How would you want to see Mxyzptlk?

[Meule]

Actually, I'd buy a Batmite

[thunderbolt]

I like the idea of him on Our Gang size body, and then reusing it for Bat-Mite

[LonnieFisher]

NO BATMITE!!!! I would buy Gleek though!

[CrimsonGhost]

Love Myx as a character, not so much as a Mattel figure. I would want him on a dwarf like body and I can't think of any other characters who would use that body, except for Bat-Mite. And maybe Gleek. And I guess Oberon and the Tinkerer. Hmmmm.....

[samurainoir]

Wow! Really surprised at the lack of Myx love! Even with the Superfriends nostalgia.

I have to say that I wasn't ever that big on the seventies version, but rediscovered my fondness for the character when Gilbert Gottfried managed to bring him to life with his vocal talents on the nineties Superman cartoon. From there, I caught up with the antics of the more classic appearances of the little man in the purple suit... including all the Batmite stuff.

World's Funnest was great as well.


Not to mention Bizarro Comics.


No love for the Funny eh?

[bizzaro megomauler]

as a Matty exclusive on a rascals sized body.

[Orion]

I remember being sick as a kid and my dad going out to the toy store to get me a Mego. When he came back with Mxy, I was bummed beyond belief. I enjoy the figure now and appreciate it as an adult collector, but I would be shocked if Mattel had this guy lined up in their sights for an upcoming wave.

[Meule]

Oh, please no, no Mxy

[PNGwynne]

Please, Brainiac first.

Or Bizarro...Toyman...Metallo...even Parasite.

I'm in the minority here at the MM in liking vintage Mxy, but we don't need to see him again.

[palitoy]

I don't want to see him until later on in the line. Much later.

Yeah, I'd happily have this discussion around wave 15 while I was having my Animal Man fight Black Adam....

[haggis]

I'd rather have a Lois Lane.

[Mikey]

I'd rather see more heroes released than bad guys ... and Myx is very low on my bad guy want list.

[blastphemey]

i think this thread should be called " how mad would you be if you saw mattel make myxzptlk ?"

[jwyblejr]

I don't want to see him until later on in the line. Much later.

[huedell]

I wonder if they got Mxy screwed up with Toyman and that's how he ended up on a fat body?

IMO, I think they were just trying to pawn off extra fat bodies that they
had...

...or maybe they thought if they put him on a regular type 2 he wouldn't
look "impish" enough despite the more appropriate body type choice
as far as tummy/no tummy...I always wondered why Benjamin or
at least SOMEone never addressed that decision.

Incidentally, if anyone indeed DOES have a chubby 70s Myx pic...
I'll retract all that...but I've NEVER seen one, and, like I mentioned,
MEGO never even used a pic where Myx looked chubby.
