Now Doc Mego has made it no secret, that He'd like nothing better then to Repro Mego WGSH(I watched Paul's interview at Mego Meet). But the question remains...should they be exact Replica's of Our Childhood Toys? Now some of Us would like that...and others wouldn't because it might de-value the Originals.
But let's forget Us "Old-Timers" for a minute...and think about the next Generation of 8" Cloth Figure Collectors. Just say..."what if"...Paul could get these Figues into Toys R' Us, and Target, etc... Would Kids buy these sometimes silly looking Figures? I think not! Realisticly...I think NEW Head Sculpts should be made to appeal to a wider Audience...both Kids & Mego Collectors! They could still have a "retro" look of some of the 70's(Neal Adams), or 80's(Batman:Year One)Artists...which I think would appeal to "BOTH" Generations.
A good example of this would be Troy Youngers work...Troy bridges the Gap! You know...something like this:
