Met Marty at the Licensing Show

[drmego]

I went to the Licensing Show here in New York on Tuesday and met
Marty and Ken Abrams to give them a set of the new Star Trek figures
that MegoMeet attendees got a sneak peek of.

Marty was so pleased with the figures, he showed them to the
president of Hasbro and the president of Kay Bee Toys. Hopefully
something good will come of it.

Below is a picture of Marty holding Kirk and me holding the Klingon.

I also showed them to the guy at CBS/Paramount and they were
absolutely thrilled. I always say - underneath every 40 year old
man is a mego kid ready to play.

Wow, that's so cool Paul. From the smile on Marty's face I can tell his impressed. We can only hope him showing the figures off to Hasbro and Kay Bee Toys will open some more doors Or maybe convince them to start releasing 8" figures as well, Mego style that is.
The fact that CBS/Paramount is pleased is definitely good news, this could be the start of something HUGE

Either way, cool you got to meet "the man" himself

[Mikey]

[Dave Mc]

Very cool Paul! Nice to have the stamp of approval from the big man himself.

Very cool. From a collector standpoint, I for one wish you success. I have already ordered 2 of each figure. Can't wait for Romulan and Andorian.

[HardyGirl]

WOW! What an honor! That's amazing! I really hope something great happens for you, Paul.

Sweetness. With any luck I hope to someday be able to walk into a KBs and see these sitting on the pegs.

[Hulk]

Very cool Paul. What did he say when he saw his picture on the back?

[Comic Book Geek]

That is very cool. It has to bring him some joy that a dead company is still bringing joy to people this many years later... not to mention new "megos" being made in thier honor.

That's a super picture! What an experience.

Cool!
Congrates!
I've two sets on order also... One from Starlog and one from my local comic shop.
I hope it all goes well, I want to see the rest of the first six. I hope it will continue after that.

Even cooler

What really made my day was right after the picture. My friend Joe told
Marty that his would get a royalty check in a few weeks. Marty shook
his head and told Joe it wasn't about the money.

I chimed in that this was a labor of love. Marty gave me the godfather
pat on the cheek and smiled. "You understand." After all the back and
forth with Diamond and China over the past year - that moment made
it all worth it.
