Valiant Action Figures Please!! :-)

Pfft.

Think bigger...

Imagine this:

Two groups, one good and one evil, made up of EVERY single action figure in existance (i.e. Masters of the Universe, Captain Power, Super Powers (you know, the DC figures from the 80's), Marvel Superheroes (the Secret Wars line), GI. Joe, Star Wars, Silverhawks, the Real Ghostbusters, Filmation's Ghostbusters, Star Trek: TNG, Tigersharks, TMNT, Transformers, Robocop, Princess of Power (She-Ra), etc, etc, etc) under the leadership of Lion-O and Mumm-Ra.

That's how my brother and I spent out childhood.

Trust me, had VALIANT figures existed back then they would have been made part of the group.

I'd love to have played with Master Darque plotting against Mumm-Ra (Dr Doom was always backstabbing him for power).

Now that I think about it, I do believe someone has mentioned DC lite a time or two thousand.....

We stopped posting because Valiant said NO! lol
The new owners don't have toys in the plans!

I'm a big Valiant fan and I am glad I got some of the old Valiant/GoldKey properties! I would keep posting but it would make no sense as they won't do it. They would be great in our Indie Spotlight line only time will tell. Maybe if you all make enough noise something might happen. Maybe the new owners will get a jolt in their brain and get something going! Also if you want to discuss any of the properties we are doing in the Indie Spotlight line feel free to drop in!

You still need to post because of the Solar & Magnus figures!! There are many of us who would still love to buy them. You need to keep us updated on when/how we can get them. They are still in the plans for production correct?

Also, some friendly criticism for your web site: It is a little annoying with the color scheme you've got on the news releases. The blue dates look like the links & the black sentences don't look like links. If I were you I would switch the color scheme, make the dates black & the links blue. Cheers, ~Pete
