      Not unless their parents were geeky enough to buy the series on VHS.

      Did it come out on tape? I don't remember if it did.

      And today's kids would take one look at it and go "Pfffft! That's science-fiction?"

              Those are a big improvement!

                It's on Hulu. Watched the first two episodes the other day.
                It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  First off, thanks everybody for your input. I've sent a list of revisions to the factory and once I have pics of the modified body I'll post them here.

                    You might want to ask how porous the material of the figure is. I've had terrible problems with black and blue dye staining the legs of the dolls from the clothing.

                    I'm getting some Remove-zit for that problem, but it hasn't come in yet. Tell them to make sure that the fabrics are colorfast when it comes to the costumes.

                          New Body with Revisions

                          Just wanted to post a pic of the revisions made to the new body and share a little info on what's been changed.

                          1. The torso has been lengthened by adding new muscle detail and the legs have been shortened.
                          2. The hand size has been reduced.
                          3. The feet are now removable like the hands which will offer more options in terms of new boot/shoe designs that would otherwise be too difficult to slip over the feet. The boots/shoes would come with a pin built in that would pop into place at the ankle.

                          There will also be two separate sets of hands available for the body when it goes on sale. One set is the classic MEGO style hands, and the other set is clinched fists. These sets will be sold separately from the body which will come standard with the grip hands that are shown on the prototype.

                          The revised body shown in the image is the final design and the way it's looking now the bodies should be available before the end of the year.
