Small Sundays: Plastic Man

Note: When I bought the grab bag this was in, I got it for this figure alone . (I ended up putting the rest right back in the donation box on the way out.) Poor Plas had seen some action, and was covered in crayon and diligently placed staples from head to toe. And by “diligently,” yes, I do mean at least one in the ass.
I forgot to check the details on the back of the figure, but I’m pretty sure this is from a Happy Meal/The Brave and the Bold tie-in, which makes it the happiest meal ever!
I always thought there was a potential for an extremely-cost-efficient Plastic Man toy line.
Aside from the main figure, you could just take already-existing molds of regular items, like a car, a mailbox, a lamp, do them in red plastic, slap a yellow-and-black decal on them, and BAM! You’ve got Plas in different forms.
I really think people would eat that up. You could even include them as chase figures in a JLA line — say, a Wonder Woman figure with a Plastic Man column or something. Hell, I’d buy it.
