Mego may be long gone but they're certainly not forgotten!

Figures Toy Company has spent the last couple of years signing the rights to and releasing a number of classic Mego 8'' action figure lines (including the rather awesome Mad Monster figures and KISS dolls), culminating in what could possibly be their biggest line yet: an awesome line of retro Batman figures.

The four-figure line-up features the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin battling the terrible twosome of The Riddler and The Joker and is available to pre-order now, with Batman and Robin also available individually. And, for added protection, you can even pre-order the themed carrying case (the front of which also gives you a preview of the other characters set to join the line-up!). 

But whichever option you choose, act fast, as these figures are going to be in great demand!
