What line of never produced figures, would you like to see from EMCE, CTVT or Castaway?
As a mego and an anime fan, I would go crazy for Star Blazers/Yamato figures done in the classic mego way.

Dream Line..? WISH some retro company would do a "Land of the Giants" line.. Most likely a 3-4" to match the supposed height on the original series. Oh well..

Lost In Space with the classic season 3 costumes and of course, a decent acurate robot. Add a Jupiter 2 fold out playset to go with it and I'll be the happiest camper ever.

I second Yamato That was one of the greatest shows ever. The toys for it have always been a little cheesy*( With the excetpion of the 3/34 figs from the 70's in japan and the bridge which I have WOW!) Doc could use the CK head in andorian blue for Desslok , the Astronought head would be a good start for Wildstar

I would like the entire Superfriends line (from the cartoon) with a hall of Justice playset and also with the Legion of Doom villains including a Hall of Doom playset as a foldout carrying case. Done in clasic mego style. Mostly to fill in the gaps - Black Vulcan, Flash, GL, Apache Chief, and Samurai etc, and especially the villians they never did. Grod, freeze, Luthor, Manta, Sinestro and so on.

Obviously, the WGSH line. But I'd also like to see 8" versions of Mego's Flash Gordon line. I dig the '30s retro look. The costumes are really detailed and the accessories are pretty cool, too.

I have so many favorites, both classic shows and more recent ones, but my dream line would have to be Babylon 5. I know figures (both large and small) were done back in the 90s, but they were pretty bad. Mego versions of the B5 characters would be so awesome! And there's such a great, colorful roster of characters to make.
A very close runner up would be the crew from the first Alien movie. I'd like all seven of them in their work uniforms with cool accessories like trackers, flamethrowers, Jones the cat, etc. (I figure this one will never happen since other companies already have the license.)
And finally, I'd love figures of one of my greatest "guilty pleasures," Andromeda. I think the characters, uniforms, and accessories would look great in Mego style.

Great !
Wish Lists !
My favourite topic !
Here’s mine:
Star Trek – woo hoo !
Planet of the Apes – check !
Space:1999 – well, sorta…
Batman
the 1966-69 TV show with Adam West
I have made some customs, but EMCE getting that license and putting out actual, “real” figures from that series would be a dream come true for me.
Gerry Anderson’s U.F.O.
greatly underappreciated, and horribly forgotten by everyone, this show with its silver bodysuits, Nehru jackets, and human-looking aliens in spacesuits was made for Mego-ization
Logan’s Run
I really want 8” scaled repros of those prototypes – I WILL have them someday…..
the Visitors
a series I thought of- Doc’s Alien heads molded in assorted colors with matching colored bodies and different colored bodysuits. I found a guy online who makes Silver Surfer bodysuits, and the shiny material is perfect for these.
(I couldn’t name this series “Aliens” because that means something to us action-figure and SciFi geeks)
The Astronauts
another one of my no-license-required concepts, this time providing us with an assortment of NASA accurate and science fiction inspired spacesuits. Just imagine having a Mego-scaled Lunar Module and two Apollo astronauts. My God, that would bring tears to my eyes…..
Six Million Dollar Man
But until that remake is filming, can’t see any real appeal for DST to try to sell them.
Bond, James Bond
Zorro, Lone Ranger and Tonto

The Jack Webb Trifecta
Emergency!
Adam 12
Dragnet
Not that I don't appreciate the LJN figures and thier own cheesy charm, but seeing only small catalog pics of E! figures I imagined more Mego quality ones with better outfits. I always thought Emergency and Adam 12 would've made great Mego lines(and given us plentiful police and fireman accessories). Dragnet would be cool on an adult collector's level as I would love a Mego Jack Webb.

I was going to put Star Wars on my list but I doubt I'll ever see it happen so I left it off. I would LOVE Star Wars figures in the Mego style. DaveMC's customs are so awesome! I love his Stormtrooper the most. I still haven't been able to recreate one for myself, but maybe someday. Actually I'd like to make about 10 of them but I don't think that'll happen. In the off chance that Star Wars ever gets Mego-like figures, I'll be buying an army of Stormtroopers.

I used to sing the Theme tune in my school playground.
I think the theme tune was my favorite part of the show.
I think each episopde was about 1 hour long, and after a while I'd get
bored...I can't remember The Water Margin's theme tune.
Do you remember a book called Banger's and Mash ???
I just remembered it this morning.

Using the Rascals bodies, clothes are no problem, sculpted hands and heads for bert, ernie, cookie monster, oscar, etc. Big Bird and Snuffie may require new tooling, maybe a plush/mego hybrid. You can have regular humans in the regular 8 inch mego body, and the muppets would still be in proper scale.
I think it could work.

Except for the possibility of a couple of leftovers from the original line, the 09' line will be all new!!! ......
Other than Trek....Rocket Robin Hood----This cartoon had Mego written all over it!
