There seems to be a nostalgic mood of late for Tim burton and the Schumacher films. Mezco tapped in to it a bit, and as much as I hate pops...and I mean hate....they just showed of the villain characters for Batman 1989, Batman returns, Batman forever and Batman and robin. Why can no company other than funko pick up on that and try something different?

End rant.
Reason is licensing. The Batman villains in the 90's were mostly all big name actors. POPs don't need to worry about likeness rights. I've heard that Nicholson doesn't allow likenesses on products. That's why there are no Shining figures or 1989 Joker figures that are licensed. You gotta go underground or custom for them. I heard that DeVito got paid a pretty penny for his sign off on the Mattel movie figure.

Would LOVE to see an action figure of Jeff Goldblum as Scarecrow for the unmade sequel to Batman & Robin. I once saw sketches of proposed costumes before production was halted. Fans would have been pissed. It was more "Wizard of Oz"ish than the comics.
