    I'd love a Garcia Lopez Super Powers era styled Superman. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. They could easily do Super Powers styled versions of Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. too since all the Retro-Action heroes are very Challenge of the Superfriends inspired.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      I wouldn't mind Batman: The Brave and the Bold Megos
      Especially since certain Batman 66 villains were featured in the show, like Bookworm, Mad Hatter, Clock King and King Tut

        The Brave and Bold concept is awesome, it covers most of the DC library of characters. I would not mind if BBP continued the line as is , one good guy - one bad guy. Just make sure the bodies are stable. BBP might have to update the characters as far as costumes with DC reinventing many of their heros in September will new 1st issues, new reimagined origion stories and new looks, Superman for instance, will no longer have the red trunks.

            If this line does continue I hope it stays way far away from the relaunch designs. I seriously don't see the need to rehash Superman or any of the others already released. Get the 6 that are prototyped and then get to more JLAer and LOD characters.

              Unless they have VERY deep pockets for all things to happen for the formally sent a proposal it is doubtful it will happen, I hate to say it, but probably true. Mattel isn't going to let their money maker go that easily.

                  Except that you have to look at it this way... BBP already has retail/distribution channels built in with Entertainment Earth, one of the largest online retail destinations for toys/collectibles. They also already have exclusive product from the big toy companies... Off the top of my head they have EE exclusive Star Wars stuff for example. And much of this stuff could also go through Diamond. Targeted at Adult Collectors (unfortunate, but true for a line billed as "Retro")

                  And Retro Action is being ended because it's NOT a Huge money maker for them... At least compared to Hot Wheels, Barbie, and the regular Batman and DCU figures they put out in 5" and 6" formats based on animated series and whatnot.
