Hey, Old-School Toy Fans!

If you love those 8" cloth-style figures from the 1970s and 1980s, we've got news that's going to make you one happy collector…

Mattel has gone back in time for design inspiration and come up with heroes based on the look of those vintage figures for a brand-new line called Retro-Action DC Super Heroes!



Check out these prototype images. You'll see they're not recreations, but updates lovingly based on the old style. In some cases, we're even improving on iconic features for some of your favorite characters, like a more accurate belt buckle for Green Arrow, or an "s" curl in the hair of Superman.

Green Arrow is up first, and he'll be offered right here at MattyCollector.com on December 15th. This will be followed by a line at Toys "R" Us and select online retailers in the spring. There will be three waves of four figures in 2010, starting with these characters in Wave 1:



* Superman
* Sinestro
* Lex Luthor
* Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

So if you haven't already, register for email from me and I'll send a sale reminder right to your inbox. You can also follow me at Twitter and I'll tweet reminders there. Remember, Green Arrow goes on sale Tuesday, December 15th, just in time to purchase as a gift for your favorite collector — you!

Heh...

I don't CARE if these become hard to find.

looks like junk to me I mean why go backwards when you can get modern figures with superior detail, articulations...I like retro styling but that's just crap...pick something better then those to bring back...but after all its DC and they haven't had the greatest track record with figure lines lately...hell they have improved the dc universe figures but they still suck compared to the marvel universe figures.

Not sure I like the look of Supes, but I am liking the other three for sure, especially Lex.

If I said once once, I have said it 1,000 times before, if a company is going to do a Mego doll it better look like a Mego Doll.
