    Wow. Color me impressed by both the license and Neca's decision to go with more of a classically influenced comic book interpretation and format. Similar to their Supes fig, I find these very appealing and, dare I say, Legends-esque.

    These look awesome. My only complaint is I just wish phantom had his two guns and holsters.

    I vaguely remember this show and went back to watch some of big and it has aged well.

    I worry that wave 1 won't sell well enough for NECA to release the rest of the planned figures to complete this line. The vintage line only had 6 figures so it would only require one more wave to recreate it. We've already seen Mandrake and Lothar at Toy Fair last year, and Garax is the only missing one.

    Also I love how the packaging emulates the vintage carded figures, down to NECA's logo resembling the Galoob logo. These figures will go great next to my Rocketeer figure.

    Yeah, they pretty much front loaded the first wave with all the name characters instead of mixing it up. Makes it seem like they don't have confidence in the line so they're just going to get the most out of it with the one wave.

    Unfortunately, no longer included with Prime Streaming. It is free to stream on Tubi, IMDB TV, and Pluto TV.

    I don't see this line being popular or selling well.

    Not trying to be a dick, but I'm in my 40's and this shit is before my time. It's a weird license for NECA to release stuff for.

    Agreed. Instead he comes with a laser and...a space monkey? What the fuck is that thing?

    I'll definitely pick up Ming to go with my Sword and Sorcery stuff, not sure about the other two though.

    Now if they'd gotten Billy Zane's likeness...

    No one can get Billy Zane’s likeness. Except, Billy Zane. Lol.

    I’m in for these. Something I wouldn’t ask for, but something I’m glad to have. Plus this is the dry run for when Neca lands DC in 2023.

    Keep in mind, these are based on a mix of the late 80’s cartoon, and the Galoob toys for the show. So they won’t likely include stuff from the comics or movies. Zuffy, the monkey-thing, was a pet of sorts on the show.

    Also in my 40s and the Defenders of the Earth toon aired on what became FOX5 WNYW circa 86 here in the tristate.

    Yeah, it was on in the afternoons if I remember right.

    I had watched it briefly when I was younger. I wouldn't say it was a favorite then, but it's aged surprisingly well compared to some other 80s toons (though still has its cringe-worthy moments). Once you get passed this wave though, I'm not sure the secondary characters will have any real draw. I hope I'm wrong, and they sell well enough for NECA to start looking at other 80s toons.

    Yup. I believe, if memory serves, that it also started airing on PIX11 (eventually becoming WB) after FOX stopped running the show.

    I remember really liking the reimagined Lothar. All the characters were pleasing, but Lothar stood out for me as a youth looking for cultural representation within the pop-entertainment I consumed. Thankfully, they upgraded his look and tweaked his backstory to make him more palatable to modern audiences and sensibilities.

    The show was pretty entertaining and the opening theme was one of the more memorable ones in an 80's landscape full of truly great theme songs.

    Show wasnt unwatchable from what I remember, somehow I think I remember this among shows like Bionic Six and The Centurions (love to see those redone). Ah, memories.

    Thoughts on the line, interesting but agree for the most part with the rest. I think though to my eye only Ming's paint job looks like it carried over from the early reveals, Flash and Phantom less so.

    Yeah, I feel like that theme song might be the most memorable thing about the show. I wouldn't say it's my favorite 80s theme but there's something about it that's really catchy.

    A third party company showed off renders for Centurions recently. Not sure if it was intended for figure or statues or what.

    What's wrong with NECA? Not trying to change your mind or throw negative behavior your way. Imo, I see them actually taking alot of care of making their toys, sculpts, paint decos, & likenesses. Definitely a good company imo curious why you don't like them? And usingthe old Robocops or older quality is not a valid a reply about current products, I feel. A good answer would be things like how the ab crunch has a big gap on one side & not the other.

    Centurions. Wasn't that put out by Kenner, essentially Hasbro? I do believe HASBRO is revamping it as it's in one of those groups of Hasbros new future lines.

    This is what I was referring to. Looks like it will be figures and not an official product.
