I still think there is a chance Mattel could go back to these. With all the other new 8" lines out there now they may want to jump back on the bandwagon again. So I take the "never say never" approach.Last edited by ScottA; Jan 23, '13, 1:04 PM.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

Paul was kind enough to show us the prototype Hawkman head with removable helmet at the meet. There are no photos of it. But at least we know Hawkman was coming.

It would be what I call a miracle if the Retro line should reappear, not that I am giving up hope. Maybe Toyfair will reveal some major suprises. It would be fun to eventually see some pics of planned figures which did not make it into production.Comment

Is that what we are talking about? I was very disappointed because my son liked them except for the looseness and we may have bought 3 sets of each. But only if they were At Least As Good as the 1970's toys.
I just don't understand.
If I'm going to spend that money now I'm either going to customize them myself or have you guys do it for me. I would think now that there has been a production run there may be parts and molds and stuff that will work their way into the custom world.
I also didn't like the Star Trek ones for the same reason but I did load up on many of those and have 2 of each I think (at least) for a different reason. Did the Star Trek guys ever get solid boots? I have the Mirror Kirk and Spock but haven't checked them.-
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Message, Spock?

We were totally robbed with no Joker or Robin ever produced.Comment

A Nightwing and Scarecrow could be cool. No worries either way. Mattel could make them or I can piece them together at my leisure. I'm delighted to have the figures they did produce.If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.Comment

It's obnoxious that Mattel never gave us the final figures, never told us bout them or showed us anything, never gave the license to someone else who could do it since Mattel was unwilling or unable. It's all just a huge failure and a huge waste.Comment
