They're planning Harry Potter??

[mickeymoosemego]

mickeymoosemego quote might have hints in it? "no one knows what the future Holds" or "Also different scales may be coming around the mountain on many different things." Some of the words have capital letters (Holds, License, Moment)?

Sometimes I do this and sometimes I don't. Good Eye though. I think the one I'm speaking of in this thread will be a big surprise with several other surprises of new things on the way. No one's on Target yet!

(G)ood (Eye) could be GI as in Joe. Doubt it, but Hasbro doesn't seem to interested in its own property at the moment. Or Good Eye and Target could refer to something else like Robin Hood. Or G E T could be hinting at Get Smart. Or the guy's just yanking chains.

Target could mean we will finally see FTC go mainstream with a Target Exclusive that will either show up for Christmas or be announced around that time for next year release.

And it doesn't fit the 15 year hint, but next year is the 30th anniversary of a little movie called "Back To The Future", which has been getting a nice bump in merchandise lately, mostly from DST. But this year we have seen action figures from Funko and next year, Hot Toys will release a Marty McFly. If the head sculpts are good, I would be down with a FTC BTTF line.

Considering they released a JR Ewing action figure, anything is possible!

When were last Beatles figures done? The Yellow Submarine guys were from 1999 McFarlane?

If it's not Star Wars, Bond, Star Trek, Batman, LOTR, Marvel movie franchises then what's left?

[nobody]

I'm going with Terminator due to the Clues.

[ovenmitt]

I thought NECA has Terminator?

[ovenmitt]

Indiana Jones? Does Hasbro still have license after Disney bought Lucasfilm?

[ovenmitt]

Mickey can we expect another FTC BIG announcement day of NEW licenses like April 16, 2013? Next week? Next month?

Dude seriously, you need to stop.

I spoke with FTC yesterday. There are kernels of truth sprinkled into the hints in this thread along with complete misdirection. Some of the 'hints' are for things that aren't finalized, and some are completely misleading - ie. "zoinks." There ain't no Scooby figures coming. We are working to come up with a plan to get the news out in a more organized fashion. I can say that the breadth of upcoming properties is impressive, and the prototypes look great. I can't give hints or play guessing games, but it's safe to expect some major announcements between now and the end of the calendar year.

My guess is that Mickey doesn't work for FTC but does have a close relationship with the people running the company, and probably channels his inner fanboy and shares too much here occasionally. I might find myself in the same situation if I were in his shoes. I appreciate his insights here as well as his love of these figures. We need more posters like him here, IMO.

As for the upcoming announcements, awesome, bring them on! Just a month or so till Early Bird Superman and Wonder Woman ships and I can't wait.

[CrimsonGhost]

I'm pretty sure I've cracked the code here!

I spoke with FTC yesterday. There are KERNELS of truth sprinkled into the hints...

Hmmmm...kernels.... a hint towards summer Popcorn movies? Like...Expendables 3???

...along with complete MISDIRECTION.

Misdirection? Ah ha! The Worlds Greatest Magicians!! David Copperfield, Penn and Teller, Doug Henning...

We are working to come up with a plan to get the news out in a more organized fashion.

"I love it when a plan comes together!" I get what you're saying.... sounds like the A-Team is in the works...

....but it's safe to expect some major announcements between now and the end of the calendar year.

Major....Nelson? It's gotta be "I dream of Jeannie".
