DC Movie Characters as Mego top 10

[enyawd72]

Ah yes...the cross-eyed Iron Man with the obvious I.Q. of a potato that's supposed to be a genius engineer.

Oh, and he thinks the earth is flat.

What about a Mego Ezra Miller? As The Flash, but also just as Ezra Miller.

Figures based on the Burton films seem like it would be like printing money. They’d be guaranteed buys for me, anyway.

Hey. We weren't saying Universal could do an end run around Marvel, we were just saying we wished such a deal could occur. And Universal does, as of the last few years, retain some rights to the Hulk. Similar to the deal Sony has with Marvel re. Spiderman. But regardless of where the rights are ... we're all losing out due to Marvel not merching its retro properties. DC has authorized a ton of merch around Batman '66, Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, Superman '78, Batman '89, and even the 90s Flash! Come on, Marvel, get with it! Where are our comic books, figures, etc., for TV Spiderman, Captain America, and most of all, Hulk? There have never been any, and there is clearly an audience for this (hello, most of us on this forum)!

I made a custom Ferrigno Hulk. He was my very first custom and my skills have improved vastly since then (Yet I am still by no means an expert at my craft). I too, however, wish they would make an official "line" of TV Hulk figures. I would be happy with Banner and Hulk, and if we got a Jack Mcgee as well that would be the icing on the cake.

The characters are still owned by Marvel and therefore Disney. It doesn’t matter who made the show.

Yeah, you can't sneak around and make a Ferrigno Hulk without Disney's approval. Many moons ago a guy had some of the '66 Batman actor's approval to make model kits and WB super duper sued him and won.

Maybe there is some strange copyright deal that can bring on Hulk TV figures separate from a full Marvel lineup :-p

I always hoped for that too! Universal produced the Hulk TV series, and as we know, Mego has a deal with Universal. Getting the Hulk, David Banner, Jack McGee, and of course Frye's Creature would be a dream come true for this collector. But I believe the TV movies have different ownership, so Thor, Daredevil, and Wilson Fisk might be tricky. In any case, I can't believe Marvel doesn't merch its legacy the way DC does. There are new Superman '78 & Batman '89 comics being published now. Yet little to no love for Marvel's 1970s/80s TV heroes.

We've needed Reeve & Keaton for a long time, please hear the fans and make it so, Mego!! And, yes, I'd definitely buy Nuclear Man, and I'm not even kidding! I have all the Batman '66 figures I want from other companies.

It's a shame Marvel won't play ball. It's 40-plus years later, and where are my Incredible Hulk TV series figures? :(

Add these to the list for me, but then I have eclectic tastes...

1. Dick Durock as Swamp Thing
2. Adrienne Barbeau as Alice (sic Abbie) Cable
3. Tom Tyler as Captain Marvel/Shazam
4. Kirk Alyn as Superman
5. Kirk Alyn as Blackhawk
6. Noel Neill as Lois Lane
7. Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane
8, David Ogden Stiers as Martian Manhunter, just because its so absurd I need a figure of it
9. Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex (just so I can get a Hex Mego)
10. Matt Ryan as John Constantine

A box set of Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney as Batman (Batmen?) would be pretty cool as well.
