    Agreed whole heartedly! Perhaps Mattel will make accessory packs. Now that would be a step in the right direction!

    A carded set including, but not limited to the following:

    Batarang
    Batarang with attached bat line
    Shirt
    Jacket
    Pants
    Shoes

    Anyone else think this would brilliant???

    Oh well, nothing we can do about it now, but I really don't understand Mattel's reasoning

      I think flash looks good. He has a good early silver age look in my opinion. The Mattel 'thunder thighs' work for the Flash, he looks like a runner!

            Wonderful Flash--very Barry.

            I like Capt. Cold, I prefer the molded hood and he has great accessories.

            But why Mr. Freeze cuffs & boots--no plush/fleece trim?
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I agree...he's off-model. They could have done the fleece trim as part of the molded boot

                As a major Flash fan all I gotta say is YEAH! Bring em on! Love all of wave 3. Been waiting over 33 years for a Mego-like Flash. My custom from when I was 10yrs old will no longer be necessary.

                  I'm not the one to thank. Our man on the scene at Comicon is MegoScott who snapped those pics for us Megoheads stuck at home this year.

                  Having been there last year, full props to Scott. It was so crowded I could barely get at the displays to take a peek let alone snap photos.

                    I think it would be great. At least for the Batarang and Batarang with Bat-Line. The suit is a great idea but Batman's blue hands would look strange on Bruce Wayne. I love the accessory pack idea though.

                      As easy as an exclusive variant Prof Zoom would be for them, I would kind of like an original sculpt for him after seeing what they are doing with the facial expressions on this last batch (Cold's sneer, Guy Gardner's sardonic look).

                      Just imagine the kind of maniacal Ethan Van Sciver style expression they could sculpt on him!

                        Me! That's a great idea! I think it would be perfect if they would put out Variant Costume Packs...for instance, the new Sinestro could have been a Variant Costume instead of an entire figure. Variant Batman Costumes, Variant types of Batman utility belts, Gun packs, hats..the list could go on and on, make them inexpensive additions to any Retro Action figure! I love to see Mattel be all over this idea!

                          Actually its MegoScott providing the pics, creator of the Mego Museum. No slight to ScottA who is a helluva guy in his own right, but proper credit goes to MegoScott.

                              Oops. My bad! Apologies to both Scotts. I always get them mixed up since they are both mods now.

                                Flash does have a honker of a nose.It be nice if they scaled it down a bit.
