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

      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.

          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.

              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?

                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.....

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

                        Please just let's all forget about this character and move on with our lives. There are so many Superman villians I'd rather see. How about an Alan Moore figure?

                        Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                          I would be all over a Mister Miracle packaged with an Oberon!!! Loved the DCD boxset.

                          I know he's not really much of a favourite around here and hardly "retro", but Damian Wayne-Al Ghul as Robin? Irey Park-West as Impulse? Detective Chimp?

                          Here's hoping that other licenses or partnerships give Emce a reason to tool a munchkin/child body.

                          Fantasy Island? Wizard of Oz Munchkins? The Leprechaun? Willow?

                            Okay, I honestly didn't expect anyone to want the Evil Giant Dark Mxy from Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow (he was even still wearing the bowler hat wasn't he?).


                            That would certainly be an interesting take, but I'm not sure that there really are too many interested in that particular short lived version.

                            Luthor with Brainiac's head latched onto his skull would be kind of neat though.

                                I actually like the character but think he's about as lame a figure as you can get. Shelf warmer then, shelf warmer now. Better off to concentrate on figures like Hawkman.
