You can add The Dark Crystal, Back to the Future, Terminator 2 and The Universal Monsters to Super7's list. Also being that this merited a post on Galactic Hunter.com, a hardcore Star Wars Page, you know that the folks at Hasbro have been watching this as well as Zica's Bionic Man!

Just for fun - what other 3 3/4 inch lines do you want to grow your Zica Universe?

I actually shared this info on the ZICA Facebook page when I found out about it because it's proof positive that the format is getting popular. Luckily, none of the properties are one of my dream licenses so I'm safe for now. I just hope Super 7/Funko aren't spreading themselves too thin with trying to do so many properties at once because the quality and attention to detail could suffer from it. Also, I think one of the key factors in assuring that this format stays popular is to offer vehicles and playsets. These are what made the format popular back in the 70's and 80's. Sales of the Kenner Star Wars figures were off the charts, but I doubt it would have been like that if there were no ships or playsets to go with them.
Yes, my webpage is pretty much a mess right now. I thought it would be a good idea to let someone else take care of it and so far it's not working out very well.
Any chance of seeing smaller scale versions of Kenner's Oscar Goldman office and the bionic command center to go along with the 3.75" SMDM figures? Maybe even the M3-F5 with a test pilot Steve Austin figure?Comment

I've got two playsets planned for the line, the first one being an O.S.I Headquarters. The second one I'm keeping under wraps for now but I can say that it wasn't done for the large scale Kenner figures. If the line does well I would definitely look into getting the M3-F5 with test pilot Steve Austin made.Comment

I'm extremely excited about the Funko/Super 7 announcement. I hope it generates a lot of buzz and opens up even more licenses. 3 3/4" Star Wars really got me into collecting. I had a few Megos in the 70s- Batman, Spider-Man, The Fonz and Starsky and Hutch. With Star Wars I had more character than I could count and playsets too. I hope somebody does Star Trek.Comment

Already know about Hasbro, and greatly disappointed by that at the same time. Never thought I would say that but Star Trek fans were treated like a red headed step child ( no offense to any red heads, I love gingers. Especially those that are companions of Time Lords!) The license for Star Trek is so fragmented and all over the place, that I doubt it would prohibit a line of retro style 3 3/4" figures from coexisting with anything Hasbro would produce even if they were.Comment

True. But since Hasbro has just kept their mouths shut on the subject of 3 3/4" figures it makes it difficult to know what their rationale is. Or would be.Comment

How'z about Happy Days.....Three's Company.....or Bravestarr?Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

I'd love some Three's Company figures. Sanford and Son would be fun too. I really do wish Paramount and CBS and Hasbro and Diamond Select Toys and anyone else with any kind of say in it, would just get things together and bring us a 3 3/4" Star Trek line too. Sad thing is, it looks like all Hasbro's plans for Star Trek is just those Kreo building sets. Maybe for Star Trek's 50th Anniversary, but with JJ Abrams jumping over to the Star Wars franchise, I get the feeling Star Treks going to end up going back to a niche property. God I hope they prove me wrong.Comment

The line is moving along very well. I've seen pictures of the tooling samples and now I'm waiting on the painted samples. Once those get approved production will start.Comment
