    What Toys Are you Buying ?
    Since when does a Neca Figure Have More Articulation that a DCUC ?
    Lower Price ? ... They Cost the Same ?
    I have a Ton of Neca Figures, and While I do Enjoy them..., this Whole Statement is Inaccurate.

      Cool! Hopefully it will work out. I remember NECA wanted to continue the 2002 MOTU line but Mattel would only let them do those inarticulated Stactions.
      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 give my vote for Big Bang Pow to continue the RA figures, it would be awesome and I offer my full support.

              It would almost be too good to be true if Bif Bang Pow could take over the RA line. I would support them 100%.

                Wow! How amazing would that be?
                A DC WGSH line that would be handle in the real spirit of MEGO,
                instead of some toy company comglomerate who seems be haunted by the 'ghost' of an old advisary who just refuses to go away.

                BBP, my thoughts and prayers go with you!

                      Now this is exciting. Better bodies, more accessories, more detail and better customer care... here's hoping Mattel says yes

                        Let's assume for a minute Mattel actually says yes... would you pick up where Mattel stopped or completely reimagine this line and start from scratch? With better looking cards in stead of the retro look for instance?

                            starting from scratch would be counter productive.....if Mattel wants their bodies used they would have to be fixed (body shape......Mattel's call....female bodies are just fine).....different packaging and a mix of modern characters thrown in (to engage other folks)....remember if Mattel would let this happen,they still control a lot of things....Bif Bang Pow has to make them happy in the end

                              I dunno. If I had the license, I would think I would want to still carry heavy hitters like Batman and Superman. Batman would be no problem. There was lots of debate on the Museum about what style of Batman to produce. I bet because you could do a costume variation and people would love it. Superman would be tougher to convince fans to buy yet another Mego-ish Superman... but he is Superman, so surely he would still sell well.

                                Multiple Batman and Superman are never the problem... Witness how many different variations are in every single towline they inhabit. Although for retros I would assume that artist based variations like with DCD (adult collectors) would be better than concept based ones like with JLU or Brave and Bold which are aimed at kids.

                                Who of our age wouldn't want a more Neal Adams/Marshal RogersBatman? I'd hope for a Curt Swan Superman. Or dare we dream.. Christopher Reeve
