    Any chance we could get figures based on The adventures of Superman TV series?

    With the sad news of Noel Neill's passing, it got me thinking. To the best of my knowledge, no one has made figures based on this classic show. I would love to see a line done by FTC, even if it were just the core characters. Kent, Lane, Olsen, White, Henderson, Superman (of course) and maybe a few of the more outlandish baddies.

      Sad to hear about Noel Neill she was the 1st screen Lois Lane and the definitive to many.

      I'd love a FTC Adventures of Superman 8" figure Line!

      George Reeves Superman color and B&W costumes
      Reeves Clark Kent
      Noel Neill and Phyllis Coates versions of Lois Lane
      Jack Larson Jimmy Olsen
      Perry White
      Inspector Henderson

      That's 8 figures for 2 waves

      Of course I want the 1st 2 Christopher Reeve Superman movies, too!

        I would be all in regarding buying figures from the Superman TV show and Superman motion pictures. I never got around to affording a CR Hot Toys Superman so I'd love to own one of Reeves and Reeve as Superman and their cast/ensemble as sculpted by the talented FTC go-to-guy: DFA.

          I think those would be enticing lines to go after, I just don't know how profitable paying the estates for likeness would be once you assess demand. I think it definitely merits a look because I honestly think the Mego lines only thrive on vintage licensing. I haven't seen allot of success when the markets have tried to branch into newer brands. It would be fun to see a television series of heroes. My God. Could you imagine if they got the Marvel license for that? Oh wow...

            Batman '66 was tied up in the fight between rival studios (Fox and WB), a problem the original Supes series apparently isn't saddled by, as there were episodes released on DVD. I think, though, there would have to be a package deal like with Bat '66. where the WB does the work getting the likeness sign-offs and such as part of the license. I don't think that exists right now for the 50's series, though I would love a set of figures based on the show. I grew up on the original Supes series in syndication in the 70's, so it will always be an important part of the whole Superman mythos to me.

                I think it would be very cool to have an Adventures of Superman FTC line, if it gets done?
                I'm in for sure.

                  Now I know Reeves and Carter likenesses have been made into merchandise but has anyone actually made licensed Reeves merchandise like statues or busts?

                  Just wondering where the likeness rights lay, he didn't have kids but he must have had family.

                    And if Gal Gadot can get so many Wonder Woman figures in a year it's high time for official Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV figures after 41 Years!

                      I keep hoping for some decent figures based on literature.

                      Some decent Sinbad figures would be nice; or a Robin Hood that LOOKS like Errol Flynn.
