Figures Toy Company has been selling licensed 8" figures for quite a while now, including outright reissues of DC Mego figures of the '70s. This Shazam has an updated outfit, different than the Mego original, with a larger lightning bolt insignia, cuffed boot tops, and a white cape. I bought mine loose in a factory bag to save money.

I watched the CBS live action TV show in the mid '70s,
so Shazam carries a level of nostalgia for me...

I have all of the figures from the first movie and a 12" talking Shazam and non-talking Dr. Sivana. Mentioning the 70s TV show always makes me think of "TV's Michael Gray"'s appearance on two episodes of Archer about 8 years ago.
