Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

If you want to go beyond DC and Marvel I think the Archie Mighty Crusaders would have had way more mass-market appeal and mainstream recognition than Atlas. The Mighty Crusaders also has 80s toy nostalgia going for them because of the Remco line. Happy for the people that want them. It's just a real head scratcher for me. Will enough Walmart shoppers even know what the heck they are?

New newsletter this week has a first look at the Atlas Grim Ghost figure, and it looks awesome! And a second Big Bang DC figure-Leonard as GL. Thanks for doing the newsletter, I look forward to it every Friday.

Wait... are those going to be real releases?

Agreed. I never heard of Atlas before this. And I am highly suspicious of the talk of them being in on the ground floor of the next "cinematic universe". But regardless, the figure looks great and the packaging seems very appealing to modern collectors.

(Plus I'm going to assume they borrowed that shirt from Trelane!)

Honestly the whole cinematic universe thing could be hit or miss but getting 70s comic characters in Mego style is the big gain for me at least.

I have no clue about the Atlas characters, but that Grim Ghost is one good looking figure!

To be truthful could not tell if the sold well. When Hastings was shutting down, was when I bought me BBT figures. I went in and they were under $10 each so I bought what was available. Right now, they are all packed away while I begin to redo my storage room/museum and rebuilding every display shelf. I need to get them out of my living room.

Did the original Big Bang figures sell well? I only got a few because they were so heavily discounted and used the bodies for the Diamond Marvel packs.

Well, I think this Sheldon thing is ridiculous, but RC Flash custom? I'm in.

[Z-man 307]

I'm a little confused. To clarify, Mego is actually making this Sheldon Flash? If so, I don't get it.

I loved adding the Big Bang Theory to my collection ( when they went on clearance).

The Star Trek cosplay became extra crew members.

The Renaissance Fair came in handy on adding to the Knights/Robin Hood collection.

So it seems we are finally getting wave of Super Friends X Big Band Theory.

I'm not sure it is safe to assume a single figure is a sign of a wave of similar figures from Mego these days. There's a lot of properties that have only seen 1 or 1 or 2 figures. More likely the one figure we saw will be in a wave with other different properties and if it sells well, maybe there will be more, and if not, it'll likely be the only one. That's pretty much the pattern that we have seen since the Target deal ended for everything except Trek and DC.
