    How about EMCE Conan?

    Conan isn't owned by Marvel.

    Tarzan might go into that area too i think even.

    So there ya go first two for WGSH EMCE Repros

    Conan and Tarzan :-)

    That would be very, very cool. When I was a kid a good friend of mine had a mego conan. This was well before I even knew what a mego was. I loved chopping down other figures with that big battle axe.

      Conan & Tarzan

      That's brilliant.
      I'm new here so it might have been discussed before, but that would be great.

      Might be easier to get the rights/license than the Marvel & DC.

          Technically those two characters are owned by even bigger companies and even more stubborn then Marvel or DC could ever imagine. It would probably be a nightmare for Paul (Dr. Mego) to try and get licensing rights to produce action figures for Tarzan or even Conan. I am pretty sure Dr. Mego had to jump through a ton of hula hoops and red tape to get the rights to produce those Star Trek figures and I am sure it wasn't easy. If I am wrong, I am sure he'll correct me if he sees this.

          You want a Tarzan or Conan figure? I am pretty sure Dr. Mego could slap one together for you with all the parts he has laying around. You should give him a call.

            "If" they're able to produce a CONAN figure, let's hope that he doesn't have an oversized head like the MEGO one has.

              Both characters are currently being published in comics by Dark Horse, so they must not be that difficult to deal with.

                If they do Tarzan and Conan, I'd prefer exact replicas. Would be cool.

                  In addition, there's that Marvel Legends style Conan 2 Pk, so obviously they're open to toy licenses. Of course that appears to be a peg-warmer at my Wal-Mart so maybe not...

                    They might sell as part of the WGSH group, but I doubt they'd sell well on their own. So unless you get the rights to produce DC and Marvel characters I don't see why anyone would wanna put up the cash for these

                      There was an issue of Back Issue magazine that came out a couple of years back and it featured accounts from Roy Thomas and some others stating that is was very hard dealing with the ERB estate in regards to Tarzan.

                        Neca Has the Rights to make the Arnie Conan figures,.. not sure if that affects the Comicbook License.

                          Its that dang "naked" body design that everyone raves about that creates
                          that optical illusion---like I've said before Conan needs a bodysuit baby!

                            Nah, his head is a bit oversized no matter how ya slice it... Conan wearing pajamas isn't gonna fix that.

                            Plus, when he's decked out in his attire, he looks alright... It's when he's nude that he looks terrible.

                              I am not comfortable with how any of my figures look nude. It does pose an interesting question though, why did tarzan get the skin color suit, but conan didn't??? I am guessing because of the gauntlets, they don't fit over a suit??? Just curious.
