Harley!

[mickeymoosemego]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to these boards, but a longtime Batman collector. I wanted to chime in to ask if a Harley in the standard Batman Retro series was planned. I don't want to miss out on this figure, but I'd rather have her card match my others (even though I'm an opener).

And is Scarecrow destined for the Batman Retro line, too?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I have this info but let me get approval to release the info.

I was wondering the same thing...

I dont want to start another line...
I would like to see all these in the Batman line also... and Dr. Sivana Com Gordon as well...

Batman 66
Batman
Superfriends
Superman
Teen Titans
Wonder Woman
Shazam
Anymore lines....

I can tell you Gorden is on his way back out after the early bird edition which came out last year. He will be slightly different.

Dr Sivana is coming back to and again, he will be slightly different. If you like this kind of stuff I can tell you the Gordon ( early bird) now sells for about 4-5 times what it cost just last year.

The Batman animated 90's version is a really good choice for Harley. FTC should put out a Batman animated figure to go with it

Scarecrow is supposed to be in wave 4 of the Batman series with Gordon, Ra's and a "new" Batman.

I thought that might be the case. I might hold off on buying Scarecrow then, as I'll buy that entire wave...

On Gordon does that include fixing the big head issue?

Correct! The mego style is always what FTC is after. Its the heart of the whole line. And another important fact is DC has said Harley at some point-(of her changing looks and Design) is off limits. But there may be a another Harley Surprise coming next year. Hang tight fans!

I hope that means the limitation is on the newer DC looks, and not the old ones (the former is what it sounds like). Mattel's fan beloved DC Classics line fell flat when it appeared DC pushed for the New 52 designs to reign and the classic looks were pushed out. It makes sense for a Mego inspired line to represent the classic, rather than modern, looks of the characters. Perhaps DC Collectibles is seeing the resurgence of the retro format and wants to get in on the act? I'd be fine with that if DCC stuck to the newer looks and FTC gave us the classic stuff.

As for "new lines" that folks have mentioned, I look at those more as just a segment of the larger comic based lines. Superman, Batman, Flash, the Big Red Cheese are more like themed assortments than actual, separate lines, especially given the probability that the style will be very similar on all of them. Something like Super Friends or Bat '66 are quite distinct in their style from the standard Mego-esque stuff, so those I see as truly separate lines from each other.
