18-Inch Format... Why?

[mego]

Target is starting to sell huge star wars figures. (might even be larger than 18?)
For me, this size is just too big. A bit over indulgent perhaps?

[Gorn Captain]

I love the larger formats.
I'm steering away from smaller figures and starting to focus on getting just one (huge) figure from certain movies and series, to represent the whole franchise.
Like the 31" Darth Vader.

I told Anthony that a huge pair of Mego Batman and Robin standing guard over my collection would make me really happy. I think it would really add a nice touch to a display. On the other hand, I wouldn't be in for a bunch of characters. I could see the Superman crowd being represented, and then after that I would think it would be a hard sell to move factory minimums.

I agree with Steve. I'd be in for at least a Robin. After that, I'm not so sure.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I'd go for Batman and Robin if they were made well. I don't think this size can sustain a large number of figures. But NECA seems to be doing okay with it, so what do I know.

That's a big figure. Mattel has made Superman and Batman figures of that size based on the films out of molded plastic. I've passed on them. But, I mego-like Superman would be terribly hard for me to pass up. Probably Batman and Robin, too. I'd love to have a Green Lantern and, well, if they made Flash, Aquaman and Wonder Woman, I'd probably get them as well. Yeah am a sucker, maybe even an addict.

I love big toys, I'd probably buy a few Mego based ones. They would look great displayed with their smaller vintage counterparts. Hell, I like how the Mego 12" figures look next to the 8" ones, even though the designs were different.

[Dark Shadow]

I'd buy 18" exact replicas of KISS, Spider-Man, Green Goblin & Joker. Anything else that size would have to be much more highly detailed than original mego-style for me to continue investing in that scale.

[Krypt0nite]

I would buy Apache Chief, Giganta, and Colossal Boy in this scale for sure

18" Elasti Girl for Doom Patrol!

What would be really cool is to get an 18" version of Batman and pair him with a 12" version of Robin.

That's a great idea! Although I've yet to lay hands on one. I think 12" Robin is one of the best looking figures Mego made.

At 12 inches robin would either have to be a midget or about eight to ten years old.

18" Elasti Girl for Doom Patrol!

I would love this, but they would have to make a half decent female body, no giant size repro the Mego one. I'm suspecting we're only getting a male body given how these thing work.

The Tonner DC Stars MALE dolls are 17.5" tall and FEMALES 15.5" tall. So you can go by those. On Facebook FTC said it will make DC and Batman TV MALE and FEMALE 18" figures. Glad I did not buy NECA 18" Adam West Batman, I prefer CLOTH costumes! I would like to see DC BIG GUNS larger versions of original Mego DC and even UPDATED! Batman TV Batman, Robin, Batgirl ALL with REMOVEABLE masks and 4 main villians- Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman! And I'd love 18" Lynda Carter and Christopher Reeve figures as you know who! I can see FTC 18" as a cheaper alternative to Sideshow and Hot Toys!
