    I want more Action Jackson!

    Hey Mego Corp.! Bring it on:

    *Variant figures w/ gear

    *Team members: Dinah-Mite, Jet Jungle, and EF's Capt. Eagle

    *Dr. Kromedome and Gen. Mamba as foes!

    I'm picturing a Megoesque Adventure Team concept, it would be so much fun. The back of the card could include a comic panel/file card.

      OK Andy, we need to lobby for this lol. Hopefully the lack of license fees will tempting.

        I'll get some poster board and sharpies.

        I was late to the AJ party. This is my first AJ, aside from a vintage Ski Patrol outfit I couldn't refuse. Seriously, I could go completist on AJ costumes.

          Some Action Jackson outfits sold separately for say $9.99 would be cool, and love the Jet Jungle idea,

          I was thinking maybe Tarzan? if Marty could get the ERB license, something of a more screen accurate version
          not exactly the original look.

            I have a dozen boxed ones, I'm missing the sports sets. They seem scarcer.

              Tjac, ERB has great character possibilities.

                I'm with you fellows on all points, here. Just picked up an AJ at Target this morning and couldn't be happier! Expand the line!! Bring on the compadres, outfits, and gear. This was one of the things I was wishing for when we were all dreaming about what was coming from Mego Corp.

                Also, an ERB license for Mego Corp would make me very happy. I like the call for a reimagined Mego Tarzan. How about a John Carter of Mars line, too? Loved that Marvel comic as a kid and still have a complete run of them. When FTC was doing the REH characters, I was hoping to see an ERB line in the future.

                  Parachute, please!

                  I grew up with a healthy supply of AHI Parachutist Super Heroes. I had the Fisher Price Adventure People parachute. And yet, I've yet to fulfill the dream of tossing an 8 inch Mego with a scaled parachute into the air. Let's fix that.

                    I would love to see Action Jackson with a new head sculpt. Something like Nick Fury or Sgt.Rock? Then bring in the WW2 uniforms!! 😀

                      AJ Mego had to get rights permission from Castaway to do. Eagle Force is dog paddling around somewhere with Zica too.

                        Yes, I had wondered about Eagle Force because of Zica's kickstarter.

                          Heck we should have a zero rights action team ...World Trouble Force. Everything has a *** patch. All the generic heads ...Lancelot...Ivanhoe...Buffalo Bill...AJ and Dinah...the Astronaut...Jumpsuits and Mission gear. Vehicles. All home brew. Our own slogan ...World Trouble Force...When Trouble happens call out ***!

                            Action Jackson/Dinah-Mite expansion

                            I am stated before that I want more waves of Action Jackson and I want them to include Dyna-Mite in the mix. I would love to see them in the triangle boxes with accessories and different outfit but lets start to use different heads. These two are the best figure that could diversity ethnicity that most lines need.

                            When I used to resale figures I had customers who would ask if I could carry action figures that looked like there children. I also repainted figures so there kids could play with a figure that looks like them. Mattel has finally started to get that after many years and I think the New Mego could capitalize on it. Just look at the older Action Jackson heads and they were trying to add in hair and skin color to there mix:

                            Action Jackson variety of heads.jpg

                            Back in the day I loved the fact that you could just buy the outfits. This enabled you to expand your collection. Think about it, this could be a way to add to the New Mego Star Trek just by offering outfits. With different Action Jackson/Dinah-Mite carded figures all you would need to do is buy a Star Trek outfit to have crew members. This could be a way to add villains to fight Charlie Angles etc.

                            Its sounds like a golden ticket that is just waiting to be taken advantage of.
