    Think we'll see Retro Action "Civilians"?

    I would love to see an Alfred Pennyworth, Commissioner Gordon, Lois Lane, and Alter Ego set (or 3 quarters of one, anyway ). I know online ordering through Mattel is a nightmare, but it seems like MattyCollector would be a perfect venue for these.

    What do people think? Would you buy them? Who would you want to see?

    Alfred and Commissioner Gordon are way overdue. Lois Lane would be nice, too. Maybe a Perry White or Jimmy Olsen. I think these civilian figures would be great for Mattycollector.com.

    The alter-ego figures were some of Mego's coolest, most wanted figures, so it would be nice to have some kind of re-make of those ultra-rare, ultra-expensive figures, as well.

    My favorite figure from the Happy Days re-Megos is Al. Al is the coolest figure to be made yet. I love it when unexpected, supporting characters get some love. It's so ridiculous and cool, you have to buy it.

        Those are fine ideas, hopefully it'll happen.

          I sure hope so. Those characters seem more iconic to me than many of the second-tier superheroes/villains.

            A RA Jimmy Olsen would be cool.

                You know the more I think about it I could see them doing them in 2 packs. Hero / alter ego packs. That would be cool. It would give a chance to reissue a hero or do a variation with the civilian version. Probably a matty exclusive. Who knows the options seem endless.

                  I've wanted a Lois figure my whole life. I've never seen one where she isn't in a hero outfit or something. I know the Animated Series had one but I never saw her in stores.

                    I actually kind of like this idea.

                    Alfred with serving tray
                    Gordon with gun and badge
                    Lois with purse and iphone
                    Perry with newpaper

                    Not sure who else after these 4 but there's a waves worth.

                        I'd like to see Iris West as well. Dan Turpin too. There's so many from the Daily Planet and GCPD they could do too.

                          Lois & Jimmy, please. (I would want a signal watch on Jimmy)
                          It's all good!

                            Yeah, alter egos would be cool indeed! Mattel likely won't but the AE's would sure be some great (and relatively easy to make) Retro customs!!
