      I'm thinking more along the lines of a 7" tall teen superheroes and not strictly Teen Titans, but I'd love to see a Supergirl and Superboy in smaller scale. Someone else mentioned Zan, Jayna, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel Jr. which would be great in 7".

      Of the Titans team, I think Beast Boy is a must. I"m a little conflicted about the rest, because my Titans were the New Teen Titans from 1980, and that version of the team was pretty much fully grown young adults that would work in 8" scale.

        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

          I've asked for clarification as to whether these should be confined to 7" scale, and whether or not we can branch out of the Titan-specific characters. I'm with a lot of you in that I believe the NEW TT characters are better-suited for 8" scale. We're basically looking for three more characters to add to Robin for this next wave. A jump to 8" would need to happen at either wave 3 or 4 I would think, which then begs the question if we're only getting Hawk & Dove in one size, do we really want 7"? The possibilities are pretty awesome.

            Hawk could be 8 and Dove 7 inch.

              Anthony pretty much just blew my mind. It's all on the table, 7" or 8", and not confined to characters specifically tied to the Titans. They're already working on a couple of the characters that have been mentioned that if I had made a guess I would have assumed they would have been fairly far off.

              With that in mind, it's looking like top picks so far in no particular order are

              Cyborg
              Raven
              Starfire
              Beast Boy
              Changeling
              Hawk
              Dove

              Does that look right so far?

                After I posted my list, I started to question whether I'd want a 7" Cyborg (I really wouldn't). Glad to hear they are open to using the appropriate size for the character/age.

                In that case I want 8" older versions of Kid Flash, Speedy and Aqualad as well!

                  Beast Boy and Changeling are one and the same. Unless they're doing two costumes? Teen Titans/Doom Patrol era and NewTeen Titans era.

                    I think of him like I do Robin/Nightwing, which isn't quite the same thing but I would think it would work for figure purposes. Purple costume for one, red/white for the other? 7" Robin and Beast Boy as opposed to 8" Nightwing and Changeling?

                      ^Gar was always portrayed as younger and short, so one 7" Gar Logan/Beast Boy/Changeling is fine with me. I'd prefer an additional 8" disco Nightwing over more Gars, please.

                        Surprised Nightwing isn't a popular choice. But I LOVE the idea of making them 8 inch. I think for modern day purposes and broader market appeal, FTC shouldn't try to conceptualize the "teen" aspect of it and just keep them consistent with the 8 inch scale. Glad to see they have broad ideas for characters. This would interest me tremendously because it would be stuff Mego didn't do which pretty much leaves them free to do their own thing and not have to honor a nostalgic look. I wouldn't have any preconceptions at that point and can just let the figure appear to me on it's own terms. I support this.

                          If it's all fair game, then they need one more 7-inch/Silver Age wave to match the first run

                          7-Inch Wave 2

                          Silver Age:

                          Robin
                          Batgirl
                          Superboy
                          Supergirl

                          Then make everything else 8-inch

                            I'd love a 7" Jimmy Olsen. To me, the 7" figures should be young teens and sidekicks only. Robin would be a great 7"er, but Nightwing would need to be 8".

                            Re: Batgirl: was she ever a young teen in the comics? I always thought she was basically an adult, just called "girl." (Like Power Girl.)

                                Would love to see a Doom Patrol wave to compliment Beast Boy somewhere down the line.
