I think Austin did it already.

Did you know that Moonman had a comic book counterpart?

Cartoon version: The Moonman is a supervillain who is in reality Scott Rogers, an astronaut, and an old college friend of Bruce Wayne. But when he is exposed to the light of the full moon, he transforms into Moonman, and steals objects that came from the moon. (1)

Comic Book Version 1958: A pilot working for NASA, Brice Rogers was hurled into space as part of a mission to investigate man's endurance. During his trip around the moon he was bathed in kryptonite radiation by a passing comet, and was physiologically altered, becoming the superhuman criminal Moonman. (2)

Moonman! Yes! What is it about that wacky character that made him so uniquely memorable? Menacing eyes and no discernible mouth, for one. And he seemed more evil than the more famous tv Gotham rogues that had been distilled for 70’s children. Moonman would be awesome.

Amen to that.

From the New Adventures of Batman, I would love to see a figure of the
Moon Man. He doesn't have to glow. But that was my favorite episode of the 1977 Batman series.

That would be neat. That was the most memorable episode from that series for me.

its on the myfaceonafigure.com site, I'm sure they'd sell it if asked.

I seldom go to FTC (vs CTVT), thank you I will check it out.

[thunderbolt]

FTC has one on the face on a figure site. Whole chef oufit

[PNGwynne]

^I've wanted to do him from Friar Tuck, but I couldn't find a 1/9 chef's hat.

[thunderbolt]

I sure hope they make Simon, will save me from doing a custom.

[PNGwynne]

I have wanted a Warlock Mego since I was six yeas old!!!

(I've actually been trying to figure out a head but the casting eludes me. ) I hope FTC does him.

Excellent suggestions, filmation-fan. I'd like the Scarecrow, as well. Simon the Pieman (and his A-E? ) and Sweet-Tooth are great ideas.

[B]I never thought this would have been humanly possible. I am all excited at seeing the Filmation renditions of the DC Super Heroes in Mego form. Here are my thoughts.

SUPERMAN AND SUPERBOY: Here's hoping the head sculpts are on model. The blue on the suits was light and the red cape was like an orange like or bright red. And the capes were black on the inside. Here's hoping Superboy will have Krypto.
Villains should be Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Toyman and the Wicked Warlock.

AQUAMAN: Troy Younger made me a Filmation Aquaman figure which is a proud part of my collection. Here's hoping FTC can make the same magic with Aquaman. Hoping they make Mera, Black Manta, the Fisherman and Queen Vassa and the Brain. I hope Aqualad is available with the Aquaman set or with the Teen Titans.

DC HEROES: Here's hoping all the JLA and Teen Titans characters are made, even with the goofs like the reversed colors on Kid Flash for example. Or Hawkman's pet Skreel is part of the set.

BATMAN: I saved my favorite for last. I hope FTC makes character from both Batman toons. Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Joker and Penguin looked the same in both shows except for minor differences. Here's hoping Batman and Batgirl's bodysuits are in pale Filmation blue color. Batman has blue shorts. White circles and no eyeballs on Batman and Robin. Batman and Batgirl's capes are black on the inside. Robin's cape was a darker shade of yellow in the 1977 series. We could have both variations on Catwoman. I would want both the green and the orange costumed versions. Give us the Riddler and Simon the Pieman from 1968 and Bat Mite, Clayface and Mr. Freeze from 1977.
Despite the inclusion of Bat Mite and the sci fi storylines, I LOVE the New Adventures of Batman. Why? It was my first exposure to Batman let alone any Super Heroes or comics when I was 5. Adam West and Burt Ward's voice contributions made this toon a seller. Without them, I believe it would have been unwatchable. Plus as a kid, this Batman toon got me into buying Megos. Plus, with the exception of the wacky circus like score, I loved most of the music from the New Adventures of Batman. Sure, it's not the fan favorite, but I couldn't help that it was my first start and my first impression of Batman. Although Bat Mite was not a great idea, I loved that unlike Gleek and Wonder Dog on the Super Friends, Batman and Robin did not want him around and like us fans, considered him a pest and a nuisance. But I love both Batman cartoons by Filmation and I want to make sure they both have love and I hope both Batman toons have figures made from them. I will definitely buy the Batman figures first. Those are my two cents.
