      Though I will say magnetic hands aren't too bad. Though I'd rather have them as an extra that I could swap in.

      Glow in the dark - maybe, but I can't imagine any figure that would be improved by it. Maybe Gentleman Ghost, since he's all white anyway.
      i hate action features as well . unless it doesnt mess up the figures sculpt and poseability. Super Powers hawkman was good .

        The Spectre, Deadman, Klarion the Witchboy, Etrigan the Demon, Doctor Fate, Doctor Mid-Nite, Blue Devil, Kid Devil, Soloman Grundy, Chemo, could all have glow in the dark body parts of accessories that fit with their characters.

        The Ghostbusters proton packs and guns, Slimer, and whatever ghosts they face off against (or were packaged with as accessories).

        For the Venture Brothers... glowing spell hands for Doctor Orpheus.

        Universal Monsters? With Glow features? No question! Awesome.

          Glow in the dark parts would make the most sense and Mattel just has to change the plastic used in the already made molds...so there wouldn't be any screw ups.

              Glow in the dark! WOOOOO!!!!!

              >For the Venture Brothers... glowing spell hands for Doctor Orpheus.

              ....or for Phantom Limb. And didn't the ghost pirate glow too? (And the shuttle pilot?)

                  Do you really think we'll ever see a Klarion Retro-Action figure from Mattel?

                    Speaking of glow-in-the-dark stuff, Mattel missed an opportunity with Green Lantern and Sinestro - GITD power rings and batteries!

                    Also, Luthor came with a shard of kryptonite, and that accessory was made for GITD.

                    Sad panda. :(
                    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                          I think I would just like to see them come w/ cool accessories: Batman w/ a Batarang and rope, Wonder Woman w/ a Golden Lasso. Though I will say, I would LOVE the BBP's TZ Talky Tina doll to come w/ a sound chip and push button action to play June Foray's voice: "My name is Talky Tina and I love you very much."
                          "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
