Announced Figures

[jeffbearco]

Added the Monkees and the Vans!

-The Monkees 8 Inch Action Figures in Blue Band Outfit: Set of Four (Available for Pre-order)
-Vehicles
---Batman’s Mobile Bat Lab with prison garb Penguin (Available for Pre-order)
---Gotham City Prisoner Transport with prison garb Joker (Available for Pre-order)
---Metropolis Mobile News Room with Clark Kent/Superman (Available for Pre-order)
---Teen Titans Beach Cruiser Van with Wonder Girl First Appearance (Available for Pre-order)

If these vans sell well, I can't help but think that the Monkees will have a van soon and a return to the JokerMobile! Hoping for an upgraded Joker with trenchcoat for that one.

I will say that I'm surprised that Superman is coming with the older glasses instead of one of the newer sets.

Also, with Wonder Girl in a lose fitting outfit, can the First Appearance Wonder Woman be far behind? If you can get Wonder Girl in a bag separate, I'll probably get her. I held back on getting the TT WG hoping they redo her on the 8" body.

I wonder if Superboy is on the teen body. Or on the slim body to match Capt Marvel Jr..

Also, can a teen Clark Kent be far behind?

I'd have to say Ma Kent is probably my favorite of this group. Then Lex Luthor as a close second.

^^^ My feeling is those sets will not come out together just because they were announced about the same time. I think that was just company news for the many who have been asking what's around the corner for the KISS series. I'm sure it will be Destroyer soon and then a few months later (maybe around Christmas) Dynasty. I for one have been happy with the KISS line but I feel confident in saying it was the success of the Alive series that kept the boat afloat. I think the Sonic Boom and Monster series were poor sellers and had Alive followed a similar trajectory, that would have been it. I'm pretty sure they had to renew the license to continue the series they have planned, so I think that's why allot of consideration and careful planning had to be factored in here.

Wait, why would FTC release both Dynasty (die-nasty) and Destroyer along with 18in Love Gun figures all in 1 year? Wouldn't that saturate the market to death? Its going to be rough to try selling Dynasty and Destroyer all at once, we have waited over 2 YEARS for KISS figures since Alive 1. I cannot and do not count Dressed to Kill since those were the same as Alive 1. I hope they push the 18in Love Gun for 2017 instead. You also have the Superfriends,Wonder Woman and so many breathtaking lines coming up to compete with. Its one incredible year and our wallets will be hurting this fall. Im more anxious about Dynasty but that's just me, I can wait on Destroyer getting pushed back. KISSquTourbookUnmasked5.jpgKISSquTourbookUnmasked5.jpgKISSquTourbookUnmasked5.jpg

I was wondering if there are any more plans for more 18 inch heroes or if that is a dead line? I would buy two Batman figures if they did the RC version. Wouldn't it be crazy if they put him on a Kresge card in that scale?

I actually really like the prototypes for the Teen Titans figures and even Shazam. But I'm going to wait and see what they look like when people start posting pictures of them.

Curious if Nightwing's mask is molded or just painted on. It seems to be a really good, in scale sculpt. If so, it would make sense to use the same sculpt and just paint on a different mask for an 8" teen Robin variant. It would also be GREAT if they used the 66 Robin vest and cape with standard trunks and shoes and the molded gloves. That would make an awesome combination!

Never knew about the EC RC Batman. Thank you! In all honesty, I expected Toycade to come up with that one.

It just popped up today in the MM Newsletter. I was going to post, but didn't want to step on anyone's toes by accident.

[Your pal, Jim]

Thanks for doing this, Jeffbearco. I refer to this list all the time.

[jeffbearco]

I did not realize it had been released the first time, only on pre-order.

I'll remove it.

I have the 12 inch KISS Blood Demon release. That sold out. Is that being re-released? Did I read that right?

[jeffbearco]

Half way through the year so I've cleaned up the list again and dumped all of the old messages.
