    I would think that if Hasbro made 8" retro style figures of not just Marvel heroes, but Star Wars and GI Joe as well that the risk would be smaller for them, after all if one line did not sell well the bodies could be used for the other lines, and I can't imagine that 8" Star Wars wouldn't sell, even Hasbro was surprised that the Star Wars lines stayed as strong as they did after Episode III had come and gone and there were no new movies on the horizon.

      I can't discuss any details. When everything is over, I will write a book
      and tell all.

      Trust me - we are not idle.

      As for oven mitts - I always hated them because it kept Batman from
      holding a rope or a batarang. Even Mr. Fantastic's plastic gloves
      prevent him from holding the Ultimate Nullifier!

          Awesome, sounds promising. I agree.. as much as the oven mitts are total nostalgia, I think a lot of people today would see them as W T F.

              I'm sure we will be delighted and shocked at eventually seeing all the near misses, pitches and prototypes that have or will flow cross the Emce workbench!

              I just wish I could hop the Delorean now and get a peak at what lies in those vaults!

                    Any toy company these days ONLY has the rights to characters within a size-range OR a style, or a style and size-range.

                    Hasbro has Marvel rights for "action-figures" in various sizes (not sure all)
                    Art Asylum has Marvel rights for the mini-mates
                    Marvel Select for figures above the HASBRO scale rights
                    Bowen Design for MARVEL statues
                    Moebius Models for model kits, in certain scales
                    Mattel for Marvel Barbie (they did have)
                    Etc, etc.

                    It works the same for other brands too.

                      Read our lips: there will never be oven mitts on our EMCEs.

                            Collectors that are familliar with anything EMCE has done since they started
                            would be shocked "W T F" as EMCE've been putting out product for years
                            and haven't done it yet.

                              I think the Andorian gloves work very well. Both of them are "open" hand gloves... They can come up with one "fist/closed hand" glove and release for each gloved figure one and one.
