      I agree it's probably something in the 18" size, and large retro figures are getting to be "the thing." Gentle giant is adding 12" versions of the 3.75" 80's Joes and the same size versions of the old Super Powers figures. Mattycollectors is selling similar versions of the original He-Man figures. And we just got a 2 foot tall reproduction of the 1970's giant Kenner Alien figure. So 18" classic Megos would go right along with that trend.

      Not sure how many of these I'd actually get, though, if that is what they are planning. A figure that could become an 18" Apache Chief I'd probably get (especially if there's a female figure at the same scale to turn into Giganta), but space is a real concern, especially at this scale. Of course, if it IS actually Apache Chief himself at 18", I'll be racing folks to the pre-order...

        It's been hinted for a while that there will be some giant remegos and I am taking a guess that it will be either 18" WGH (Batman and Superman) 66 Batman or KISS.
        Other companies are doing giant SuperPowers figures so why not plus FTC probably won't kick off the giant remegos with a new untested product until testing the giant sales with Batman or KISS.

          If they can do that scale with Neca already doing it for Batman 66 and Chris Reeve Superman

              Id like to see them in classic style Mego Boxes, Im not a fan of these giant plastic packages and wouldn't want an 18" figure in one.

                I'd guess an 18" figure would come in more of a classic box with clear window. Shipping on a full Kresge Card on an 18" figure would be HUGE!!!

                I'm hoping that at 18" a Superman figure would have a much better looking head and at least belt loops and a buckle. It would also be nice if the boots were made of a pliable material instead of the hard plastic.

                I throw Superman out there mainly since I'd assume if they do DC, it will start with Batman and Superman. And I'm getting kinda tired of rehashed Batman.

                Or Big News could mean they finally got the Linda Carter license. What was bigger to a small boy than seeing Wonder Woman jumping on a trampoline as a kid?

                  As long as its not a BIG letdown like Scooby Doo and Harry Potter. I REALLY don't care for those two lines at all. I hope its something that's fun and exciting like a superhero or something crazy and wild

                        Don't know if it has enough legs for an action Figure following but I'm going to throw my hat into the ring here, I've seen a lot of posts about this Franchise on Facebook lately...

                        If Kurt Russell's Snake Pliskin was a hit Maybe His Jack Burton Character will too???

                        I doubt it but was worth a shot...
