BATMAN discussion

[loosiegoosie]

I think EVERYONE should chill and just see how they fall. Making huge lists on things everyone wants , 40 posts about them coming out or even the creators baiting everyone with hints is counterproductive. The focus should be on the fact they are coming out from a proven toy company that will put both the finances and power behind it to create a great final product.

... but don't
try to push us in the direction you want, or I'll turn this car
right around.

Not quite sure what that means.

I agree that the Bat's post definitely "fooled" people at least on the way in and that's not helpful.

Your comments, Doc, do raise more questions, I think. Would you feel threatened or "pushed" if the members here post threads that are like preference polls (for style) of different characters? I mean, you DID say that the museum is your focus group, right? Would those be considered getting helpful potential customer input from us or "pushing" you??

Please clarify what you believe we should be able to do (apart from the Bat's little masquerade, of course).

We certainly don't want to "push" but there is a lot of helpful input here, I think, at least to gauge customer preference, if nothing else. I don't want to misread you but I'd like to know where you are appreciative of input/opinion and where you think you are being "pushed."

Thanks in advance.

Prototype

Technically, he didn't label it as your product, he referred to it as "Batman Prototype"; however, I agree that posting it in the EMCE area was wrong, and probably designed to give that impression. I know when I clicked on the topic, I assumed that was the case.
Please folks, lets not ruin a good thing before it gets started; respect Doc's wishes and let him reveal what he can when he can.

I think a lot of people thought that given the title of the thread,
and I don't appreciate it.

When we are allowed to show more samples we will, but don't
try to push us in the direction you want, or I'll turn this car
right around.

Suggestions are one thing - I am glad to hear opinions - but
this is the second time you posted your custom and labeled
it our product. Stop.

I like it. Until I went backwards in the thread I actually thought this was the EMCE prototype and thought "I'm all over that!"

Simply Outstanding..!! THAT'S what would have been the coolest Mego back in the day.

If Mattel remakes Bats, this is the standard. Would LOVE to see a similarly accurate Robin and Batgirl..!

I like the idea of an Adamsesque new WGSH Batman head. Actually, I thought the 12-inch magnetic Batman head was cool & might also serve as inspiration. There're some PEZ heads that are in Adam's style, too.

But I'm so not into cowl shading. I mean, it's OK for the '60s & SuperFriends, but it's not great for a '70's-style WGSH Batman. Personally, I never think of classic Batman with that painted shading.

And let's not forget how Mego ruined Capt. America with that awful deco.

It would be great if there was both a removable cowl and molded cowl batman and robin (mask) were released, so that everyone would be happy.

My friend you are 1000% right. That will be very good for all interested.

I hope the designs stick to the Bronze Age, Mego era, at least until we get through the main characters. And then if we proceeded time-wise accordigly (like Firestorm and then later on Diso-Nightwing) that would be cool.

Neil Adams Batman is over 30 decades old. I would like a blacker Batman with shorter ears and pouches for a utility belt. Your figure looks pretty damn awesome but if I were to have a new Batman, I would want the modern look. Just my two cents.

Man, that's old. Judging by the first wave we are going to get classic looks to characters reflecting what Mego did. Hopefully that means no modern characters...Nightwing, Eradicator, Jim Balent style Catwoman, etc.

[The Bat]

Exelllent Bstman. Now that it's been brought up, I wonder if the cowl on the new figure will be removable.
It was mentioned on the other thread that one of the things Mego shouldn't have changed was the removavble cowl.

My opinion is NO removable Cowl, They always look too big. BTW Brian...I'm sure you know that's your Costume.

[Meule]

I'd be very happy if the new Batman looked like that
