Classic Teen Titans or The New Teen Titans?

[samurainoir]

So we pretty much already have a full set of the original Teen Titans produced for the original line (although they are pricey), with only a Titans sized Robin missing from this set.

Would you prefer that they redid the original team (perhaps with Donna in her original outfit?).

Or do you want to see Wolfman and Perez's New Teen Titans from the eighties instead?

[MIB41]

I would love to see the Perez Teen Titans. You know we never really got a Robin Teen Titan. Not in the 8 inch scale anyway. To me they should have always been 8 inches. After all Robin the Boy Wonder is 8 inches tall, right? So how could he shrink becoming the Teen Wonder? To me this falls under the idea of fixing what Mego did wrong. Make them regular scale and include Robin as the Teen Wonder.

I'd love to see both (obviously), but the originals'll always be near and dearest.

Keeping them all at 7" is just fine for me.., adding variety to the line and a more realistic scale next to their 'mentors'.

To me there is no "true 7 inch scale" that denotes youth. If Mego felt that way, they should have made Robin in the 7 inch scale. So technically speaking, Robin the Boy Wonder is a mistake.

[JDeRouen]

But the Mego Teen Titans weren't really in scale. Real-life teens aren't that small in comparison to adults.

I say keep it Classic as in "RETRO Action" Now if mattel later starts a "Current Action" line then I say go with the new looks. The more we keep going off the beaten path the further away from "Mego" we are getting.

Our guiding light has been "What if MEGO never closed its doors and kept going
in the 8 inch format?" They would have known about the popularity of X-Men
and Teen Titans in the early '80s and added them to the lines.

Would they have made the new Titans in the same scale as the '77 original
Titans?

YES!

I'd pass on any Titans. I see more success for Mattel pursuing the Super Friends and JLA characters.

[rlkrefft]

I tend to agree. I can do without the Teen Titans. I want Robin for sure...Nightwing would be nice as well. I'd just rather see the JLA all done first. I personally won't buy any Teen Titans if they are 8" tall. Teens should be smaller then adults. I don't know what comics you guys were reading but even in the 80's Robin and Wonder Girl were shorter then say Batman and Wonder Woman. I have never seen a comic where Robin was as tall as Batman. So far Mattel has done pretty good in making all the outfit designs much better then Mego (with the bodies as an exception,Mego did better there) so why mess it up by making 8" teenagers? 7 and a half inches even is o.k. but 8" just seems wrong. Scale should be taken into consideration more.

I'd love to see the Titans in 8" size. Any and all, new and old. The 7" Megos can be the Pre-Teen Titans!

Bring 'em on. A Mego Vac metalized chrome Cyborg would be cool! Old, new, and maybe even current....Make 'em all!!

[Brue]

I think it would make sense to make them like this:

I would sell them in pairs.

They could be done as old and new combos or mentor combos

1960's (64-73) Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad along with Wondergirl and later Speedy


I'd like to see mentor two packs as seen here-

I wouldn't do Speedy. If I had to drop another it would be AL.

Or
original 4 in 7 inch with the same four in 8 inch (basically the same outfits except WG maybe do Nightwing for the 8 inch Rob)

1970's (76-78)
WG new costume


I think it would be fun to add the Guardian with Speedy in 8 inch as possible chase figures.



New Teen Titans 80s (and 90's)
Robin, WG, KF, Changeling (aka beast boy),Cyborg, Starfire and Raven.
2 2 packs:
changling and starfire 7 inch
changeling and raven 7 inchers

[Nostalgiabuff]

actually I would not mind seeing the more adult Titans of teh eighties, same scale as the adults characters.....how about Nightwing in his Disco getup? Cyborg was discussed in another thread. Beastboy I always thought was a boring character but Starfire would work.

[Meule]

Either style is good for me, as long as we get Robin
