Do you want to see Ryan Reynolds and co. in 8" retro cloth format at Toys R Us, Comic Shops or Matty Collector next year?

Hmm... maybe as some kind of exclusive. -
I think its a no brainer that they are making some sort of Movie figures, being that they are using monthly retro heroes at matty.com to promote the film."Crayons taste like purple!"Comment

I'd rather the Retro Heroes not be so mass produced. The pace that they have been released at is quite fine. Maybe a few more Matty exclusives here and there would be ok. MEGO fans want to collect all of these and appreciate them. If they are mass produced, people wont be able to buy them all and it will not be fun anymore.Comment

Guys:
Green Lantern Movie=2011
"Retro"=2011???????????????????????
LOL! Something's not right here guys...come on now. How did I know this was going to happen to this line months ago? No "new" characters! 70s only please. A movie that comes out in 2011 is hardly "retro." If they want to promote the movie, just slap those figures on non-retro cards and don't make them part of the retro set. The point of this line is already starting to get lost in these discussions like this. Or just take the "retro" out of the line's name because modeling charcaters from a 2011 movie doesn't exactly conjure up those great Mego memories of the 70s.Comment

Well how do you define the word "retro" when referencing a Megoesque toy line? You're on the wrong toy board if you think the 70s were boring. That was Mego's glory decade. As far as them agreeing with me, we'll see how good the sales are on Guy Garnder and the yellow Sinestro. I know I'm definitely not buying them.Comment

I define retro the way it applies to these figures, and that is the style of figure: 8" doll with fabric clothes. It does not, and should not, apply to the license.
You misquoted me. I said having 70's only (and I even made "only" in all caps but you still missed it.) would be boring. I love stuff from the 70's, but I would like to see stuff I love from the 80's, and on and on. In fact, I'm just glad these companies don't feel they need to put limits on what they can produce.Last edited by CrimsonGhost; Jul 25, '10, 11:20 AM.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

I would like to see a movie "retro" GLComment

Ah, I see. Makes sense. Perhaps it's me then that is wrong in assuming that "retro" referred to the character choices as well. Perhaps "retro" is indeed intended to describe the style of toy and not the character itself. Interesting...
Either way there is absolutely no way I am dropping $20 a pop on these GL exclusives. I just could care less about any other Green Lanterns except Abin Sur and Hal Jordan in a Megoesque line...but that's just me I guess.Last edited by LOU; Jul 25, '10, 12:30 PM.Comment

Nope! Not really interested in many movie figures beyond Star Wars, Star Trek or Indy.Comment

Not so much. I'm more interested in Mattel focusing on DC Universe characters and continuing with more Waves.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment
Yeah, great way to put it..."keep retro retro". Seems simple enough to me my friend.
