Do some more research on the topic. You'll be surprised.
    Of that I have no doubt. I was just saying that Rogen is also obsessed with the TV show.

      Really? I don't think Playing Mantis had to do that.

        I think he meant that's what he'd like to see. Playing Mantis didn't do that, hence he'd like to see one.
        Maybe?

          enterbay's Kato is sold out unfortunatley (just found out about it last week) and Seth Rogen is a poor Green Hornet in my opinion, a funny dude yes but not the Green Hornet and I am not obsessed with the tv show.

            I would love to see Van Williams and Bruce Lee likenesses on action figures. But I would be happier just to have Green Hornet and Kato if it meant the heads had to be Captain Action head or "Asian American" head.

                  I was hoping that someone from CastAway would chime in by now.

                    I haven't seen it yet, but plan to see it this week on our digital network's 'Movies on Demand'. Can't wait.

                        Given their troubles with the factory in china, I think it's perfectly understandable if their focus is elsewhere right now.

                          I was just hoping for a "yes, we're thinking about it" or "no way".

                            I'd say give it some time. The GH licenses were picked up by a bunch of companies and no doubt, overinflated in worth, when the new movie came out. Now that the movie has proven to be a failure (at least in terms of merchandising) there may be potential to do something with the license in a year or two.

                            Right now I doubt you could even snag the license, as so many people bought it to do various product in anticipation of the feature film. 99% of which have never seen the light of day.
