    I dunno, to be honest, I never even heard of Two Face until Tommy Lee Jones played him in that Batman movie.

    He might be popular now, but still not as popular as the old standards.

    See I thought Mattel's Green Arrow was much nicer then what Mego did. Whereas with Superman I didn't see much difference at all between Mego and Mattel. I thought Superman was closer to the Mego then Green Arrow was. I actually have to admit I think Mego's Superman outfit was slighter better. I didn't care for the fact his shorts on the Mattel version was about 4 shades lighter in red then the boots and cape. I did think the Mattel cape was better though.

    Oh how I'd love to see a Mattel Penguin...

    But Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy would be just as nice ;-)

I think they'll be much better. Though I admit the heads of both Mego's Joker and Penguin were easily two of the best heads Mego ever did. Mattel will have to work very hard to live up to them. I also hope Penguin by Mattel is shorter.
    If Mattel redoes them, they definitely should improve on them. If we absolutely have to get these guys again, I'm okay with getting 'variants' of them. If they're as faithful to the originals as Green Arrow was, I don't know if I'd buy. The only reason I'm buying Superman is because of the different head sculpt. The only reason I'm buying an Aquaman is the improved costume. The only reason I'm buying Batman is that the cowl is painted black on the front.

    He might have been a fourth stringer back in the sixties (but then again so was Riddler before the TV show), but you don't get featured in TWO Major Batman films (one of which is amongst the highest grossing films of all time) and not make the A-list.

    We can all bank on seeing Joker sooner than later. He's too popular.

    But as much as I love Penguin...I agree with above. Let's focus on unreleased bad guys first. I'd rather a new Scarecrow than a second Penguin.

    Yep, Eastwood was going to be the man for the part. Still like my fantasy casting of Shatner. Frank Sinatra wanted to be the Joker, but I guess Romero beat him to it. He would have been a cool Two Face, too.

    I know about the Clint Eastwood rumor, never heard about the scars tho. But as far as I've heard there never really were plans to do him

    He was considered too scary

    I would love to see Joker and Penguin in full costumes in stead of a one piece jumpsuit. I would also love to see new, never released villains like Mr.Freeze, the Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and many more. Still, we're talking Joker and Penguin here. It's almost impossible to ignore the sure succes these would have when rereleased. I think we'll probably see them before any others. All we can do, is hope the line is a huge succes and others will eventually be released
