Great! CTVT could really give themselves some exposure with these guys. I do agree the bodies on earlier series arent the best but I still think they are pretty good figures overall. (a dr mego body helps) The Robin Hood figures are some of my favorites by them. This will probably outdo anything theyve done before though.Comment

I just hope that they did not spend all of their money on the licensing and will have to revert to using the original CTVT bodies.Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009

This is quite the unexpected and happy surprise!
I will get the 8" for sure. I hope they do well enough to come out with more of the era costumes.
Did anyone else notice their names are not used? The catman and spaceman look like Tommy and Eric. I want a Dynasty era Ace, is all I will saymego's befo ho'sComment

I noticed that these 12 inchers were manufactured in China and not India. Hopefully that will ensure some type of quality control.
I did not see that that the 8" figures were China made.
I fear the worst for the 8."
But hey, cool that they're back in the game.Comment

I'm not much of a KISS fan, but I really do think these figures look great. I'm hoping I can use the new CTVT 12" body to repair a few of my 12 inch Megos.
I think this is great news. OK CTVT Bring on the new 12" Fonz figure that Mego thought about making back in the late 70's.Comment

Why couldn't they update them and make them look more detailed. It was nice to bring them back but update them with better sculpt and outfits. They look too cheesy to me. But sorry guys with Hot Toys, DID and Sideshow making great looking figure these Kiss figures would look out of place on my shelves. Look at Mattel they made retro Super Hero figures (great Idea) but what I hear is line is canceled. That is because they looked too cheesy and cheap looking. Mattel didn't want to spend any money making them for today's standards. Today's collectors are spoiled with toy companies making life like figures. I look at them as knock offs of a company the made cheap figures. And that was Mego. Dont get my wrong. I love Megos. I have about 150 of them in my collection. But that was 1970's and there wasn't much action figures then. Today is another world in collectingComment

^^^^ Either you like the Megoish retro style or you don't. Real simple. To expect a line called retro heroes to have modern design and sculpts is really not too bright. They wouldn't have called 'em that if they weren't going to look like that. What killed the line was poor distribution and QC, and probably poor character selection with the GL wave.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

there was a production blog type link early in one of the announcement threads that showed a couple of pics of the unpainted heads. I would assume they sculpted large and then shrunk down and used the same sculpt for both sizes of figure. They were marked as Tommy and Eric and certainly did not look like Peter or Ace unpainted.
