FTC confirms on FB that Tarzan is coming 'later this year' plus...

I always thought one could use the Uhura sculpt for La, or WW's Nubia. I like the Weissmuller Leopard Men, too.

In 1973 when I was 3 my Mom bought Mego Tarzan and Captain America for me and said I could have 1 now and the other for Christmas. I wanted Cap now! I lost Tarzan's little black plastic knife almost immediately! When I got Mego Conan years later in 1979 I wondered why Mego gave Tarzan a flesh boysuit! Same with 8" Wonder Woman!

I will buy FTC Tarzan and Jane and whoever in the line! Cheetah?

Honestly, I was never really into the Mego Tarzan. It just didn't appeal to me even though I was a Tarzan fan. However, I'm sure FTC will do a fine job with him.

My favorite Tarzan figure was that 1970s Mattel one (I think it had a Big Jim body).

My only issue with the look of the original Mego Tarzan is the flesh tights. I love the headsculpt. I'll just switch the head to a buff body and add a loincloth.

Can't wait for the RE Howard figures...

[MysteryWho]

Tarzan and R.E. Howard stuff is what I've been most excited about. The only license they've been quieter about might be Gilligan.

[Gorn Captain]

Maybe they can throw in a monkey or something...

I hope the Tarzan figure isn't just a Repro of the MEGO figure.

That's the whole point of the line, to give us the original Megos plus the figures that should have been made.

I have no idea what the ERB product license entails. I'd love toys made from all weird 'Tarzan' characters made through TrendMasters.
Trendmasters made the Leopard men, but also had tones of weird critters.
The John Carter & At the Earth's Core stuff would make amazing armored mego figures.
Not that this would actually happen, but that is the sort thing I am totally into.

That's what they are showing on the website.

Queen La of Opar had devolved ape men as her subjects. They'd make some great figures too.

I'd love to see a Leopard Man figure from the old Weismuller film. The wore leopard pelts and used the claws to attack people.

I know the film TArzan isn't not the license FTC has, but a character wearing a big cat pelt would look cool or maybe silly, depending on you view the photo, lol. I loved that movie as a kid.

[melkorjunior]

Queen La would be awesome. But only if the head sculpt looks like a woman and not a child's doll. No Mego Batgirl / Wonder Woman / Supergirl style heads please.

^I've always had this feeling she'd be the FTC generic blonde female with a polysuede dress. Hopefully with a better seamstress than OMBC Mada.

I'd love to see a Leopard Man, Clayton, Queen La of Opar, and Korak.
