You know what I like most about Figures Inc. doing the Teen Titans line? It's proof positive that they own the entire DC license and not just Batman. Bring on GREEN LANTERN & The FLASH!!
I was going to joke that you'll get them in time for Christmas... 2014. But it didn't read well.
I'm just going to say that for all the grief I've given this line, if they make classic non-civilian characters that Mego didn't make on these "closer than Mattel" 8 inch bodies, I'll be pretty psyched.
Even prototype pictures would be totally fun to see at this point.

seems like the JLA carrying case was proof enough of that already.

^^^ Maybe not. Depending on what they look like, it may make the originals go up in value. They will have to get pretty close in likeness. Those Megos their using as "prototypes" are clearly not the finished product.
I'm thinking the smaller the figure, the less off the mark they'll get?
Whether they're close or not.... I'm thinking they'll be nicer and/or close enough visually & cheaper than what's been available before in the "Titan repro" area.
I've had the male authentic Titans sitting around since I won them in a lot for next to nothing 15 years ago. I can't wait to get rid of them.
The "expensive vintage figures" are one of the worst things about this hobby. The AEs are a joke (Admittedly, I'm biased.. didn't have 'em as a kid and wouldn't even buy repro versions, I thought they were so useless) I'm a big proponent of seeing that "expensive vintage loose figures market" die... but wouldn't mind pocketing some bucks as it does so.
Never bought a Wonder Girl either.
I'm tellin' ya... if these guys actually RELEASE the Titans wave, it'll be yet one more "proof-positive" that patience is a virtue in this hobby.
Smart move. Online companies have no idea how much shipping charges eliminates sales. I've lost count of how many times I've canceled orders after I saw the shipping for something. An advertisement like that would get my attention.
Did I mis-read this or did they miss a trick here. Shouldn't they have made these in 8" scale? Seems like the most obvious move to garner maximum support and not upset the Repro v Original apple cart.
Well said...
The goal is to support the lines (buy what you want, don't buy what you don't want...or buy them all) so that they will continue putting out new figures. For Pete's sake, they have the entire DC license!!! The possibilities are endless...but they have to have the sales to continue. It's a frustrating catch 22 situation, unfortunately, and they're not going to be able to please everyone with their character choices, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel and a bright hope that if we support the lines they will make the figures that have never been made in the Mego format before. That's how I see it. Just my two cents worth...
For those who have not preordered there FTC Batman waves 1-3 you now have your choice of Robins:
8" Robin
7" Teen Titan Robin
8" Dick Grayson
8" Removable Mask Robin
You can now pick your version and be happy. I have preorder all four waves so I am caught up. I do not care for the Dick Grayson or the Removable mask version but that is what my "Batcave" is for, to put figures I do not want to look at or a place to keep my really expensive figures at.
Maybe I worded it wrong? I'll try again. The female teen bodies i.e.Kelly Bundy,the arms and legs don't move like the arms and legs on their little girls bodies like Cindy Brady. Weird thing is their Joanie Cunningham figure isn't on the same body as Kelly Bundy. You would think their female teens would all have the same bodies.
