The Top Five Retro Action Heroes We'd Like To See

Licensing rights

Not really - they are owned by Warner Bros. so everything is top dollar.

I would support that line as well. Seems to really fit the Retro style as well. I wonder if the licensing rights are reasonable on these properties.

That's too bad. Thanks for your input.

My top 5 would be:

Flash
Captain Cold
Hawkman
Gentleman Ghost
Plastic man - if they could make him stretchy

[huedell]

My Top 5 at this point would probably be Plastic Man, Hawkman, Cheetah,
Brainiac and Captain Cold.

Tough call though.

I can't really add too much to shat's already been mentioned. Almost all of the ideas are great. I can only personally post my personal wants and desires.

Flash - Four decades of Megoish disrespect is long enough. His time has come.

Captain Cold - He's a pretty weak villain power level wise, but he'd make an an outstanding figure. Since each hero needs a villain, he's the best choice.

Shazam - I can't some up with a good reason why Mattel should make him except it would make me happy. I love this character and would like nothing more than to see him in this new line on a nice backer card hanging in TRU.

Black Adam - Of course SHazam needs an enemy, so this is obvious. The tooling and costume pattern would be the same as Shazam, so this would also be cost-effective. Plus he's my favorite villain.

DR. Fate - How cool would this guy look on the pegs?

Just a few ideas. I know they will likely never happen, but that's just my goofy wish list.

The New Gods

Mr.Miracle
Orion
Big Barda
Darkseid

Man, I would love to see some New Gods make the Retro line. Those would be awesome!

I'd like to think DARKSEID was a shoe-in---but if they need a different body
type then obviously it makes it a lot harder to pull off.

Unfortunately true...I don't think Mattel would make another Body type for Darkseid. But wouldn't it be great to have a Villain that could go Toe to Toe with Supes!

[MegomanJess]

Apache Chief is owned by Hanna-Barbera not DC. So unless the Retro Hero line branches off to other comics this won't happen. If you're sticking with DC only choices you need to replace your #5 choice.

[CrimsonGhost]

Hanna Barbera and DC are both owned by Warner Brothers.

Furthermore, Mattel has released a set of Apache Cheif, Black Vulcan, and Samurai in their JLU line so it could totally happen.

Considering the fact that there are currently 3 Mego-scaled Darkseids out there (DC direct, DC Direct Michael Turner version, and the Collect and Connect figure), does that make them MORE or LESS likely to make one for this line? I honestly don't know.

Personally, I'd think they'd not do another one so soon considering Darkseid bits are still in stores.

[Krypt0nite]

Just a "Dream List", but I'd love to see:

Metamorpho
Plastic Man
Phantom Stranger
Adam Strange
Superboy (Young Kal with Krypto pack-in)

Nope, As Andrew already stated, he's included in Mattel's DC license.

I agree with Flash being number one on the list. WAY overdue! With that said (and the trend of one villain per hero), I'd say Captain Cold would be second on my list. Cheetah would be awesome and if they made Cheetah and a new body for a female character, it seems only logical that Wonder Woman would be the in the same wave. For the 5th character, it seems like they'd go with someone who didn't have as obvious of a villain so that they can make an odd number in the series, so I'd throw Plastic Man on my list just because he seems popular enough, nostalgic enough and would work without a villain. So my list (based on what they've made so far, what Mego neglected and fans seem to want) would be:

1. Flash
2. Captain Cold
3. Wonder Woman
4. Cheetah
5. Plastic Man
