    Would you want to see Young Justice in Retro Format?

    With Young Justice becoming an animated series, I think it would be cool to see these guys as Retro figures from Mattel... it would be a great chance for Mattel to tool up a Teen sized body (so that we can get some actual Retro Titans)!

    Oh, definitely! Even though I'm not up on who everyone is, I'd LOVE to see these characters in Retro format.

    Provided they work out the issues with the bodies, of course.

    And the costumes aren't shoddily sewn.

        Yes Yes these aren't new characters, most of them qualify as Retro

            I would. I love all those characters (the ones I'm familiar with anyway). I'd want classic Young Justice (Robin/Tim Drake, Superboy, and Impulse/Bart Allen).

              Honestly, there's a lot more I'd like to see before they got to most of these. However, I think it would do the show good.

                Well, this would be a total pass for me---I just have no connection to those characters. Now if it were Superboy (young Clark Kent), Robin (Dick Grayson), Aqualad (Garth), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Speedy (Roy Harper) I'd love it!!

                I'd much rather see some Legionnaires be made for the teen bodies: if Mego had continued into the 80s, Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes was at one point DC's top seller and would have been a good follow-up to the Teen Titans.

                  I really think they need to stick to classic characters. I mean they are called the Retro Action line. I don't consider these retro. I'm sad we are getting a modern age Sinestro already in year 2 of this line. DC Direct gives enough attention to the modern age of DC. I would have no interest in anything modern in this 8" cloth style. Not even Harley Quinn and I'm a huge Bat-fan.

                      If we get Teen Titans first and maybe these guys somewhere down the road,I've got no problem with that.

                        They need to stick to the main characters first (or as close as possible) before they go in all directions

                            It always fascinates me that so many interpret an addition of other "brands" for the Retro Cloth line to be at the expense of additions to the retro Superheroes line.

                            My understanding is that they already have their schedule of characters to be released for the next couple of years. "Modern" characters like Sinestro in his yellow Corps uniform and Guy Gardner are like Bonus characters we are getting from MattyCollector IMHO as we ramp up for the GL movie.

                            My thinking is that they are going to be making Young Justice and Green Lantern movie "brand" action figures anyways. Why can't they give the retro format a try in addition to whichever other format appears? (which I'm going to assume to be in line with the 3 3/4" figures everyone else is putting out right now). It's not like Retro Ghostbusters takes away from Retro Superheroes for example.

                              If they make so much as just ONE of these characters, so help me God, I will sell every last one these "RETRO" heroes and swear off the line. They're unpopular peg warmers, just like Impulse and Superboy were to the JLA line...why you guys are even bringing up these weird and, in my opinion, lame heroes out of 70 years of GREAT and original comic book heroes is beyond me. I mean "Young Justice?"...as I said, I think Impulse and Superboy were still hanging on K-B's pegs until they closed. Bad, bad, bad idea in my humble opinion. I'm still nauseated over the Yellow Sinestro and Guy Gardner Green Lantern...this would surely kill me.

                              Ammendment:
                              Oh there's going to be a Young Justice movie? Then I change my stance...somewhat...put them on their own cards and segregate them from the "Retro" line...as I said they should do with the movie Green Lantern figures.
