    Short shorts is my preference, but I'm not so sure I wanna see those noodle-shaped Mattel legs in bare olive green. Maybe they could go the Mego Tarzan route for the legs.

      I think it would have to be green leggings if they went that route. Really can't see them going with the speedos like the original Robin, but I guess you never know.

        I'm a BIG fan of Classic Silver Age Brainiac....shorts, green legs and all. And if you're pairing him up, Supergirl is a natural.

          Classic Silver Age/Superfriends style or don't even bother making it.

            I vote for classic look, but with green leggings.

              Classic Super Friends Brianiac, like Brian posted and he can be matched with Clark Kent.

                From what I can tell they are going with the "Challenge of the Superfriends" for the figures they have made and shown already. So watch that and see what the new figures will probably look like and who they most likely be. Pink and green Brainiac is what I'm thinking.

                    Interesting that there are some that want a Robot Skull Brainiac ala Super Powers. I would really be curious how that could be accomplished with a Mego-type figure... Robotic Patterned one piece suit with unique hands and legs ala the New Gorn? It would certainly fit the aesthetic of Thing and Torch.

                        You really can't do a skull Brainiac on a traditional Mego body. You's have to make him like the Terminator toys from the early 90's.

                        Although I guess that kind of defeats the point of a Re-Mego retro cloth outfit other than having that Brainiac in scale with the others. Better to stick with Green lite-bright head pink outfit in that case.
