A teary eyed look back at your favourite DC Retros

[rodkeith]

It's fantasy at this juncture, but I also think a Hawkman/Brainiac/Batgirl/Catwoman wave would've done very well. I can see there's a tipping point popularity-wise for character selection for the Retros, but I think the selection above would've still been on the profitable side for Mattel.

Beyond that, what would've realistically been left for Mattel to offer that would sell well to more than just we collectors? Maybe a wave with variant costume Batman (by which I mean a Golden Age or Modern Age version, or possibly non-removeable cowl)/Scarecrow/Black Canary/Riddler (or Poison Ivy). Still, would've been nice.

The six that Doc mentioned as been done as far as prototypes would have done much better sales wise than the poorly planned GL wave. Hope they still manage to get done.

I sure hope so. I would buy Robin,Joker and Supergirl instantly. Hopefully Hawkman can be finished and released as well as he's probably the #1 want by most people here. Batgirl PLEASE!!!

a chance for new retros? bring 'em on!

Big thanks for keeping us fans informed, Doc Mego!

As with Vina and Chapel, glad to hear there's still a slim possibility. It'd be a shame not to at least get out Robin, Joker, Supergirl and Bizarro. And I can't see why those wouldn't sell well.

(Especially the last two-- as Bizarro's never been done and Supergirl would add a new blonde female for custom purposes.)

Yeah I think a retro Bizarro would be most specially cool, and seems to me it wouldn't be too hard to tweak the existing Supes mold for him.

I can't discuss any specifics,but we are hoping something can be arranged.

I think a lot of people were surprised by the sudden announcement of
cancellation. Hopefully we will know something before the end of the
year.

There's actually a few I still need but I though the Cheetah was the overall best figure, no flaw to mention. Hard to pick a favorite but Luthor was the only I bought at retail as I felt it was missing from the original line. Being a big Legion of Doom fan I can't even express the satisfaction of adding five more members to the existing Mego Riddler. That was the true highlight for me.

After my post over on the Vina / Chapel thread, Thanks again Paul for giving us a little hope. You are really making my night by giving us a little hope with your posts this evening. I think it would really be a shame if we didn't get at least Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Spectre. I won't hold my breathe for The Creeper, Swamp Thing or any more New Gods but I can dream. Even if they were only internet exclusives, higher priced and very limited I think there are enough people here interested in the above mentioned characters ( and a few others like Robin that some people really want ) to sell them out.

I loved every figure that came out. I have to say that this line got me back into mego style figures. The suits and headsculpts were all awesome. I thought Captain Cold was the sleeper for this series. This figure really made the character look cool and sarcastic. I'm excited about Kyle coming out and deeply regret that there may be no further characters, vehicles or playsets. If they did a batmobile I would have a stroke! Help us Dr. Mego you're our only hope.

I liked them all. I really wish the line had not ended. I guess it's officially over though huh? I mean they said sales of Ray's GL would be the make or break the future releases. Still I can't see why the last 6 that they have made and are ready to go can't be put on matty.com. I would jump at Robin,Supergirl and Joker. Wish Hawkman would have gotten to final stages. Batgirl too:^(

Had no intrest in gettin the Black Manta the pink package was weird too, anyway I picked one up I have all the figures he is my favorite and next would be the Flash which i still havent opened but I'm thinking about doing it right now.

[Bones]

Couple more additions, and my new rankings are:

1. The Flash
2. Wonder Woman
3. Captain Cold -- suprisingly good!
4. Lex Luthor
5. Black Manta
6. Green Lantern Hal Jordan
7. Superman
8. Aquaman
9. Sinestro -- the boots are this one's best quality

Looking forward to Black Adam in a week or so. Still need Cheetah.

I'm late in coming to this line, but I really dig Lex and Black Manta. Manta's breathing apparatus was very nicely done. So glad they made a good number of villains for this line!

A few additions since, I can say:

#1: The Flash. Just love how this figure was done. 5 stars all around!

#2: Wonder Woman. They reallly knocked it out of the park on this one.

#3: Lex Luthor. Still impressed.

#4: Black Manta.

#5: Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Compliments my Mego Green Arrow nicely.

#6: Superman. Like the colors and the suit, but vintage Supes looks better.

#7: Aquaman.

Waiting on Sinestro to arrive. Hope to pick up Captain Cold this weekend, and hopefully Cheetah soon after.
