Now that would be cool.
I always thought the mego wizard of oz toys were wilder for some reason.
I imagine we would get added characters like the flying monkey creatures.

That would be insane. These figures are ALL still very attainable at a reasonable price. Also, I don't believe they sold all that well when mego sold them so what makes you think they would sell better 30 years later.

^ Very true...you can usually grab them BOXED on ebay for a very low price.

Actually they sold very well initially, but they were not popular with the boys.

You find them mint in box a lot because they were bought by adult fans of
the movie.

There are a lot of characters I would like to make before I make WOZ.

Yeah, WOZ is cool and all, but I do not think that it would do all that great sale wise when one can buy the originals at very reasonable prices still to this day. I would like to have a flying monkey though. That would be cool. Someone here did a custom flying monkey some time ago and it was totally awesome.

I for one am all for that. I hope that EMCE makes some super cool new releases. :smile:

LOL! I was gonna say you'll probably pay more for the repros then the originals :grin:

EMCE will have jumped the shark long before they repro WOZ (or at least I'd hope so).

This can't be a Serious thread,.. can it ?
With all the 5to10 buck Oz figures out there these days... :no:
But the idea of a Witch Soldier Dude,.. & a Flying Monkey do sound neat.

Kirk, Spock and the Klingon are easy to get, too. Doc's doing ok with those repros.
