      Wow! Sounds like they have big plans for Trek.
      It would be interesting to see Ilia in an 8 inch release, white dress and all, to go along with the rest of the crew.
      And of course Next Gen would be amazing. I never liked the larger Playmates figures, the 9 inchers or whatever they were.
      I feel like they all looked so bulky. But an 8 inch crew would be dynamite!

        I can't wait to get more Trek figures. The more, the better!

            Motion Picture figures would be really swell!

              Great interview!

              With all of those big plans for Star Trek... and knowing that Star Trek was the closest thing to a "sure thing" in their product offering... it makes you wonder why they are gambling on the sitcom figures? Surely they could have stocked the entirety of wave 1 with Trek figures. I can only assume it is about re-establishing the Mego brand across diverse lines of figures to win some *even bigger* license. But it is hard to imagine what that could be.

                I am SOOOO excited! Not only do we get more Trek stuff down the road (a new Enterprise playset in 2 years time hopefully), but this means Mego isn't going anywhere soon!

                    I can't wait either! I wish there were more than two ST figures in wave 2, but hey, with a total of six new ST Megos in just the last few months, I sure am not complaining. I think it's a safe bet wave 3 will include the Romulan Commander and a standalone Kirk. Marty mentions getting into the other series, but he's also interested in hearing what the fans want. Personally, aside from maybe a few TNG figures, I am fine with TOS & the TOS movies. I want a Sybok. "God," I want a Sybok. Ok, so maybe I'm the only one.

                    He also said the number of products in 2019 is expected to double. So if we get a total of 8 ST Megos this year, might we be getting as many as 16 next year? The phrase embarrassment of riches comes to mind.

                      16 for next year sounds really good. So that could be at least two new characters every two months. The real question now is do I have the shelf space

                            I hope to see the original crew completed ... with Nurse Chapel!

                              We are all so lucky to have Mego back in our lives. Yesterday a package arrived for me from Mego Headquarters, aka The Hall of Action Figures, in NYC. I have a lot of observations about the wave 2 figures and these will be coming to TrekMovie.com next week.
