Which RETRO Batman characters do you want that Mego NEVER made?

[TomStrong]

Would love to see a Tim Drake Red Robin, I loved that version.

[thunderbolt]

Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Ra's and Talia, Mr. Freeze. Some form of Clayface, Batman from Planet X

[Joshua the Atomic Robot]

I'm a fan of the goofy and colorful villains from the '50s and '60s, as well as crazy Batman variant costumes. Some of my picks would be:

• Polka-Dot Man (aka Mr. Polka Dot) - My favorite one-off Batman villain. He wears a white jumpsuit covered in colorful polka-dots, like a bag of Wonder Bread.
• Catwoman (purple dress)
• Alfred
• Poison Ivy
• Batwoman (Kathy Kane)
• Bat-girl (Betty Kane)
• Mr. Freeze
• Jungle Batman and Robin (Tarzan-like variant costumes)
• Crazy Quilt
• The Batman from Planet X (aka The Batman from Zur-En-Arrh)
• Killer Moth
• Firefly
• Cavalier
• Rainbow Batman (variant costumes from Detective Comics #241)
• Batman Revenge Squad
• Zebra Man and Zebra Batman
• Hugo Strange
• The Monk

When Mattel announced their Retro-Action line a few years ago, I got excited and envisioned 30+ characters over a 2-4 year period. We know that went downhill fast. Now in 2013, Figures is showing us their vision of DC. I will approach this more carefully because I know how quickly toy companies plans can go south. I hope they can deliver on their very ambitious project. I would hope that eventually they can obtain the rest of the DC characters and even Marvel, but again I am trying not to get overly excited. I am however very happy they are reproducing the originals as they appeared in the 70's. I have always wanted mine back but with a small budget for collectibles I could never obtain my childhood toys. Now I can finally have all my favorites once again, Six Million dollar man (bbp), vintage Star Wars (hasbro),Mego Star Trek (emce), and finally Worlds greatest heroes (figures). I am one happy camper.

Figures did say the Retro Batman line would be extended beyond the ones that Mego produced so this is not just for the TV series Batman.

[Lord Mongo]

Given the prices quoted per figure, I imagine that the biggest problem will be to produce names that will be both recognizable and marketable. The idea of reproducing the Superfriends, or the Justice League are going to be the most likely candidates.

Personally, Yes, a Neal Adams/Jim Aparo Style Batman would be awesome, as would finally having a Commissioner Gordon, or Alfred.

But for me, Its all about the BAD GUYS..

Killing Joke Joker - swivel arm body to get that "look"
Bane - upgraded muscle body (like Doc's)
Killer Croc - Same as Bane
Poison Ivy
Catwoman

[Bionicfanboy66]

Barbera Gordon(from Batman 66)

[powersthatbe]

for the comic book batman
poison ivy
clayface
ra's al ghul
scarecrow
mister freeze

Would like to see DC's non-superhero characters get the Mego treatment, too. Jonah Hex, Unknown Soldier, Sgt. Rock, and even Alfred E. Newman.

My two top wants might be possible here in a collectors aimed line: Alfred and Commissioner Gordon. These two are cornerstones of the Batman universe, but we always get the "kids won't buy a guy in a tux or a trenchcoat" when it's a retail line. This, however, is a collector's line, so we shouldn't hear that or "girls don't sell!" As for other characters, I'd really hope they keep the selection to the Mego era, as there's so much to work with there you don't need to jump beyond the 70's. Scarecrow, Killer Moth, Ra's, Talia, Hugo Strange, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Blockbuster. Heck, throw in the Earth two versions of Batman and Robin, and add Huntress. So much just from that time period they could draw from.

Let's not forget Man-Bat.

[JediJaida]

That might be a smidge difficult, as they'd need a whole new sculpt for the body to include wings.

true Mego retro style would just do something like what they did with the Falcon. Not difficult at all.

[PNGwynne]

If course I want Killer Moth, Cavalier, & Crazy Quilt, but that's a long shot, I know. So:

Alfred
Gordon
Mr. Freeze
Poison Ivy
Clayface II
Scarecrow
Mad Hatter
Catman
Ra's al Ghul
Talia
Classic Catwoman (dress)
Man-Bat
Blockbuster (hulk body)
Huntress (E2)
Robin (adult, E2)
TT Robin

Perhaps Creeper, early Killer Croc, Bane & disco Nightwing, but I really just want classic characters from the "Mego Era"--nothing much after 1981.

And how about a "Build-a-Henchman" customizing kit--what fun!
