raydeen said what I was thinking.
I know. I know. Eventually, I'll have to say that I've
typed "only Bronze Age" enough
That aside. I can understand if a year or two
down the road MATTEL dabbles with newer looks/variant looks
for their retro line---but man it'd be cool to get MANY
characters that look as if they jumped off the comicbook pages
and style guides of 1973-1982 or whenever it was
Mego was pumping out the WGSHs"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

They would have to recreate the Munchkin/Our Gang kids bodies to do Carrie Robin.Comment

As much as I love Neal Adams Joker on the page, I think it might be too much of a caricature to translate as a Mego-like head. Would it feel "Mego-ey" next to the other figures?

One thing I would like to see on the Joker. Real pants, shirt and vest. Not just a screen printed leotard.
Ditto Penguin.Comment

I like Neal Adams Batman look the best. The only thing you need to think about is how impossible it would be to find a 70's Mego Batman that didn't have the ears chewed or ripped off if they made them long originally. For the new ones, no big deal because collectors will keep a bunch safe and unmolested. I think Mego did it right the first time and I will be happy with whatever they decide for the Retro ones.sigpic "It's like you're unravelling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting..."Comment

MEGO Batman and would have loved a replica of him---but alas this is not a
replica line, so AFAIC the floodgates have been opened to make these look
more "comicy" and less "playtoyey". GO for it MATTEL"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive.

As far as the Joker head sculpt is concerned, I actually like the original. I would like to see them work off of the original and maybe make subtle changes like they did with Green Arrow in order to get around the artist infringement thing. I hope they try and stay with the same basic head sculpts for all the original characters (excluding Batman- he needs long ears) with only small tweaks.
Even though I love the screen print costume of the original because of the nostalgia, I would like to see a seperate pants/ vest / coat look.Firefighter/Mego CollectorComment

YES! My favorite Bats is FM Dark Knight.
Wish they made the comics into an animated series.
Long ears, pouches, black logo and black and grey suit with long cape.
Although blue is favorite color I would like to see more black and grey and less blue on batman lines but retro style.
