Everything mentioned above is coming in 2015! Can't give out all the details. Just stay tuned and enjoy the slight break!Comment

I just hope the Nightwing sculpt and outfit are killer. Same with the 7" Robin. An entirely new head that best reflects his Silver/Bronze look.
Hope the Flash is good, but I'm pretty pleased with Hasbro. Plus, they already gave me my favorite GL (Guy Gardner).Comment

I'm most looking forward to a Neal Adams BATMAN & ROBIN. But I'm dying to see FTC Flash & Green Lantern . Mattel's were a big disappointment.Mattel's Green Lantern was passable for a re-worked Capt.Kirk...but the Flash was just hideous.

I don't get all of the dislike for the Mattel Flash head. I thought it did a decent job of capturing the silver age look of the Flash. I tried to sculpt a Flash head with that look back when I had time to sculpt (i.e: single!) Here are some pics for comparison.

On second thought, if my third or fourth sculpting attempt looks similar to a professionally sculpted head...... oh well to each their own. I guess I look at the Mattel Flash and think, Hey, I (almost did) do that...Comment

The only way I can see them doing Nightwing in the Disco outfit and keeping it at the normal price point is if they print it similarly to Wonder Woman. It has a LOT of detail that would be very expensive otherwise.
But as long as it fits well, it should still look good. I have high hopes for it.
If you are into customizing, I'm seeing lots of bugle beads.

While it's easy to see some of the drawbacks to that initial Mattel Flash figure, it will always hold a special place for me because it was the FIRST. I still LOVE the boots and tread detail. Because Paul made it happen, I had some magical Christmas moments with a Mego-style Flash and that gives it all the merit I will ever need. Thanks Paul!!!Comment

I second that^
Love every thing on my Mattel Flash. I'll bet more folks love it than hate it. I got him that Christmas too and it was special!
Stop hating on poor old Mattel Flash. It's getting old.mego's befo ho'sComment

I really dig Matty Flash, too. So much so that I will skip whatever FTC manages to come up with.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I got him for Christmas too!
Love him!
I will buy FTC's also!Comment

Actually, i liked the Mattel Flash. I just didn't like it's profile pertaining to the nose. Therefore, i did a little Rhino-plasty on him with my dremel (+ repaint) and problem solved...See pics below, post modification.
I think Mattel Flash looks better now....to me at least (it's subjective Ya'll).
