anybody else see this suicide squad SDCC exclusive? Im pretty sure I recognise that Panda Man sculpt as BUNNY! Are toy companies normally allowed to re-use between lines? Im not surprised though. No way would that sculpt only ever be used once.

It's Mattel that makes the dc and WWE so wouldn't be surprised if the sculpt is the same since it's the same company

Yeah I saw this a while ago. Funny how they reused the mold.

They have used the mold of MOTUC to make dc figures, so no surprise here.

You don't remember the Jakks Rocky line, I take it. I remember it very well in fact. Good call, the Rocky line didn't cross my mind. GI Joe/Street Fighter from Hasbro was another one. And Star Wars/Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves. And New Adventures Of He Man/Demolition Man. I guess my question has been well and truly answered. Boy is my face red, I tell ya

Robin Hood PoT also crossed over with DC Super Powers. Base mold of Robin Hood is Green Arrow

They do it all the time. Toy Biz used the Evolution of Sting surfer Sting torso for their WCW line (Sting/Bagwell), ML (Cyclops) and then their TNA line (Jarrett/Styles) to name just a few figures from various lines over the years.

I bought this set on eBay for a pretty reasonable price. The Joker looks far better painted/detailed than his retail counter parts, and the panda is just such a unique figure, I had to have it. Will be picking up from the post tomorrow.
But yeah, first time I noticed Mattel doing this myself was the MOTU body on the old DKR Batman I bought. I personally don't mind as long as the scale isn't terribly off (the Panda is in a mascot outfit, so it makes sense why he'd be bigger than Joker)

Correct, and I believe some of the assault weapons were also retooled ewok assault weapons

Might as well use the mold for something.

It looks like they applied some sort of deco effect to make the suit look more like felt or something. Could just be the photo, but it looks good.

Jarrett and Styles had totally different torsos in the TNA line though...
