If they make batman

[toystalker]

some batman stuff has flopped cos the toys have been crap
stick to the old skool and you cant go wrong

this is supposed to be a classic line
so make batman in classic guise and it will sell sell sell

>we all know the second wave is going to be strictly Sugar and Spike driven anyway.

*ahem* Howzabout some Sam Simeon and Angel O'Day? With a bit of Space Cabbie for good measure.

Batman.... feh!

Yeah, you're probably right Paul.....maybe Booster Gold instead?

Poor Booster Gold - he gets no respect. But Booster has the type of outfit that would fit the "Mego" feel - bright colors and easy to do.

You laugh at Sugar and Spike - but when comics were sold at newstands,
not geek man caves - that comic sold better than the top selling comics
today!

Of course, at 12 cents each, a lot of comics sold better.

[JediJaida]

Uh...what year WAS that exactly?

Cuz my very earliest comics from the early 70's were all at least 25 cents, so it had to have been in the 50's.

BTW, what version of the Joker are you going to use?

DC's, Jack Nicholson's, or the other guy?

Well, then, it's high time for a Sugar and Spike renaissance! Mattel/Mego action figures, video games, cartoons... a live-action Hollywood blockbuster starring Rene Zellwiger and Jack Black, with Keenan Thompson as Raymond, and Megan Fox as Bernie the Brain (who was a boy in the comics, but there's always gotta be SOMETHING for the fanboys to get in a heated discussion over when you make a comic-related movie!)!

Get Mr. Abrams on the phone - it's GOLD I tells ya!

P.S. I remember 12 cent comics. I also remember 10 cent comics. And 8-track tapes. Now get off my lawn before I turn the hose on ya! (shakes cane)

True, but that was almost 25 years ago. By Crom, man, the public's beginning to forget!!!

I love the episode of JLU that features him. My girlfriend does too. Actually, anytime I do something for her she says "Thank you Green Lantern" in the same annoying way that kid did it in the show. I then reply "FOR the last time I am NOT Green Lantern!" and she laughs her head off...

Actually, he'd be an awesome Mego. I might have to make one. Booster Gold that is. Not Green Lantern. I hear they got that covered :D

[Meule]

Or a Kryptonite ring, so we can start yet another Supes/Batman debate j/k

I think Hec and I've gone head to head quite enough for now

[Meule]

I don't know if we will ever get to him - he's really a minor character in the
DC Universe.

But if you guys really think that Bat Man will be popular, I can ask the
guys at Mattel to consider him for a future wave.

I think you might sell one or two of him

[Meule]

I thought wave 2 was Batman, Joker, Flash,& Capt. Cold?

Where did you get that info?

Don't think Nicholson or Ledger will be it. None of the others have actor likenesses.
Besides, it'd cost an arm and a leg to do so

Pretty sure they were in Kingdom Come, not to mention Ambush Bug.
