    EMCE had the sense to redo the Gorn, so this would be the perfect opportunity for FTC to strike with a redo, too.

      ^Good point--esp. since, as I said, it is not really a question of new tooling, but of resizing the suit. In fact, if they wanted to add molded boots in stead of sewn ones, they could easily adapt Titans boots.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

        Child body would be more accurate for Mxy but Id even settle for a teen titan body on him.
        Anything to make him just a tad smaller.

          Personally, I can't wait for the little imp! Wish they'd use him in a movie. I'm so sick of Luthor, Luthor, Zod, Luthor, Zod, Zod, Luthor, Zod, Luthor, Luthor.

          The fact that Superman has had six feature films and we still haven't seen a trace of Brainiac, Bizarro, Metallo, etc. blows my mind.

                I agree 1000% with you. However, I'm hearing rumors that Lex Luthor will be in the next Man of Steel installment.

                It's a shame the Superman cartoons have more of a variety of villians and more action overall........Go Figure (no pun).

                    I forgot Sand Superman villain created in 1970s when Superman lost half his power and became immune to kryptonite! Classic Neal Adams cover "Kryptonite No More!" with Superman breaking kryptonite chains! Clark Kent became a TV newsman, too! How could Clark leave On Air TV to change to Superman to help sudden emergencies?

                      I get that FTC is doing straight repros, but a Mxy "revision" at the gate seems smart to me and they should in fact add a corresponding Bat-Mite.

                      Mxy is one of the WORSE Mego figures ever produced! And Bat-Mite...oh, god ...please NO!!!

                              Possibly, which is why some of us were discussing a FTC revision of Mxy.

                              Regarding Bat-Mite, why not? You'll likely be getting a Bronze-Age Batman and Ra's al Ghul from FTC, and if the line continues sufficiently, more diverse characters can be added.

                              I don't want Bat-Mite or Killer Moth before other more notable characters, but Batman's history is diverse. It has always acknowledged the supernatural & sci-fi, and Bat-Mite is a fun reminder of Batman in the '50s.

                              All I'm suggesting is a possible companion figure to a smaller Mxy--an Easter Egg of sorts.
