Would you be opposed to Mego doing their own thing and create new toys? Kinda like they did with Micronauts (just the example) and create some non licenced figures or just stick to licenced media.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, and in times like these, it might even be a revolutionary idea. However, I don't know if that's where the money is. They certainly can't give up the retro licenses, nor should they give up trying to snag new licenses. Established IP's have a built-in market, especially in today's pop culture, where it seems almost everything is a remake of the past. -
I think they are already enough companies out there doing "solid pieces of plastic." Mego is known for great articulation, cloth costumes, boots, shoes and other accessories. That's what makes them special. So no...I'd rather not see them branch off from the Mego style figure.sigpicComment

I think some 8" non-licensed figures could be cool.
They should be a bunch of space marines and aliens and call the line "Space Force"!Comment

Didn't Mego just act sort of as a distributor of the Micronauts? I didn't think Mego actually created the Micronauts, weren't they known as Microman in Japan?Comment

Yes, they were originally a line of toys by Takara. This was the same line that would eventually evolve into Transformers. Mego distributed the Microman line as Micronauts, and Hasbro eventually distributed the Micro Change (and Diaclone) lines as Transformers.Comment

True however Mego changed the back story and did develop their own stuff (like the aliens) that were not part of the Japanese line.Comment

Like add knights or aliens (not the movie)Comment

I'm all for it. Make it part of the Action Jackson line. One man fighter craft like the old Gay Toys vehicles and Irwin vehicles. A space station playset.Comment
