How about a "HISTORY OF ..." WGSH's series ?

Cat That was a Recast that Austin (mwgsh) did for me. He took the Head of a 1980's Imperial crown inflatable doll that I had and I thought looked a lot like Kirk Alyn and shrunk it. No easy Task the head was HUGE!!! I then sent him pics of Kirk's superman shield and he made the suit for me. which I asked for it in grey and black.

Here is a close up of my Kirk Alyn

I am in love with that suit....

Cool idea, Seems like a no-brainer that would really work. Plus it would give fans the Batman and Supes figures they always wish companies would make.

Kingdom Warrior what head did you use for your Kirk may I ask?

If licensing of likenesses was too much, I'd be up for sets similar to the Hasbro/Kenner "History of". Bob Kane Batman, Dick Sprang, Neal Adams, etc.

Great idea as an option!

I quite like my 12" set.

I would definitely love an 8" one too.

You guys make good arguments...

Reminds me of simillar thrashings I've gotten over the years for being more of
a "media" heroes fan than a "comic" heroes fan. Personally, I think one can
respect both equally.

Personally, I respect both but like most of the non comic reading world I consider the media versions THE versions.

There's a lot more people out there that seen Superman The Movie than there is that read a Superman comic.

That's not the history of these characters, that's different movie versions...this reminds of an argument that a friend and I had about real comics fans and those that come to the characters via different routes...

Different movie versions from different eras, that's history to me

The History of Superman
1. Kirk Alynn: 1948 and 1950
2. George Reeves: fifties
3. Superfriends Superman: seventies and eighties
4. Christopher Reeve: seventies and eighties

Series 2
The History of Batman
1. Serial Batman: early and late forties
2. Adam West: mid to late sixties
3. Superfriends Batman: seventies and eighties
4. Michael Keaton: 1989 and 1992

Remember the crappy 12" History of Superman figure set that came out some years ago.

I'd like to see that idea updated to fit in with the new 8" WGSH line.

Because of retro-ness, I stopped at 1990 or before.

Series 1
The History of Superman
1. Kirk Alynn
2. George Reeves
3. Superfriends Superman (figure we have now)
4. Christopher Reeve

Series 2
The History of Batman
1. Serial Batman
2. Adam West (yea right)
3. Superfriends Batman (figure being produced)
4. Michael Keaton.

Just a thought
Thanks for reading

It seems like it should be pretty easy to at least do Superman ....
Lemme splain ....

Kirk Alynn.
His likeness has GOT to be cheap.

George Reeves
So far we've NEVER seen an official George Reeves Superman action figure.
Is it because it's too expensive ? ... or nobody wants to bother ?

Christopher Reeve
Those lousy looking 12" ones that just came out ... His likeness couldn't be too expensive to obtain.

[BlackKnight]

Maybe 1 of them Supermen can come with a different color of Undies, rather than Pink.

It's a cool idea, however I would have to say it's impossibe due to the rights and likenesses. Well, not impossible, but very difficult.

I think you could do a set in the styles of different artists much easier, but it would be tough for me to narrow it down to 4. I would want Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Carmine Infantino, Neal Adams, Marshall Rogers, David Mazzucelli....well I guess I can stop in the 80's. I know I spelled a few wrong, sorry.

Now that I look at it, maybe the frost four would be fine.
