    I picked up the Kid Flash and Wave 3 Batgirl. I may get some of the '66 figures (Egghead looks good and definitely the Yvonne Craig Batgirl when it hits). I'll go for Solomon Kane, Ra's al Ghul, maybe Kull and Tarzan's Jane (if she looks good). Maybe and Evel Knieval...(I like the costume). Personally, I think the Dukes look awful and no interest in KISS, Gilligan's Island or Dallas.

    Mostly, I want the superhero/villains that Mego did not produce.

        I'll pick up a few WGSH, but I'll buy all the Tarzan (Tarzan, Jane, and Korak) and Robert E. Howard figures (Conan, King Kull, and Solomon Kane). Probably doubles of those figures. First Korak and Solomon Kane figures ever made--I'll probably have to keep one of each MOC and one to mess around with.

          I'm passing on the Dukes. There's enough original versions out there so I'm not too worried about that line. I'll pass on Conan and Tarzan themselves when they come out and might get the others in the line. DC stuff I'll get the stuff Mego didn't do.

            I really do want them all. There is something magical. They make me smile deep and wide every time I glance over at them on the wall. And while I would be happy collecting all of the 8 inch lines, the reality of the budget says that isn't happening. So far though I am really happy with what I've got:
            Batman Series 1
            Dick Grayson from Series 2
            KISS Alive
            '66 Batman and Robin

            I will be all over the Superman series when it comes out. Probably try to buy a case of those actually. Would also like a few of the Super Powers carded figures. And as far as the rest I'll keep looking and surfing around for deals on the cheap. And I do want to see the 18 inch versions. If it is a scaled up version of the 8 inch I will most certainly snatch up a Superman.

                I havent got any yet, still pining to get the 66 stuff in, and that will probably be my main focus. Maybe pickup the ones mego never did, but space is starting to be a issue. Theres loads of stuff Id love to collect, but if I cant display it, then Im not buying it.

                    I'm not going to have the $ to "Collect 'em all".
                    Not at $25.00 a piece. It makes it that much harder than when the price point is $18.00 like SMDM.
                    Especially with so many coming out at once, in a short timespan.
                    I had to get RC Bats and RM Robin. I have '66 Batman Wave 1, and will get more if I can afford them.
                    Basically, I'm a Batman collector, but nothing has been displayed since we moved 10 years ago.
                    I want only the WGSH that I can afford. Not interested in any of the other lines, besides '66 Batman TV stuff.

                      After being tough on them for years as Classic TV Toys, FTC have converted themselves into a truly unique company. I love their product these days. What have I got? Geez. Thats a long arse list. Every single DC character to date (the others on pre-order). All the Batman '66 stuff along with upcoming pre-orders in place. Unspeakable masses of KISS figures (in both scales). I have one 12 inch Evel Knievel in his classic white uniform. Love that. Passed on the Dukes. Passed on JR. But looking forward to Gilligan's Island; the Conan series; and the Tarzan/Jane lineup.

                      If we want to examine their old stock when they went under their sister name, CTVT, I have all the Happy Days sets; All the Munsters; All the Mego Western sets; All the Mego Knights sets; All the Robinhood sets; Jet Jungle; and a blue million more odds and ends along with all sorts of clothes and accessories for customs I'll never get to. So it's been a long journey with FTC. Started out rocky, but has been smooth sailing now for a good spell. I think they found their mojo and pretty much make high quality product for every collector these days. Their turnaround has been breathtaking and I tip my hat for that effort because it's crystal clear they listen and apply quality controls to their product. It's a company that demonstrates it truly values feedback and takes action where it's needed.

                      I also like their Facebook page because they're responsive and don't dangle you on a line with semantics in advertising. By the time their making announcements for new product, they clearly have a business plan in place to get it out and typically meet release dates with only minor adjustments. I also like the fact they've made inroads into producing small runs of figures to satisfy that niche that wants a deeper exploration into these licenses. They don't seem to have their hands tied to minimum factory volumes or need to advertise at Toy Fairs. They appear to do their homework beforehand and put out product allot of people want. So as a consumer I have tremendous confidence in their ability to deliver after they've peeked my interest.

                        BatmanWGSH figures
                        66 batman figures are on the back burner with high interest. I really like the looks of the dukes of hazard figurs too, but always short on funds for those, and I really want a rosco and boss hogg to go with my collection. Some great stuff coming out of FTC!

                          I'm still just buying parts from CTVT, some new, some old. I'm waiting for Conan and Tarzan to start buying the complete figures.

                              I think they are all really well done, but I've set the whole thing out so far.

                                For most of the re-Mego products, I basically stick to complimentary figures- ones Mego didn't produce. From Figures Toys I've picked up Batman '66 (I was always admired Thomas' customs), the series 2 Monsters and I did get the 8" versions of the first Kiss line. I didn't have the vintage figures at the time.
                                WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.
